In this episode, Eric Coffie delivers a wake-up call to small business owners chasing government contracts but skipping the rooms that create them. He lays out proof: multimillion-dollar contractors, agency insiders, and program directors from NASA, DOD, SBA, and the Department of State have all shown up to help—yet most small businesses never do. Eric breaks down how relationships with lawyers, accountants, and service providers can open doors to major opportunities and why showing up is still the most underrated growth strategy in GovCon.

Key Takeaways:

• Stop waiting for access—you're being invited and not showing up.

• Relationships with service providers = insider introductions.

• The real ROI is in the room, not in the replay.
