WORKSHOP: How to get your business in front of major companies and actually secure a contract

17 Oct 2026
Entrepreneurs Stage
Getting your business in front of major companies and actually winning their contracts takes more than a great product or service. You need to understand how procurement actually works, build the right relationships, and pitch in a way that lands. You also need to manage your own costs and operations well enough to deliver at scale without losing your margins. This workshop combines insider procurement expertise with real lessons from a founder who's secured contracts with household brands and built the business infrastructure to deliver profitably.
