Intro to doing Business with NYC DOE As a Non-Contracted Vendor

This event is organized by Marie Saint-Cyr, a prime vendor for NYC DOE.

To engage in business with New York City's public schools, it is crucial to understand the organizational framework and operational procedures of the NYC Public Schools.

During this two-hour session, I will briefly outline the strategies I employed as the CEO of Saint-Cyr Art Studio to elevate my mural company's revenue from $50,000 to over $1,000,000 within a three-year period. This growth was achieved by directly marketing to NYC public school principals as a non-contracted vendor, thus avoiding the MTAC requirements and the RFP/Bid process.

This event is particularly beneficial for companies looking to provide products to New York City public schools, minority and women-owned business enterprises aiming to sell to these institutions, as well as businesses offering products or services and those seeking purchase orders between $1,000 and $25,000.

Topics to be discussed include an overview of the NYC DOE, effective sales and outreach strategies, pricing for services and products, and financial considerations.
