Finally, be very careful about whom you choose to represent you. There are many unlicensed practitioners and firms that rely on high-pressure sales agents to close deals. I do wish VillageWomen the best of luck, but let's focus on some intelligent women-oriented companies for a change. We are already paying for those sites as taxpayers, and advertisers, for their own sake, should be very cautious in dealing with government entities in a commercial endeavor. The troubling part of the government and commercial partnership is that the two are as incompatible as capitalism and communism.
Government agencies are there because they have been given appropriations to exist.
There are no quality controls or accountability efforts. I survived two contracts to market real estate assets for the U.S. Small Business Administration. The government staff I encountered at the SBA was only busy figuring out how to squelch opportunity. The private sector is motivated by profits. Furthermore, the ultimate use of government data should be for assistance to citizens.
