You are asking for help in a very specific field, in a specific place (I assume). However there is no information about location or experience on your profile.

Provide some more information please.

Once you get those contracts, who do you have to review them? Visit this site at: www.smallbiztoolbox.info and click on the "watch movie" link. This has helped thousands of small
businesses like yourself that are just starting out.

Good Luck.

Hi ..this is a response to Danieloni. I just want to know how's everything, did you already get a contract? I have the same problem. We were unable to bid for govt contracts because it's a requirement to be in business for at least 3 years. We target nursing homes and group homes, assisted living but still unsuccessful. We have 1 contract for on calls but they haven't called us since they signed the contract. We have a nursing home that signs the contract only on as needed basis. We are based here in Washington State.

I am new to this site and I am glad that I found it. Those marketing strategies would be very helpful.

You really need to develop your presence among staffing directors of hospitals. They are ther ones that know the staffing needs of the hospitals. Call, call, call, visit if you cas much as you can. Deliver your goodies (brochures, little gift baskets) in person to the staffing directors. That is where your business is. It is a lot of hard work and making your presence in their minds to give your service a try. Also, make sure that your fees/charges are competitive or even a little less than your competition. Show your prospective clients samples of resumes of your nurses, for them to develop confidence in your workforce.

Once you grow your business, contact me at hrphils@yahoo.com and I will provide you with Philippine nurses, highly qualified, hihgly professional, terrific work ethics, wonderful bedside manners, hardworking, and very caring to their patients.

Wishing you the best!
