Oct 29, 2024

Ethan Martin, a seasoned sales professional with 20 years in medical sales, recently ventured into government contracting consulting—successfully launching his business in just 45 days. His journey began when he discovered the GovClose program while searching for a new professional challenge. After diving into podcasts and videos, Ethan knew he’d found the perfect fit.

Why He Chose Government Contracting

With no prior experience in government contracting, Ethan initially hesitated. But Go Close’s thorough, engaging curriculum and supportive community quickly gave him the confidence he needed. The program was structured to be both intuitive and adaptable, allowing Ethan to progress at his own pace. Within 30-45 days, he had completed the certification and built a roadmap for his consulting business.

Building an Asset Through Learning

One highlight for Ethan was learning how to create a “sellable asset”—a reusable roadmap that he could apply to different clients. This roadmap proved essential for starting his consulting business, as it outlined the exact steps to help businesses secure government contracts.

Creating a Consulting Niche

The program also guided Ethan in defining his niche. With his background in medical sales, he realized he was well-positioned to assist small businesses entering government sales for the first time. Now, he focuses on business development, building roadmaps, and connecting businesses with lucrative government contracts.

The Value of Community and Coaching

Weekly coaching calls, ongoing support, and access to a network of professionals were invaluable. For Ethan, these resources provided insights he wouldn’t have gained alone and offered continuous guidance as he set up his LLC and started taking on clients.

What’s Next for Ethan

Ethan’s future is bright. With a clear roadmap and a network of support, he’s positioned to help small businesses navigate government contracts, especially in the medical sales field. Whether you’re considering a career change or adding a new skill set, Ethan’s story illustrates how impactful the right program can be.
