Introduction to Certifications

The government is the world's largest buyer — and the #1 growth opportunity for small businesses. But most firms struggle to understand the marketplace, write winning proposals, or get small business certifications that unlock set-aside contracts. That's where this podcast comes in. For over 20 years, I've helped hundreds of small businesses win billions of dollars in government contracts — especially minority-owned businesses (MBE), woman-owned businesses (WBE), veteran-owned businesses (VOSB), and 8(a) firms. I break down federal contracting and selling to the government into practical, actionable steps you can implement immediately. Every episode, you'll learn how to:<ul><li>Find contracts your company can actually win</li><li>Write proposals contracting officers approve</li><li>Get certified as 8(a), MBE, WBE, or VOSB—without the confusion</li><li>Build relationships with agency buyers, not just submit cold bids</li><li>Avoid the mistakes that kill 90% of small business bids</li><li>Grow your revenue through federal contracts</li></ul> Want to go deeper? I've published two books for government contractors: one on proposal writing, one on leveraging certifications to win more work, and a third on marketing to federal agencies is coming soon. Visit WinningGovernmentContracts.com for free resources, templates, and tools to help you win faster. The government spends over $500 billion annually with small businesses.The only question is: What's it costing you every day you're NOT in the game? Let's start Winning Government Contracts.
