And we're off... ?? Our first session of the 2025 GCF Small Business Impact Institute (SBII) Cohort was packed with game-changing insights, real-world strategies, and powerful connections—all designed to help us secure corporate and government contracts. Key Takeaways from Session 1: ?? Procurement Best Practices – Learned firsthand from Latesha Isbell, MBA, CEM, CDSM and Paul Adamson on how to navigate procurement systems, gain visibility, and secure contracts. ?? Crafting a Strong Capability Statement – It’s not just about having one—it’s about making it stand out. We explored how to effectively showcase our business strengths, qualifications, and value proposition to potential buyers. ?? Mastering the 30-Second Elevator Pitch – When opportunity knocks, we need to be ready! It's important to refine how to confidently and concisely communicate our business value to decision-makers. A huge shoutout to Deirdra Cox, CPC, the Gwinnett Chamber Foundation SBII team, and our amazing speakers for delivering such an impactful session! ???? Can’t wait to build on these insights in the months ahead. #GCFImpact #SmallBusinessGrowth #ProcurementReadiness #BusinessCertification #CorporateContracts #GovernmentContracting #Entrepreneurship #LearningAndGrowing
