The event, presented by the Missouri Small Business Development Center, provided Clarke and other Missouri small-business owners with the chance to meet legislators and discuss their products and services.
Procurement Technical Assistance Centers focus on helping business owners earn government contracts to build their businesses.
DTS' Clarke contacted Bill Stuby, a Columbia-based PTAC procurement specialist, to find potential client leads just a month after he bought Digital Transcription Services in 2004.
Since that time, Clarke has been successful in his efforts to gain government contracts. For example, he has three five-year contracts from the federal Veterans Administration for medical transcription services: a $300,000 award from the VA's medical center in Altoona, Pa.; a $900,000 contract with the center in Marion, Ill.; and a $500,000 contract agreement with the VA facility in Poplar Bluff.
In addition, PTAC and Stuby have alerted DTS to other VA requests for bid on medical transcription services.
“They know specific people that can help, and they have a number of good ideas that might help grow your business,” said Clarke of the Missouri PTAC, in a news release. The Missouri PTAC is part of the University of Missouri Extension Small Business Development Centers program.
During the breakfast today, Clarke and other participating business owners were recognized for their contributions to economic development in Missouri.
