Cracking the code of the state and local government market

Top 5 questions we get from industry leaders:

  • How can my company be better at selling to state and local government?
  • How can I quickly get my team proficient with the critical fundamentals to consistently win business in this market?
  • What’s the best way to sell to chief information officers?
  • What procurement vehicles and channel strategies are right for my company?
  • How do I capitalize on state and local trends to best position my company’s products and services?

We are excited to announce a new program that answers these questions, and more!

The Center for Digital Government has distilled decades of front-line experience and brought together their top market experts and former public-sector practitioners to create a new, powerful initiative that will accelerate your team’s state and local market success.

This is your invitation to join e.Republic CEO, Cathilea Robinett on April 21st for a special 30-minute briefing where you’ll learn how this new program will give you and your organization the knowledge you need to successfully work with the public sector.
