How I Turned My Failing Business Around By Winning A Government Contract
Manage episode 474764528 series 3646425
When I bought my laundromat business, I thought that once it was all modernized and refreshed, I was going to make passive income every month, sat at home on the sofa. What actually happened was that the refurbishments I made alienated my customer base and lost me money. But I turned it around by finding a new customer: the government.
In this episode of the Pivot & Profit podcast, I unpack how I got my first ever government contract, even though I was only a small local business. I tell you through the steps I went through to register my business to receive government contracts and the extra certifications I got that helped me to stand out from the crowd. If you’re a minority or a veteran, you’ll definitely want to hear that! I also share advice about how I earn contracts now and how I choose which expensive government contracting conferences will be worth my while to attend so I can get more contracts for my laundry business.
I hope that this episode inspired you to think of the government as a potential client for your small business! Don’t forget to download my checklist that’ll guide you through everything you need to know to register your small business to take on government contracts.
