Today we are kicking off our ninth year of supporting Business Matchmaking – think of it as speed dating for your business with representatives from government agencies and many Fortune 500 companies that have contracts for goods and services. In fact, HP not only supports Business Matchmaking, but we also send members from our Supplier Diversity team with contracts to be filled.
Skeptical if this can really boost your business? Here’s some compelling statistics: in the last nine years, Business Matchmaking has enabled more than 80,000 small business sales appointments resulting in over 8 billion dollars in contracts granted. The best part? All events are free to both participating small businesses and representative buyers. You have nothing to lose and potentially a lot to gain.
Here’s the list of cities where you can get involved in Business Matchmaking regional events for 2012:
— Santa Clara, Calif., on Feb. 23
— Houston on April 12
— Chicago on May 16
— Philadelphia on Aug. 18
