Tues., Aug. 26
9-11 am EDT
Join ISOA for our next virtual Business Matchmaking session sponsored by the Small Business Committee. Small Businesses will have the opportunity to meet in small groups with large Prime Contractors (Primes) during this virtual session.
The session will begin with all participants in the same Zoom room. At that time, the Primes will introduce themselves. Next, the Primes will divide into breakout rooms. During this time, Small Businesses will rotate breakout rooms and have the opportunity to meet with all (or most) of the Primes.
Once you register, you will receive a link to the August 26 Zoom event. Please note you must use the same email address to login to the Zoom session on August 26 as you used to register for the session on our website.
Prime contractors already confirmed include:
- Amentum
- Culmen
- Fluor
- KBR
- Mission Essential
- SOSi
- V2X
Small businesses should prepare using these guidelines:
- Do your homework – learn as much as you can about the Primes you want to meet with.
- Have a great capabilities statement – spell out core competencies, past performance, and differentiators and be prepared to clearly and concisely explain how you can provide the best solution.
- Practice your pitch – be prepared with an “elevator pitch” that briefly highlights business capabilities, certifications, customers, past performance and your unique sales proposition.
- Arrive on time – the session starts at 9 AM EDT. The large Prime Contractors will not repeat their introductions during the breakout sessions.
- Watch the clock – you will be allocated just a minute or two to present yourself to the Prime. Remember that this is only an introductory session. You must allow the other businesses to present their pitches during the time allocated.
- Bring takeaway materials – make sure you have your links and contact info ready to share with the Primes.
- Exchange contact info
- Follow up
