Mastering Government Sales: Unleash Success with 1-1 Networking
Streamlining Government Procurement: The Role of Personal Connections
In navigating the intricate landscape of selling to local and central UK government entities, building personal connections and capitalising on tailored programmes are indispensable strategies. Here, we delve into the transformative power of 1-1 meetings and hosted buyer programmes, spotlighting GovNet's role in facilitating these interactions for private sector companies.
Unlocking Opportunities Through 1-1 Meetings
The significance of personal connections in government procurement cannot be overstated. Research underscores that face-to-face interactions dramatically enhance the likelihood of securing contracts. According to Harvard Business Review, face-to-face requests are 34 times more successful than those made via email. Furthermore, companies engaging in direct meetings experience a remarkable 40% conversion rate, compared to a mere 16% for digital communication alone (Source: HubSpot).
