Train like you intend to win

High-impact training for teams competing for complex work in government, AEC, and commercial professional services.

Training for teams who want to win, not just stay busy.

We design and deliver training for professionals navigating competitive pursuits, long sales cycles, and high-stakes decisions. That includes government contractors, AEC firms, and B2B professional services teams selling complex, relationship-driven work.

Our programs are practical, engaging, and grounded in real-world execution. No talking at you for hours. No recycled slides. No abstract theory that falls apart under deadline pressure.

Whether you’re looking for foundational training, live deep dives, or custom sessions for your team, our goal is simple: help you think sharper, execute better, and compete with confidence.

Explore the training options that fit your goals – and how your team actually works.

Training Built for How Teams Actually Learn

Not every team needs the same kind of training at the same time.
Some need a strong foundation. Some need to go deeper on a specific challenge. Some want free insight before committing. Others need training tailored to their business, their market, and their people.
That’s why Summit offers multiple training formats… each designed for a different goal, learning style, and level of depth.
Use the options below to explore what fits your team right now. Many clients engage with more than one over time.
You don’t have to choose just one. These programs are designed to work together.

Krystn Macomber, CP APMP Fellow, LEED AP

Creator of the Summit Win System™

Krystn is the lead trainer behind Summit Strategy’s learning programs, including the Summit Win Academy™, Climb Sessions™, and custom growth workshops.

Krystn is the best proposal writer I’ve seen in my career.

"After 20+ years as a contracting officer, I can confidently say Krystn is the best proposal writer + speaker I’ve ever met. Her approach and training produce the kind of proposals I actually wanted to read as a KO… strategic, clear, and written with the evaluator in mind. She teaches teams how to communicate the way the government thinks, not just how to fill out a compliant response."
- Erin Olenjack,
Former DoD Contracting Officer

With more than 20 years of experience across federal, state, local, and commercial markets, she has helped early-stage firms and global enterprises rethink how they pursue, position, and win work. She has trained tens of thousands of industry professionals through workshops, conferences, and executive strategy sessions.

Krystn created the Summit Win System™ after observing a consistent pattern across high-performing teams: effort was rarely the issue — alignment and execution were. Her training focuses on building connected growth systems that integrate business development, capture, marketing, proposals, and leadership decision-making into one cohesive strategy.

Known for her direct approach and practical instruction style, Krystn helps teams move out of reactive mode and into deliberate, scalable growth.

Summit Climb Sessions

Live, focused workshops for teams ready to go deeper on specific challenges.

Climb Sessions™ are live, cohort-based workshops designed to tackle one growth challenge at a time.

These sessions are highly interactive and intentionally small. You show up with a real issue. You leave with something built.

Think of these as the steep sections of the trail… where focus, guidance, and momentum matter most. These sessions are intentionally narrow and deep.

Basecamp Briefings: ARMY MAPS is Back in Action

Everyone watching Army MAPS got a gut punch in early 2025 when the Army paused the entire acquisition. After nine months of uncertainty, the Army Contracting Command formally announced in December that MAPS is moving forward. The $50B vehicle is alive — and the final RFP is expected any day now.

As of March 2026, the Army released its fifth draft RFP with the final solicitation anticipated in late March or early April. That means if you're not already positioned, you're running out of runway. This session is all about the moves that will actually move you forward across BD, proposals, marketing, brand, and the contract vehicles that matter this year.

In this Basecamp Briefing, we’re breaking down what you need to know right now:
🏔️ What happened — the pause, the pivot, and where MAPS stands today
🏔️ What's changed since the 2025 drafts (scoring, gate criteria, domains)
🏔️ The biggest readiness traps that will get you screened out before evaluation even starts
🏔️ How to maximize your scorecard before the final RFP locks in
🏔️ Go/no-go considerations and teaming moves that actually strengthen your position

MAPS replaces both ITES-3S and RS3 when they expire in 2027 — this isn't optional positioning. If Army work is part of your growth strategy, this is the session you need.

Custom Team Training

Tailored training for teams who want something built around their business… not a generic agenda.

Some teams don’t need off-the-shelf training. They need sessions designed around their goals, challenges, and market realities.

Summit delivers custom training (virtual or in person) across business development, capture, proposals, orals, account planning, positioning, and team alignment.

We work closely with leadership to design sessions that are relevant, engaging, and immediately useful.

Every engagement is designed collaboratively and scoped intentionally.

Best For

  • Internal team traninig
  • Leadership offsites
  • Seller-doer enablement
  • Cross-functional alignment
