BUILD CORPORATE READINESS
Diverse Suppliers Belong at the Table. We Help You Finally Take Your Seat.
We teach diverse-owned business across the Midwest and nationwide how to strengthen and secure supplier contracts. Follow our process to learn how corporate contracts are closer than you may think.
THE NEED
Corporate contracts aren’t impossible, but the approach most suppliers are using isn’t working.
Why? Because readiness matters more than desire. Major companies like Ford and Merck already spend billions with small and diverse-owned businesses, but they choose suppliers who understand the process, requirements, and strategy behind procurement.
We help you move from “hoping to get in” to “ready to win.”
Did You Know?
Most small and diverse suppliers want to work with major corporations, but few know how to actually get in the door.
THE OPPORTUNITY
Corporations are already investing in diverse suppliers.
This isn’t a niche program. It’s a multi-billion-dollar opportunity. The real question is: Are you positioned to be one of them?
85% of Fortune 500 companies
have a supplier diversity program in place
70% of organizations
say supplier diversity is a “high or medium priority”

THE FRUSTRATION
Why You’re Not Getting Through (Yet)
If you’ve been trying to break into corporate supply chains, you already know the struggle—and it’s not because your business isn’t good enough. It’s because you’ve been taught to chase visibility instead of readiness. Do these sound familiar?
You’ve emailed supplier diversity or procurement and never heard back.
You’ve attended conferences but walk away with handshakes instead of contracts.
You’ve submitted capability statements you never got feedback on.
You’ve cold-called corporate buyers or senior leaders hoping for a meeting.
You’ve gotten on a supplier list, but never got an actual opportunity.
The problem isn’t your effort. The problem is the process.
You don’t need to be bigger. You need to be positioned. That’s where we come in.
