Hi

I would like to recommend that you become extremely Googleable.

What does this mean?

This means that when someone types your name or your companies name in Google - you will 'own' those first few pages of Google.

It is very natural behavior for us today to 'Google' a new companies name when we hear it. Many times the results that Google will give us - will also give us some indication about this company.

How do you become Googleable?

By putting your self out there in Social media! ( the results show up in Google..)
Be active in forums, article directories and social networks.

My brand new Super Website Marketing Handbook is the complete guide on how to do it!

All I can say is IMAGE IS EVERYTHING. We deal with businesses all day, every day and one thing that alot of small businesses have in common is that they don't realize that LOOKING BIG is not far out of reach. Your marketing materials (ie, business cards, brochures, sales sheets) have to look like you know what you're talking about and look like you spent time and money on them.

Alot of bigger print services offer templates that you'll find every "Joe Small Business Owner" ordering. No kidding, I went into this local restaurant that allowed business patrons to put their cards in for others to hopefully pick up. WHY did I see 5 businesses with the same card design??? I don't know if it's the thought that spending a few dollars on getting a custom business card or marketing promotion made is going to break the budget, or if it's just that people are in such a rush to make money that they take the path of least resistance---which would be the dreaded do it yourself business card. Whether home printed on an inkjet or publicly available templates that you and millions of others in the world will have.

Doing it yourself works when you're a graphic designer, but the honest truth is, if you're not--stay in your lane and let the professionals create eye-catching PROFESSIONAL designs that speak of your business. Never forget that YOU ARE YOUR BUSINESS & YOUR BUSINESS IS YOU.

That said, visit http://www.businesscardplanet.com for custom graphic design and lower printing prices than the cookie cutter shops. You will get Expensive Big Business Printing and Design for the small business man's price.

I would say, start with a very nice on-line Web site. People think I'm loaded and doing nothing but jet-set and rub shoulders with the stars all the time. Little do most know I have really a day job and do my jewelry at night and weekends.

On the procurement side,many companies have a small business program and/or a diversity program. Go to the procurement team to understand the policies.This will position you well against larger companies especially if your value proposition is better and/or on par with the larger competitor.
Also,utilize any references you have or networks. People fear dealing with those they do not know. If you have a reference in the vertical market your company is in , that is a big plus. Contacts and networks open doors.
Make sure you are dealing with the real decision maker. Don't fallfor someone who claims to have ownership.Ask how a decision will me made and what is the decision criteria. In most large companies, finaldecisions are blessed off at a very high level.
Let me know if I can help!

I wish I could say that I have the answer. I do not, and I believe the day that persons view my company as a medium business or corporate entity might be the day that I am in process to move into those shoes.

For now I will stay small, and focus the needs of efforts outside of my present capabilities on partner companies.

Good post!
