On-Demand: I'm Certified, Now What?
You have received notification that your certification application with a government agency is approved and now you are eligible to compete for prime contract and subcontract opportunities. If you are unsure how to compete for these opportunities or how to market yourself to government agencies, this workshop will provide you information about how you can use the benefits of your certification to compete for government contracts. We will provide you information on:

- Understanding the systems available to you to conduct market research to identify your target agencies to market your business.
- Recommendations for marketing to government representatives.
- The role of the government Small Business Representative and how they help you understand what an agency buys, and how they buy it.
