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?

Here’s your business reminder for today: Being busy and building a business are not always the same thing. Sometimes we can spend the entire day answering emails, returning calls, handling problems, and putting out fires—and still not move the business forward. So this morning, I want you to ask yourself: 👉 What is ONE thing I can complete today that could actually create an opportunity for my business? Maybe it’s: • Following up on that government opportunity you saved • Completing or updating your SAM.gov profile • Reaching back out to a potential customer or partner • Sending the capability statement you’ve been sitting on • Asking for the meeting • Following up on the quote • Reviewing an RFQ instead of just saving it for later • Making the phone call you keep putting off Remember one of my favorite sayings: “Closed mouths do not get fed.” Opportunities don't always come knocking. Sometimes you have to introduce yourself, follow up, ask the question, and put your business in the room. 🎯 Thursday Challenge: Before today ends, do ONE revenue-producing or opportunity-producing activity for your business. Then come back and tell us: What did you get done? Let’s finish September strong. 💪🏾 CFS Solutions DBS Team
