Consulting
"Dan did a fantastic job getting us set up and in just 2 days had us in 'Shipley shape'. Thanks for lending us a pro!"
R. Harrison Yelton, Vice President, Satellite Systems

“Jim is perhaps the best business development person that I have ever met.”
Chris King, Director of Directed Energy Weapon Programs, Raytheon Missile Systems

Courses and Trainings
“After taking this course, you will have a reliable roadmap for capture management, which will lead to a higher success rate.”
Aldo Apponi, Staff Scientist, GEOST Inc.

“An excellent summary of capture management strategies and skill sets. Great interaction and discussions.”
Chris Centamore, Advanced Optical Systems, AOS Inc.

"SSD offers a wealth of past experience that directly relates to capture success. I enjoyed the dialog with other capture managers and hearing lessons-learned and best practices."
Bryce Unruh, Sr. Projects Engineer, Ball Aerospace

"Great job Jim! It was nice to see the BD process addressed end-to-end and to have it be so industry specific. Well worth it."
Mark Schwalm, Director of Advanced Programs, L-3 SSG Tinsley

"A must for anyone in BD. A huge help, certainly in terms of awareness for someone working in a near-BD environment (like me)."
Bob Hall, Technical Director, Space Superiority, AGI

“A great lesson in the basics of Business Development. The experience that Jim brings to the class provides excellent real-life examples to accompany these lessons.”
Sean Olding, L-3 Communications Cincinnati Electronics / Business Development Engineer

“Outstanding course with great exchange highlighting the real needs for Business Development.”
David Cela, Raytheon, Sr. Manager

"Great overview...concept oriented rather than component oriented."
Mike Orazi, Strategic Planner, Lockheed Martin

"Excellent intro - every aerospace BD person involved with spacecraft should take it if they don't have an engineering background."
Brittny Brimmer, Strategic Planner, Lockheed Martin

"As an MBA and a non-engineer, this had great value to me. I will at least better understand the engineers if not actually be better able to communicate with them."
Todd Handy, Director, Strategy & Business Development, ATK

"Insightful and introduced some factors that we were not considering as a small business.”
Dave Strobel, CEO, Space Micro Inc.

"I feel the webinar was interesting and insightful. It gives one something to think about when bidding against a large business."
Sharon Rubin, Contracts Manager, Space Vector Corporation
