Before You Book a Call —PLEASE READ...
This is not a sales call. It’s a short conversation to decide whether working together makes sense.
If you want to just meet to get to know each other for referrals or personal reasons, please send me an email (nikki@nikkigianni.com), LinkedIn message (https://linkedin.com/in/nikkigianni), or schedule a Coffee Talk to connect.
I help established professional services, construction, and trades businesses pursue government contracts without the red tape taking over their business.
That means:
You’re already operating
You have past performance
You can handle more work without blowing things up
You’re prepared to invest in yourself and your business for hands-on pursuit support from me
If you’re:
Just exploring
Hoping government work fixes cash flow fast
Not in a position to invest yet
This probably isn’t the right time. I hold a free Q&A session every Friday at noon PST, go here to register: https://govconarchitect.com/ko-confidential
If you are ready, answer the "Learn About" questions I send you honestly after you book a time.
If it’s a fit, I’ll tell you and/or you can tell me.
If it’s not, I’ll tell you that too.
Thanks, Nikki

Nikki Gianni is the advisor I didn't know I needed. She identified gaps I hadn't considered: applying for SDVOSB certification, the mechanics of mentor-protégé agreements, how to target the correct audience, and the real-world shift happening inside the 8(a) and WOSB landscape. This isn't generic advice, it's the kind of insight that only comes from someone who's actually sat on the government side of the table.

Nikki was instrumental in helping me successfully register my business in SAM.gov and get fully activated to pursue federal contracts. What initially felt overwhelming became a clear, step-by-step process thanks to her guidance. She is extremely knowledgeable, responsive, and practical — no fluff, just exactly what needs to be done and in what order. Her experience with government contracting shows immediately, and she kept me moving forward confidently at every stage. This was a major milestone for my business, and it genuinely would not have happened without Nikki’s help. If you’re a small business owner looking to break into government contracting, I can’t recommend her highly enough.

I'm so grateful for my call with Nikki last week! I was feeling lost in my journey to landing more government contracts, and I was tired of (figuratively) throwing things at the wall. So I got with Nikki, and in a short amount of time, she was able to impart such a great deal of knowledge and give clear direction. No vague or generic guidance that I could find myself, but rather concrete action steps based on her decades of experience. Highly recommend connecting with her if you too are seeking to secure more contracts!

Since working with Coach Nikki for less than a year so far, I am happy to say that she has breathed new life and fire and direction into my struggling translation business, since things really slowed down for me during Covid! Nikki is fierce and always fighting for your success, but always kind, flexible and extremely generous with her time and wealth of business expertise and resources! I have greatly expanded my business knowledge with her very practical business profitability classes. I am excited to continue to partner with a seasoned coach who always goes out of her way to give you her best and challenge you to stretch towards personal and business excellence.
