He also goes further in depth into how you can best communicate what your business does when it appears on government platforms such as the Dynamic Small Business Search. DSBS is one of the tools contracting officers use to identify small business contractors for upcoming contracting opportunities. After the recording of this video, the DSBS changed its url to https://web.sba.gov/pro-net/search/dsp_dsbs.cfm
Furthermore, Alexander discusses the importance of the GSA Schedule, OSDBU's, subcontracting directories, and networking/education events to market your company.
