Small Business Owners! Big business needs you. In this workshop, you'll learn how to value your products and services and go after and land the big contracts out there wanting to do business with the micro business owners. They see value in doing business with you but need to know you're there if you're not bidding on the business.
Small thinking produces small results. But small business owners who know the value of their products and services don’t think small. They think that with confidence, expert big business negotiator and former global business director Quinn Slaughter will show you the ins and outs of securing a new business with multi-year contracts.
Learn to:
Where to find bids
Clearly articulate your value, uniqueness, and market.
Make your bids and proposals stand out.
Eliminate fear of bidding on large projects in large companies.
Speak big business language to get noticed.
Session Exercises:
Transform common small business phrases into big business language.
Practice completing key sections in a Request for Quote (RFQ) template.
Takeaways:
Worksheets and handouts
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, approximately 20% of small businesses fail within their first year, 30% in year two, and 70% in year 10. One of the most common reasons for failure is a lack of demand for the product or service. If you're looking to build a sustainable business, one way is to lock in big business deals with multi-year contracts that will sustain your business's lifecycle.
