EP 46 Matchmaking Madness

GovCon matchmaking sessions. Some swear by them. Others avoid them like a bad coffee date. So which is it? Strategic goldmine or calendar clutter? In this episode of Tan’s Two Cents, host Tan Wilson welcomes the always bold and brilliantly blunt Stephanie Alexander, Partner and Co-Founder of GovMates and BOOST LLC. Tan has her reservations about the value of matchmaking events. Stephanie and her team lean all the way in and make them work. Together, they explore both sides of the debate with wit, honesty, and plenty of practical insight. The conversation begins with a hilarious airport survival scenario that sets the tone for a lively, unfiltered chat. From there, Tan and Stephanie dig into why so many people walk away from these events feeling deflated, what attendees often get wrong, and how to actually walk in with a plan and walk out with momentum. Stephanie shares behind-the-scenes prep strategies, tips for standing out in a sea of small businesses, and the critical importance of follow-up. The matchmaking session isn’t the finish line. It is just the introduction. Tan also throws down a friendly challenge to see if Stephanie can change her mind about whether these sessions are worth the effort. Whether you are a networking natural or a matchmaking skeptic, this episode delivers fresh perspective, sharp humor, and plenty of tactical takeaways. Key takeaways: ✔ Prep isn’t optional. It is essential. ✔ Matchmaking won’t land you a contract, but it can open a door. ✔ Your follow-up game determines your outcome. ✔ Know your audience, respect their time, and make your ask clear. If you have ever left a matchmaking event wondering what just happened, this episode is your reality check and your roadmap. #GovCon #Tanstwocents #Entellectuals #Entellect #Tanwilson   / tanstwocents
