10 Marketing to SSDD? Some Considerations SSDD is a reimbursable organization, operating with about $200M annual budget, so Whose money will be funding your idea? SSDD is a family of 200 government and 600 contractor employees, so What is your strategy to marry into the family? SSDD depends heavily on AMCOM Express, so How do you suggest that we transact business? Do you see us as a partner, or as a competitor?? 10 Yourfilename.ppt
