MySBX is the first resource in the government-procurement arena that has actually offered me value. I get lots of emails every week from companies offering to help me land a government contract--but they charge a lot of money. I treat their email as spam. Your email and Webinar service have been added to my "Trusted Vendor" email filter.

I joined mySBX last week as an additional marketing venue for highlighting my 30 years experience in marketing through the use of promotional products - executive gifts, marketing tools, customized wearables, trade show giveaways, etc. Within a week I had my first order from a business who saw my company profile on mySBX. What a great way to help small, solid businesses like mine find new clients and develop new relationships. mySBX has opened up an entirely new network of businesses for us to help.

mySBX provides the tool for companies of all sized to vet, validate and connect with each other. Too often small businesses spend enormous amounts of time just proving themselves to existing prime contractors and large system integrators. mySBX is not necessarily a social network, but rather a resource for potential teaming partners and customers to search and verify claims of small businesses. I see a bright future as mySBX evolves into an industry changing instrument. I’m glad to be an early adopter. I get many requests for a variety of social and business related social network tools, but often ignore most of them. mySBX is on to something and it can be big.

It’s great to see a company like Lockheed adopting a tool like mySBX to help identify and establish a dialog with small businesses. mySBX fills a previously unmet niche in the government contracting space, and with continued growth will become an even more valuable tool that companies can use to share opportunities and resources. More importantly, because mySBX promotes the web 2.0 principles of communication and collaboration to bring interested parties together, the efficiency of teaming process is greatly improved over traditional databases like the CCR and Suppliernet.
