Introduction to Government Sales

Details

What part do government sales play in your growth strategy? With over $50 billion to spend across six separate industries this coming budget cycle, the Victorian Government is a large and reliable market that is worth taking into account.

Government wants and needs to work with industry to carry out its programs and activities. If you are not gaining traction, or if you have held back on approaching government because you are not sure where to start, or you doubt your business is of interest to government, then this free information session is a must.

This information session is an optional precursor to Mia’s comprehensive full-day Government bid writing workshop.

Topics covered in Introduction to Government Sales

• The government as buyer and how government priorities influence how government deals with industry
• How to navigate the unique government procurement environment and why success demands different government sales management strategies than in the commercial sector
