DoD Contract Academy

The US military is required to buy 23% of their products and services from small businesses. They buy everything from food and office supplies to landscaping, legal services and high end technology.

If you are selling it odds are the DoD and other federal agencies are buying it, and get this...

Less than 1% of small businesses sell to the US Military!

This is a huge opportunity for small business owners and the Academy will help you to start consistently selling to the US military and other federal agencies.

The DoD Contract Academy is a perfect fit for small business owners that want to start consistently selling to the US military and significantly increase their annual revenue.

Why DOD Contract Academy?

The US government is the single biggest purchaser of goods and services in the world, yet less than 1% of small businesses are selling to the federal customer base!

DoD Contract Academy gives you a step by step process that YOUR BUSINESS can put into action now and start winning 6-8 figure government contracts.

As a US military acquisitions officer I put companies on contract for the US government and managed those programs from start to finish.. 

I went on to personally sell products and services to various federal agencies  and have advised and trained over 400 companies to do the same. 

In other words, I've put companies on contract FOR the US government, I've sold products and services TO the US government and I've advised, trained and coached hundreds of small businesses on selling to the US government.

All total, I've been involved with over $80 Billion in US government contracts and that gives me a very unique perspective on what it takes to be successful.

We created DoD Contract Academy to give you the formula companies use to win contracts and avoid the mistakes that cost time, money and inevitably lead to failure.  

My students range from knowing nothing about the federal marketplace and just getting started to seasoned pros looking for the competitive advantage.

I’m ready to help YOU consistently win contracts with the US federal government and make a positive impact to US national security and the lives of our men and women in uniform.

No fancy hypotheticals or unrealistic expectations here: I know what it feels like to get into the nitty gritty details of the day-to-day federal sales process.

Everyone needs some help and advice along the way, and that’s why I’m here.  I have firsthand insight into what works for me and what I’ve seen work for others.

I’m here to pull back the curtain on what it really takes to WIN government contracts.
