You’ll explore the core pillars of effective relationships—access, collaboration, visibility, and personal development—and learn why strong connections lead to warm referrals, faster problem-solving, and opportunities that never appear on public boards or listings.
The Guilford County Entrepreneur Resources Workshop shows you how to plug into a powerful network where more than 90% of support is free. You’ll explore startup foundations, mentoring programs, market-intelligence tools, funding engines, makerspaces, shared-use kitchens, accelerators, and procurement opportunities. You’ll also learn how agencies collaborate through warm introductions, ensuring you never hit a dead end as you grow your business.
The Request for Proposals (RFPs) & Contracts Workshop is designed to help small business owners confidently pursue—and win—contract opportunities. In this session, you’ll learn how to quickly evaluate whether an RFP is worth your time, understand how proposals are scored, and structure a competitive response that highlights your strengths. You’ll also explore pricing models that protect your margin and walk through the full RFP process from posting to award.
