Description

Did you know that the US Government is the largest buyer in the world spending $410 billion dollars in government contracting each year?

This course Government Contracting for Everyone aims to teach you the basic knowledge of government contracting or B2G sales. B2G is business to government and unlike Business-to-Consumer or Business-to-Business sales, starting a B2G company can be complicated, and finding the most current and relevant information you need can be frustrating. And that is why I created this course.

Whether you are a current small business owner, recent graduate or startup entrepreneur exploring new opportunities, this course is designed to make government contracting and its convoluted regulations fun and easy to understand for everyone.

This course is broken down into 5 different sections or modules, 28 lessons, in chronological order from the first step of forming your business to the last step winning and successfully performing your first government contract.

After each section will be a short quiz to help you remember the key take-aways. Also as a bonus for Udemy only, I added a bonus video at the end of the course to go over some of the most common B2G mistakes I came across since consulting small businesses.

I hope you enjoy this course.
