How To Do Business With The U.S. Department Of The Interior?

On Wednesday Februrary 11th, 2009 at 9:00 AM EST located in College Park, Georgia (Atlanta Metro Area), the U.S. Department of Interior held the first of a series of Workshops that will cover three other Cities including the Washington D. C. Area. This one day event, starting with registration at 8:30 AM and lasting to 4:00 PM was held at the Georgia International Convention Center on 2000 Convention Center Concourse. It was sponsored by the Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization or ("OSDBU").


One of the featured Speakers and a person proactive throughout the workshop was Mark Oliver Director of the Office of Small & Disadvantaged Business Utilization. The purpose of this workshop was to inform Small Business(es) that there is approximately 7 Billion Dollars that may be set aside for the U.S. Department of the Interior regarding the Stimulus Package and this is our opportunity to win Prime Contracts or Subcontracts with this organization.


The mission statement of the OSDBU is stated, "The Office provides outreach and assistance for procurement and contracting opportunities to small, small disadvantaged, women-owned, service disabled and veteran-owned businesses and businesses located in Historically Underutilized Business Zones (HUBZone) areas and guidance to the Interior's contracting and management officials on small business".


This unique workshop in our opinion is a real sign that the Federal Government wants to reach out to Small Business to help save the U.S. Economy and the World. For out of the nine (9) inner offices (Bureau of Indian Affiars (BIA), Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Bureau of Reclamation (BOR), U.S. Fish & Wildlife Services (FWS), Minerals Management Service (MMS), National Business Center (NBC), National Park Service (NPS), Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSM) and U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)) representatives were present whether it was the Director from Washington D.C. we mentioned earlier himself.


So, if you ask where to start, do the following: 1) Register in CCR.gov to become eligible to participate and receive a CAGE Code. 2) Get in touch with the Small Business Administration. 3) Get Educated and get involved.


We personally hung out with Mr. Dannie James, a former Georgia Tech. - GTPAC Officer who currently serves as President of JE Consultant Group LLC and Government Business Consultant Inc. or a Consultant to Small, Medium and Large Business(es) regarding Government Contracting. Our purpose for doing this very thing was to educate ourselves and gain major insight on the Government Contracting Process.


Why, well because Broadcasting Interest Enterprise, Inc. is a Minority Owned, HUDZone Certified, Veteran Owned and Small Business.

What is Social Engineering?

Part 1 On A Series Of Industrial Espionage And Business Intelligence
By Broadcasting Interest Enterprise, Inc.

According to the National Cyber Alert System Cyber Security Tip ST04-014,
To launch a social engineering attack, an attacker uses human interaction (social skills) to obtain or compromise information about an organization or its computer systems.

http://www.us-cert.gov/cas/tips/ST04-014.html

First,let us state, that this is a definition Individuals and Business Owners should become familiar with during the Advancement of Information Technology.

Social Engineering is what? Well, in our understanding - to go along with what was stated above, social engineering is when someone suspects you of something or the possession of some knowledge they are seeking; they purposely take an indirect approach to obtain information from you that you are unaware of parting with in almost a masterful plot or scheme. That is a pretty long definition, but if you don't understand now - when it happens to you...this description and many others will ring true.

Are you scared? Don't be. Why? Well, because you have probably utilized social engineering in your lifetime in one aspect or another to obtain information yourself.

Knowledge is definitely power, but wisdom with what one knows is better.
Basically, Social Engineering can be utilized for good or evil.
There are many forms of this practice and probably a number of techniques too lengthy for us to discuss in this blog.

We are introducing this terminology, technique, practice and possible standard by those individuals who primary objective is to gather information secretly, steal or even worse destroy your creditability through Identification Theft, to simply make you aware.

"Know what you are getting into, before you get into it".

RePrint:Online Positive Profile Identification, Is It A Money Maker Or A Money Taker?

Broadcasting Interest Enterprise, Inc. ("BIE")
Click Below & Take A Quick Poll Sponsored By BIE,Inc.
http://polls.linkedin.com/p/16521/mgoos

Print Date 1/14/09

In approximately seven days, history will be made regardless of race, creed or religion in the United States. That event is the inauguration of the next President of the United States. However, this particular President-Elect will not only be unique, but suggest a sign of the times.

Fore, he would be sworn in as Commander and Chief partially as a result of people who are reading this very discussion.

Some of the readers here, might have supported the President-Elect by viewing his profile on the Internet.

Some of the readers here might have made contributions to his campaign through the Internet to support this President- Elect.

Even still, some of the readers here may have supported and gave contributions to other Candidates running for the highest office in the United States.

Furthermore, they may have equally viewed profiles of other Candidates as well. However, it is a fact, that this President-Elect had an Online Positive Profile identifying why he would be a great leader for America and the World to see.

