Description
Becoming a supplier to a large company can be a game changer for your business. The SBA reports that, based on a recent study, small businesses who are suppliers to large corporations reported revenue growth of more than 250 percent and employment increased by more than 150 percent on average. The first step in accessing these opportunities is understanding how the system works. The webinar will explore the fundamentals of corporate markets and will help explain where, when, why, and by whom purchasing decisions are made.
Large companies also know the value that supply chain networks have for them and their customers, and have strengthened their efforts to reach out to small suppliers. You’ll learn about some of these opportunities and resources, as well as resources for women and minority owned businesses.
Attendees will also receive free access to Braddock's Procurement Opportunities Guide, 2013 Edition, which designed to help small-business owners and decision-makers understand the procurement process used by governments and large corporations. The Guide also presents "next-step" resources that small business can use to penetrate these markets.
