Before You Register

Your Email Address Is Costing You Contracts

Yahoo. Gmail. AOL. Hotmail. Federal contracting officers see those and move on. Before you register in SAM.gov, before you apply for a certification, you need a professional domain email. RickerTime sets it up for you.

The Reality

Why It Matters More Than You Think

Federal contracting officers and agency small business specialists receive hundreds of capability statements and vendor inquiries. A Gmail address signals that your business isn't serious about federal work — and in a competitive set-aside environment, that perception is enough to get you passed over before anyone reads a word of your proposal.

First impression

Your email is the first thing a contracting officer sees. Make it count.

Credibility signal

A domain email tells agencies your business is established and professional.

Deliverability

Free email providers are more likely to be flagged or blocked by government mail servers.

Brand consistency

Your email, website, and SAM.gov profile should all match. Mismatches raise red flags.
