Did you know that if you buy or sell a company that already has government contracts, you have to get approval from the government to KEEP those contracts? In fact, you have to get approval from EVERY government agency/organization individually. This is part of a process called contract novation. In this episode of Game Changers, we sit down with Steve Meredith from the Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission to discuss the basics of contract novation. If you are involved in the sale or acquisition of a company (currently or in the near future) that has government contracts, you don’t want to miss this episode.

Typically, when we talk about succeeding in the government market, we tend to talk a lot about things like sales, marketing, business development, proposal writing, and other “fundamentals” of business. What we don’t talk a lot about, is the PEOPLE that make all of that work possible. At the end of the day, it’s a person performing sales tasks, writing your marketing pieces, executing a business development/capture strategy. People are the most important aspect of your business. So how do you cultivate a climate in your company that is both healthy and productive? That’s exactly what this episode is about.

A common challenge for all business owners is finding, hiring, and maintaining quality employees. Most companies tend to go through “rounds” or bursts of hiring. This model relies heavily on job boards and short-term marketing strategies. The biggest drawback to this model is that you get a limited number of applicants over a short period of time AND you don’t get a chance to build a relationship with these people. The alternative is to always be recruiting. This podcast is directed heavily at the cybersecurity industry, but all of the strategies we discuss are applicable across all industries.
