Listen "The Government Contracting Roadmap: Finding Federal Opportunities and Navigating SAM.gov"

Episode Synopsis

Most small businesses give up on government contracting before they even start. Why? Because the process looks too complicated, too exclusive, or too risky. In this episode, April and Scott Gaeta get into the nuts and bolts of navigating SAM.gov and leveraging the power of the tool to find and vet opportunities. They provide practical, simplified steps and teach you how to: --> Find relevant opportunities and determine viability--> Read an RFP without getting overwhelmed--> Research entities, incumbent contracts, federal wage rate requirements, and more--> Why 150-page RFPs are mostly boilerplate (and what really matters) If you've visited SAM.gov and immediately felt lost, this episode gives you the clarity and checklist to start strong.
