Kudos to MySBX

Great concept!  We started our consulting company over 10 years ago, and have been fighting an uphill battle trying to get in front of the Prime Contractors.  It's been the old, "It's who you know" that has brought our opportunities.  When we joined the 8(a) program, we were hoping that might provide some new exposure - we were disappointed.  The 8(a) program administrators are very good at administering the program, but it's always been up to us to find our own work. 

One of our current customers (Lockheed) pointed us in the direction of MySBX, and while we're new to the community, I can already see a great benefit. 

My fellow employees and I were just discussing the importance of Social Networking for companies, and how we need to get our experience in front of others (as well as learn more from others).  I can see MySBX playing a pivotal role in that regard. 

I'm not certain how many contracts will result from our involvement, but I do know it provides a Fantastic forum to network with other small businesses (and large as well).

Great job, and I look forward to seeing the community grow.

I know what you mean about

I know what you mean about trying to get in front of and get work from the big boys. I'm still trying to figure out the layout of this site, but hopefully it will prove to be a useful tool. I was a little disappointed after seeing the posting about lockheed martin using this site, then filling out a profile here, and then following the link to lockheed's site, just to find the standard "file this out if you want to do business with us" uggghh There are so many different tools out there now, you could do nothing all day but fill out online profiles.
