Is your marketing to government broken?

Colorado PTAC (Procurement Technical Assistance Center) is a nonprofit organization providing no-cost services to Colorado businesses that are pursuing government contracts. They educate and assist any size Colorado business to do business with any level of government (federal, state, local). Marketing to government buyers, finding their requirement users, and knowing the decision makers is different than commercial marketing. PTAC Executive Director, Ken Knapp, will address the best and worst marketing approaches for businesses to use with government organizations.
