Meet Your Instructor, Ashley Duwel

I've spent years in the trenches of federal contracting, and SAM registration is one of those things I've done hundreds — now thousands — of times. I've optimized SAM and SBA profiles for contractors across industries, caught the errors that were quietly costing businesses their small business status, and watched what happens when the details are done right. I built this course because most of what's out there is either outdated, incomplete, or written for someone who already knows the system. This one isn't. Let's get you registered correctly the first time.
