YOU'RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE

LIVE webinar on pricing strategy for government contracts. Walk away with a clear framework to price smarter and bid with confidence.

Most small businesses lose government contracts because of their price. They underprice and burn out, or they overprice and get cut. Most of them simply guess.

WHAT YOU WILL LEAVE WITH

☑ A repeatable method to build your price
☑ How agencies actually score pricing
☑ The Price It Right Worksheet for your next bid

QUESTIONS WE WILL ANSWER LIVE

☑ How do I know what to charge on a government bid?
☑ Does the lowest price always win?
☑ Can I just use what my competitor charged last year?
☑ How do I know which pricing format to use?
☑ What costs am I most likely to forget?

If you have ever asked one of these questions, this class is for you. Bring your questions to the class and get real answers from contractors who price bids every day.

Overview

Train with two active government contractors who have won work with Atlanta Public Schools, Fulton County, MARTA, Delaware State and MORE!

Win More Local Government Contracts

State, local, and education agencies buy billions of dollars in products and services every year. Most small businesses never submit a proposal because they don't know where to start.

During this two day hands on workshop bootcamp, you'll learn how to register with local agencies, find opportunities in your area, and write a proposal you can actually submit.

9/13 Friday
7-Figure Summit Dinner

THE 7 FIGURE DINNER
Location: TBD

This is not networking. This is the prelude to the class.

Before you sit down for the Summit, you sit down with the people you are learning alongside. Fifteen seats. One industry. Every person across the table is a potential teaming partner, subcontractor, or prime.

You will sit down to a guided conversation designed to help you get to know each other before the work begins, not a stack of business cards you will never call.

Expect:

☑ An intimate room of government contractors at all stages in your industry
☑ Structured, guided conversation, not small talk
☑ A chance to know your classmates before day one starts
☑ An evening to remember

This is where relationships turn into revenue.

Clayton State University, Launch CSU Innovation Center, Morrow, GA

Clayton State University did not want another traditional entrepreneurship program. They wanted a transformational experience. So they brought us in to build it.

We created the Launch CSU curriculum from the ground up. We mapped the participant journey, developed the content, and built a framework the university can run again and again. We staffed it with the right instructors and a support team. We managed the program day to day so the university could stay focused on strategy. And we ran the outreach and promotion that filled the room.

Together we welcomed 40 entrepreneurs into the inaugural cohort. Participants praised the professionalism and the organization. The systems we put in place created an environment where entrepreneurs felt empowered to keep moving their businesses forward.

"GovConNOW is far more than a service provider. They are a true strategic partner. They take the time to understand your mission, your audience, and your goals, then work alongside you to bring that vision to life. For institutions building entrepreneurship, workforce development, or small business support programs, GovConNOW brings the expertise, creativity, and operational capacity to accelerate success. LaunchCSU is stronger because of this partnership." -
