So what happens when you need the inside dirt on how to navigate government contracting. Not that how-to b/s we all spew, but the real inside scoop, the real deets! You go to a guy like Rafael. He is a true small business guru, he is truly a procurement navigator. Lots of people can teach you procurement as a small business owner and gov contractor themselves, but few can teach you from both sides of the industry. Rafael launched Gambit Services to fill that missing piece in small business development and government contracting. He teaches how we can all be equity advocates in the collaborative economy and achieve our business and financial goals, ethically and successfully.

Alex and Will are two of five partners at 3BR Distillery. They discuss the importance and value of selecting the right people to build partnerships with. They give us a prime example of that importance as Alex turns the mic over to Will and Will discuss the importance of efficency within a small business such as 3BR. Alex built the brand through a fantastic story of his grandfather, he oversees the production of existing and new products, but he can't do everything. Partnerships are vital to a small business' operation and Alex puts it in plain language and through example. Each partner has a role, that role only supports the path to success.

We are advocates of supporting and collaborating with small businesses and entrepreneurs. We are always looking for ways to work together and build something bigger than us. This is the first of several videos from an event we worked on with Amber Hamlett, founder of Hamlett Consulting and Glamour in Amber, along with Renee Esposito founder and owner of Renee and Sole Mates (located in the Ocean Casino Resort, Atlantic City). This was the first event we worked on with Amber and it was a rousing success. Because it was an intimate, internally marketed event at the casino, we did not expect more than 50 attendees. That was an underestimation. Right before the opening of the event we had to request additional chairs for our everyone. Close to 100 people were in attendance. This is what collaborative marketing can do. The casino launched their own internal marketing campaign, which reached thousands of their customers. Glamour In Amber and the ProcurementCon team (Black Ink) launched their own invite only campaign. Working together we not only had hotel guests, but small business owners, influencers, and the press attend. This is the beginning of an ongoing relationship between Amber and our team as we develop our Dress for Success Fashion Show series which will premiere at our Monmouth Ocean BizCon on March 11th 2024.
