Advice from an Expert
When the government is an intended source of sales revenue for your business, it is important to prioritize building solid relationships. One common marketing method is to attend business matchmaking events like our upcoming 2021 Virtual Norcal Gov2Biz Matchmaker. Matchmaking typically offers the vendor 10-15 minutes to sit with an advocate or buyer from a government agency, to introduce themselves and their business, and discuss how their company can meet the needs of that agency.
