About this episode

Most small businesses are doing government contracting completely wrong—and it's costing them months of time, thousands of dollars, and contracts they should already have. In this live recap, Eric breaks down the 5 moves that separate winners from everyone else in 2026—without the "spray and pray" approach, without waiting on RFPs, and without wasting your life refreshing SAM.gov. This episode is a condensed bootcamp breakdown of what Eric taught during an 8-hour training—compressed into a fast, actionable playbook.

You'll learn how to target the right agencies, uncover real agency pain points, use AI prompts to gain an edge, find low-competition opportunities using the Hit List Method, and tap into the expiring contracts "honeypot" so you can get positioned early—either as a prime, a sub, or part of the winning team before the recompete drops. Key Takeaways: Target, don't chase. Pick 3 agencies and focus—spraying opportunities is why most contractors lose.

Solve problems, not sell services. Agencies award contracts to businesses that speak to their pain points, not their features. Expiring contracts = hidden gold.

Recompetes let you get in early—before the real competition shows up. If you want to learn more about the community
