Land Federal Government Projects as an Independent Consultant

The federal marketplace is a sector built around regulations and relationships in the contracting lifecycle. One common scenario that happens in the market is when a business needs to request information by contacting a contractor to do it for them because they can't obtain it themselves. Although it seems easy to do, in reality, it is quite a tedious process as it includes a contract between the business and the contractor that contains all the necessary premises agreed upon by the constituents.

In this webinar, Brad Nestico, Founder of Braddick Consulting and Head of the Blue Beacon Federal Contracting, shared his insights on the federal marketplace and how to grow your pipeline. He also discussed federal contracting and the different keys to the success of business development for independents and 1099 contractors.
