Go to the Matchmaker web site to learn more.  Look at the list of the prime contractors.  These are the businesses to which you will market.  Visit their websites for more information.  Check the council website often as the list of primes will grow.

Do some more market research to know as much about the prospective customer as possible.  Once again, the websites for each prime contractor are the best source to determine whether they might be candidates for your service or product.  Remember, use your time wisely!

Important!  Prepare some good marketing materials.  A brochure and card is fine.  No bulky notebooks or samples.  Also, make sure your website is up to date before giving out the address.
