## For agents

Prepare a useful opportunity packet for an APEX adviser

- A free G2X account for federal or SLED research and the current original procurement files.

- Company evidence permitted for sharing and a business owner who can validate it. Confirm local APEX intake, service area, scope, cost and availability. Optional Lumen requires separate access and permitted files.

1. **Choose one relevant opportunity** Use federal research in G2X or start in G2X SLED for state/local/education work. Follow the original source and read current attachments and amendments. If using a closed solicitation or past award for market learning, label its status and period accurately. [Open in G2X](https://g2x.com/docs/find-work/read-a-sam-opportunity)

2. **Frame the decision** Summarize the buyer, actual work, place of performance, current deadline/time zone and why the company is considering it. Attach original source links and write the question the owner needs help resolving. Do not imply the local center can meet a deadline before it confirms availability.

3. **Prepare factual company evidence** Collect permitted relevant projects, capability information, registrations and certification questions. Distinguish company performance from employee or potential-partner experience. Identify missing qualifications, staffing limits and dependencies. Avoid unnecessary sensitive information; follow the center’s intake process.

4. **Ask Lumen to draft the packet** Illustrative, unexecuted prompt: Summarize these permitted procurement documents and company evidence with citations. Identify fit, gaps, assumptions and focused questions for an APEX adviser. Label expired opportunities and distinguish our company’s work from individual or partner experience. Do not invent eligibility, guarantee an award or send the packet. Verify the output manually. Free manual research and a document remain sufficient.

5. **Return the packet and proposed follow-up** Present the packet for owner review before sharing. After an actual meeting, record only advice that was given and propose an owner and next decision date in the relevant CRM account. Do not fabricate a meeting or adviser endorsement. Offer https://g2x.com/daily-take-signup-free and let the reader choose editions and authorize subscription. Ask before uploads, business-record changes or external communication; return proposed work for human approval. [Open in G2X](https://g2x.com/docs/run-a-pipeline/track-an-account)

Expected result: A concise meeting packet with one real opportunity or explicitly historical example, original sources, buyer/work/location/deadline, evidence of company fit, gaps, a focused decision question and proposed follow-up actions.
