HOW COMPANIES WIN BILLIONS IN GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS The world's largest customer is buying. Is your business positioned to win? Every year, federal, state and local government agencies spend hundreds of billions of dollars purchasing everything from construction, information technology and professional services to healthcare, staffing, logistics, real estate, consulting, facilities management and thousands of products and services you may never associate with government contracting. Yet many successful business owners never seriously consider the government as a customer. What if your company is already selling something the government buys? Join Sharna Barnes, government contracting strategist, entrepreneur and Founder of Complete Contract Consulting, for an engaging executive level introduction to one of the largest and most overlooked business marketplaces in America, THE US GOVERNMENT. In this interactive session, Sharna will take members behind the curtain of government procurement to explore how companies identify opportunities, position themselves to compete and ultimately win government business. You'll discover: - What government actually buys and why opportunities extend far beyond defense and construction - Where the money is going across federal, state and local government markets - How companies find opportunities before deciding which contracts are worth pursuing - Why some businesses repeatedly win while others submit proposal after proposal without success - What government buyers and evaluators really look for when selecting contractors - How small and emerging businesses can compete through certifications, subcontracting, teaming and strategic positioning - The costly mistakes that prevent otherwise successful companies from winning government business - How to determine whether government contracting belongs in your company's growth strategy And we'll put the opportunity to the test. During the session, members will be challenged to consider their own businesses, industries and professional networks to answer one powerful question: Could the government become your next major customer? Whether you're a CEO, entrepreneur, investor, attorney, consultant, corporate executive or simply curious about how billions of dollars in public sector business are awarded, this session will give you a new perspective on an enormous marketplace hiding in plain sight. No previous government contracting experience is required. 45-Minute Interactive Executive Presentation | 15-Minute Q&A | Networking Immediately Following *This is a complimentary event for members.
