“Pricing and profitability are key.”

- Kizzy Parks

Kizzy Parks knows a little something about securing government contracts.

In fact, she’s landed over $50 million in government contracts — and also runs three separate consulting companies.

Through her business GovCon Winners, she teaches service-based small business owners how to secure their own government contracts, using her powerful CTC technique.

If you’ve ever considered bidding on a government contract, you’re going to want to listen to this week’s episode of The Road to Seven first!

Kizzy and I dive deep on pricing, profitability, and the psychology and preparation behind nailing the perfect pitch. Press play to get started!

In‌ ‌this‌ ‌episode of the Road to Seven podcast,‌ ‌you’ll discover:‌ ‌

  • The psychological reasons for incorporating your company when seeking government contracts
  • What to take into account when determining your pricing — and how to approach the pitch
  • How Kizzy grew from a single government contract to $50 million and 3 consulting businesses
