The NSW Small Business Commission has today launched a new online course, Winning Business, aimed at helping small businesses learn how to bid for contracts and improve their business pitch.

The course covers:

  • Getting your business ready for contracting
  • Understanding your customer
  • Preparing your business pitch
  • Building a simple business proposal, including pricing and understanding risk
  • Getting the customer to agree with your proposal
  • Making a success of a contract with a new customer.

You can register for the course now and return at any time to complete it.

Winning Business is a companion to the Selling to the NSW Government program, which offers guides and a free online course to help small businesses sell goods and services to the State government.
