Doing Business With the Government Series

According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, the world's largest buyer of goods and services is the federal government, with purchases totaling more than $425 billion per year. The government especially encourages small businesses to bid on its contracts; each year, billions of dollars in contracts are set aside, by law, exclusively for small and minority-owned businesses.

Selling to the federal government can provide significant revenues for your staffing firm—but the process can be a bit overwhelming. This Webinar series can help you position your company for contracting opportunities. It will teach the basics of selling to the government, show you how to get started and pursue opportunities, and provide resources that will give you the knowledge and skills you need to help you succeed.

You can purchase one or all four of the archived courses from ASAPro—ASA's professional development center. To purchase—visit ASAPro and log in to your personal account, then search for the four archived courses in the series. Just add the courses to your shopping cart to purchase and view them.

Participants can take an online quiz after each course and earn an electronic certification of completion to present when bidding for government contracts.
