Sharing a few clips from Silas and our last Saturday Skool Community Zoom! One takeaway: don’t stop at registering with your state’s procurement portal. Go deeper within your state—cities, counties, school districts, public universities, housing authorities, and transit agencies may have separate vendor portals or marketplaces. Then look beyond your state. Where else can your business realistically deliver products or perform services? Explore those markets and check their registration and eligibility requirements. Start with a focused approach: ✅ Identify agencies that purchase what you offer. ✅ Find their official procurement portals and register where appropriate. ✅ Select accurate product and service categories and turn on bid notifications. ✅ Review past awards and introduce your business to purchasing contacts. Registration opens the door. Research, relationships, and follow-through help you move forward. Watch the clips, then share below: 👇🏽 What’s one new agency or market you’re going to explore this week?
