Don’t Leave Money on the Table. Get Certified! | S2: Ep7

Tune in today for our Seventh Episode of Season 2 when Petula Sankarsingh, VisionReady CEO and Disrupt Your Day Host, chats with Liz Coalts, Owner of The Anxious Adult, LLC helping smart and overwhelmed adults manage the anxieties of business and life. "Let me help you manage the logistics of your business so you can focus on the parts you love," is her business tagline. As an experienced vendor and contract manager working in the public sector for over 15 years, Liz has deep perspective on the challenges that diverse owned businesses face in trying to level the playing field for equal access to contracts. "For private corporations, change has to happen from within," says Coalts. "They need to understand that they should be trying to diversify their supply chain and give more opportunities to small businesses owned by minorities, women, LGBTQ, disabled veterans, and other diverse segments of the population." Liz encourages small businesses to take advantage of the fact that local governments have been mandated for some time now to diversify their supply chain. The key for a business to gain an edge over the competition is by becoming certified. "Although the procurement would be an open call, most public agencies and some private corporations prefer to work with companies that are certified in at least one diverse category in order to meet the agencies’ diversity goals," points out Coalts. "Being certified makes you the preferred vendor in any opportunity. When the competition gets heated, you need every advantage you can get!"~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 🤙 If you want a free 30-minute Business Strategy call on how to build your brand and take your business to the next level, schedule a call with us: https://diverse.visionready.org/strategy 🔗 Join the conversation on social media: https://twitter.com/VisionReadyInc https://www.facebook.com/VisionReadyInc www.instagram.com/visionreadyhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/visionready 📺 Subscribe to our YouTube Channels: Disrupt Your Day: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoDXw2bcMzqPJ486aSFJ0hQ VisionReady Network: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS0-qIuOWuQNgzhHepXb83A  📰 Stay updated by subscribing to our newsletter: https://diverse.visionready.org/newsletter You're only one connection away from success.
