Getting Noticed! How to Enhance and Leverage Your SAM & SBA Profiles
Learn easy ways to enhance your federal market profiles and increase your chances of getting noticed for federal opportunities.
Approximately 50% of small businesses seeking opportunities with the federal government fail to complete or optimize their SAM & SBA profile, which often reduces their chances of being invited to bid on projects from federal agencies and large prime contractors. Is your firm one of them?
Both federal agencies and large prime contractors have small business goals to meet and actively search these databases to find qualified diverse small businesses to build relationships with and offer bidding opportunities to.
In this webinar you will hear firsthand from a former contracting officer discussing the importance of these two databases, and what you can do to make your profile stand out and increase your chances of being selected to bid on projects that typically aren’t published to the general public.
Other knowledge you will gain by attending this webinar:
- How to properly link your website to your profiles (many businesses do this incorrectly).
- How to select and add the right keywords to your SBA profile.
- How to access and update your SBA profile.
- What you should know about NAICS codes, and which should you have in your profiles.
- A step by step discussion of what should be included in each section of your SBA profile.
- How to get free resources in your local area to help you succeed in the government market.
