SUMMARY:Illinois APEX Accelerator Webinar: Start Now in Government Contracting Series Part 1 – Conducting Market Research
DESCRIPTION:This session is part 1 of a 3-part series. \nPresented by Keli Krueger-Huhra\, Director – Illinois APEX Accelerator at Champaign County EDC \nWhat do we find when we do Market Research?  Propensity!  In other words: \n\nWho buys what you sell?\nHow do they buy it?\nHow often do they buy it?\nHow much they are buying?\n\nThis is the beginning of the journey to determine if government contracting is a good fit for your business.  In the first of our 3-part series\, we will help you decide whether you can compete based on what the marketplace tells you.  You’ll learn how to effectively use available resources to perform research for past awards\, current agency opportunities\, and forecasts to determine which agencies use your product or services.  We’ll show you how to generate agency top ten lists and see how you can get questions answered by using the search criteria for informing the results. \nDate: Friday\, April 11\, 2025\nTime: 10-11 AM \nRegister: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_LsnGyGh1TOOWvOWHRICEUA \n*After registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. \nPLEASE NOTE: this webinar will be recorded and may be shared publicly.
