In this episode Global Social Media Authority, Mass Publicity Influencer, International Entrepreneurial Philanthropist, the co-author of “New Success Secrets“,”L.E.G. Formula” and the host of Growth Hacking Show Muhammad Siddique interviews  Host at Contracting Officer Podcast Kevin Jans.

About the Guest:

I would rather learn about how I can help you, but you’re reading this to learn about me – so here goes.

I spent 16 years on the government side of government contracting. As a Contracting Officer, I bought or managed over $3 Billion in products and services for everything from R&D to aircraft to professional services. As a CO, I noticed that even though there are lots of resources for people trying to succeed in this market, many were still struggling.

Why?

In 2011, I figured it out: because they did not know what they did not know. They had plenty of CONTENT, but they did not have CONTEXT. My idea was to bring them that context by giving them the Contracting Officer’s perspective.

In 2011, I started building Skyway’s team of former COs and industry pros to fill that gap in context. The idea was that having the CO’s perspective would make our customers more prepared, more competitive, and more effective in this market.

It turns out I was right.

We spent the first 3 years helping companies win over 90% of the contracts (totaling over $1 Billion in contract revenue).

In 2014, we raised the bar again by creating the Contracting Officer Podcast. The CO Podcast is a free weekly podcast where we share our experience from both sides of the market. The CO Podcast currently has over 11,000 listens/month by people across the globe.

In 2015, we launched the Skyway Community to meet the increasing demand for our training, consulting, and CONTEXT in this market. The interactive Skyway Community gives members on-demand access to premium content, member-requested training, and as-needed consulting support from our team of former COs.

If this sounds like what you’re looking for, we’d love to hear from you at kevin@skywayacquisition.com or 877-884-5280. To save you time, you can schedule a time that works for you directly on my calendar at http://AskSkyway.com.

Have a great day (and congrats on reading through my entire bio!).

Kevin

DGE has since expanded to include industrial automation, cybersecurity, engineering, and technical writing. DGE has done business nationwide with the Air Force, Army, Department of Parks, Naval Research Laboratory, Air National Guard and other companies.

The business model has been to partner with bigger firms and team on projects to gain experience. Leveraging the training received from the 8(a) program, DGE foresees more DoD work coming from being a 100% WOSB in subsequent years and is on the GSA STARS II.

As an inventor, I am continually working on my latest invention, a compact, portable weather station called the WeatherEgg®.
