The afternoon event includes eight different speakers from various government agencies each sharing on how to sell to them. You can network with your fellow small business owners, get contact information from agency purchasing folks, get great "how to" information on selling to the government, and be able ask questions about your specific products/services or problems.

FEATURED SUCCESS STORY
Small businesses + ASU-SBDC = SUCCESS!
|
Owner/Managers : Jesse Ramirez
Nature of Business : Guitar Instruction
City : San Angelo
SBDC Business Advisor : Cindy Hartin
Jesse came to the SBDC for assistance with the management of his business, customers and bookkeeping. Jesse and Cindy Hartin worked together to set up a system through QuickBooks to track his students as well as his inventory.
"The ASU SBDC helped me learn QuickBooks. Without this, I wouldn't have a way to manage my students' monthly tuition, and sale of lesson books and guitar accessories.
The SBDC is very helpful and are very easy to schedule appointments with. They have helped my business by making the managing part nearly effortless. It allows me to concentrate on my private students, weddings, and concert events knowing that bookkeeping won't be a chore.
I highly recommend the ASU SBDC to all new and seasoned business owners." - Jesse Ramirez
