Selling to the Commonwealth Seminar

Moving your business forward

Calling All Small Business Owners and Entrepreneurs

You are invited to attend the upcoming Selling to the Commonwealth Seminar

Last year, the Commonwealth of Virginia spent more than $6 Billion on goods and services. Goods and services that you probably sell! For every $100 the Commonwealth spent on goods and services, $37, went to a SWaM vendor. Are you getting your share???

This free seminar will help position your firm to capitalize on this enormous market. The seminar will teach you how to best identify your target audience across all state agencies in the Commonwealth of Virginia. In addition, you will learn the value of an effective business plan in keeping your business on course and giving you a competitive advantage when seeking capital. You will also learn about the ease of having your business become SWaM and Micro certified and how this can impact your firm’s sales.

This combination of seminars promises to provide key elements of business practices to move your business forward.
