In this episode, we talk with David Neal about Filling Your Small Business Pipeline. One of the challenges for small businesses is that they don’t have enough tools or resources in their tool bag. That makes companies rely very heavily on just one or two strategies such as their status in order to fill their pipeline. It’s like being a carpenter and only having a hammer in your tool bag. During this podcast, you will hear several tactics and strategies for filling your pipeline. Our hope is that two or three of these will resonate with you and then you will be able to add those to your tool bag.

In this episode, we talk with Jon Barker about Price to Win Strategies. Winning a government contract often comes down to your price. If your price is not competitive, you lose. If your price isn’t justified, you lose. If you don’t understand your pricing or don’t have a clear pricing strategy, you will likely lose. We fix this by having an overall pricing strategy that we can easily modify for each opportunity. Jon and Mike talk about all of this as well as ways to find pricing information to help build your strategy.
