Benefits

Many businesses want to sell their services and products to the federal government but find the process confusing and filled with dead ends and frustration. They see competitors winning contracts but cannot seem to get through to decision makers, or they waste time and resources responding to bids that they never win. This teleconference demystifies the federal contracting process and identifies a step-by-step process to increasing sales to the U.S. federal government. The teleconference clearly identifies how to find the agencies, offices and people who buy specific services and products. We'll cover the mandatory tools needed as door-openers, how to sell to the military and civilian agencies, and how the government actually buys - credit card purchases, bids, contracts and grants. Failing to understand the key differences between corporate and federal sales is the most common error business people make in this market. This mistake has cost businesses thousands, hundreds of thousands and even millions in lost contracts. This teleconference is critical for large and small companies that want to successfully enter the federal marketplace.
