The Bottom Line
Supplier contracts with Fortune 500 companies can propel small firms to the next level. Of course, it isn’t easy to win a contract with a big company.
The process requires you to learn how to highlight your skills in a manner that gives the buyer the confidence to deal with you.
However, if you do manage to get your firm on the approved list of suppliers of a giant corporation, it could be the beginning of a new phase of growth for your business.
Give it your best effort, and remember to be patient. If you are successful in winning a contract from a Fortune 500 company, the rewards can be tremendous.
