In this episode, we will be discussing how Social Media tools are slowly making their way to federal, state & local government agencies and personnel.  For 2012 and beyond, those businesses with the advantage will be the ones already effectively using Social Media tools, with the relationships and proven experience.  However, new-comers can still capture government dollars by using these tools, partnering with the primes and teaming with other small businesses, while simultaneously working on building relationships at the government level.  In this episode, we will discuss these strategies and more!

In-sourcing is going to have an enormous impact on small businesses including major impacts to some of the smallest SB categories. The conversion of contractor positions to civil servant positions will take place in earnest over the next two to three years, as current contracts expire. The Obama administration has made it clear that the federal government needs to reevaluate when it is appropriate to outsource and use contractors - in the name of job creation; but is the collateral impact to Small Business an acceptable unintended consequence - at a time when Small Business is expected to grow our Economy out of the current recession?