So, I ask you today, having an Online Positive Profile Identification, is it a money maker when Companies, Contract Officials of Government Procurement and Individuals seek knowledge about you or your business via the Internet to make a lasting impression?

I think so due to modern technology, but what if you did not have an Online Positive Profile?

What if you had an Online Negative Profile or No Profile Online period?

My opinion is my opinion, its not even Broadcasting Interest Enterprise, Inc.'s opinion.

So, what do you think; is an Online Positive Profile Indentification a money maker or a money taker?

How Should Small Business Service Owners Deal With Banks That Charge Fees To Cash Checks?

In this economy, a Small Business Owner knows that every little thing counts. So, if they take a check received by the Client to the bank of the Client, it is expected to be good. However, this in itself is a risk, because the business person is relying on the "trust" of the individual or company they are doing business with at that moment.

But now, it is very frustrating when you go to a particular financial location and attempt to cash a $50.00 USD check or more of hard earned money to be charged $6.00 USD for making the transaction.

"Man & Woman! There ought to be a law against this...C. Henry, why don't you get with the 44th Prez. and tell him on his Blackberry about this type of robbery!"

This was pretty much a summed up statement of many comments I heard today over the telephone from one of the fellow Business Owners we know.

First, let me state clearly from the last to the first words in this conversation, as far as, I know, I don't have the 44th Prez. ear (He does not hear me or read my blogs) nor do we have his email address. So, please do not assume that...I'm just blogging here Secret Service no harm at all. LOL

Secondly, there is no federal law making banks cash checks or preventing banks from cashing your checks.

Click here and read it yourself:
http://www.helpwithmybank.gov/faqs/banking_check_cashing.html

The above URL is from the US Department of Treasury Website regarding the "Comptroller of the Currency Administrator of National Banks".

So, after reading that information, we decided to call (4) Banks randomly that I would like to continue doing business with in the near future.

Now, we know from experience, that how you carry yourself and approach people alone with the proper terminology, you will in fact open doors closed to many a person.
So, we devised a script to approach this issue with careful attention to detail, please read below:

A Script Use To Ascertain Information From (4) Randomly Chosen Banks:

" My name is _____ I would like to know does your bank policy allow me to cash a client's check without being charged. I do not have an account at your bank, but I have two forms of ID. Furthermore, I own ___ and was considering openning an account at your bank if I find it suites my needs. Since, I don't have an account at your bank, but a client of mine does, how much will it cost me to cash a check? "

Business Intelligence Gathered From The Four Banks:

{Disclaimer: This Information Can Not Nor Should Not Be Assumed As 100% Accurate Representation Of Any Of The Banking Institutions Observed. All Information Here Is Simply Observational & Purely Speculative. This Information Can Not Nor Will Not Be Confirmed Or Denied By Broadcasting Interest Enterprise, Inc. Or C. Henry Adams Or His Staff.}

List Of Randomly Called Bank Branch(es) & Name Of Person Who Served Us There:

1) Suntrust Bank
https://www.suntrust.com/portal/server.pt?space=CommunityPage&cached=true&parentname=CommunityPage&parentid=2&in_hi_userid=2&control=SetCommunity&CommunityID=1250&PageID=0
Peachtree Center
(404)524-1073
No charge with the proper Identification.
Name of Bank Contact: Jennifer
Note: An outside source stated that Suntrust just started charging a fee before 02/04/09 recently.

2) Wachovia Bank
http://wachovia.via.infonow.net/atmbranch/
CHATTAHOOCHEE FINANCIAL CENTER
Phone: (404)350-2940
Wachovia's Policy depends on the relationship it has with its Customer. But, if the check is over $50.00 USD you will be charge a $5.00 fee (This again is at their discretion). (Note: The allege comments apply if you are receiving money from your Client to you (A Person). If you are trying to cash a Business to Business Check, "No, this Bank will not cash the check period".
Name of Bank Contact: Latoya

3) Bank of America
http://locators.bankofamerica.com/locator/locator/LocatorAction.do
Bank Of America Marietta Street
35 Broad St. NW
404.893.8282 (Customer Service)
We tried (3) times to contact this particular branch to no avail.
Even though the phone automatically redirects the call to the "Call Center" this was not good enough for us.
Name of Bank Contact: N/A

4) BB&T
http://www.bbt.com/ebusns/locator/findLocation.do?command=new
Camp Creek
(404)346-2800
No charge with the proper Identification.
Name of Bank Contact: Amy


Nevertheless, who do we contact to address this issue about Banks charging Small Business Service Providers for cashing their Client's Check at their Client's Bank?

Should We Be Weary Of Data Mining Techniques Used To Gather Intelligence From Us On The Internet?

Lately, I have not been living up to the amusing side of my personality, because I had to literally cut out my attitude to fit within 2000 characters.

Someone said, "So what C. Henry, who cares".

Well, I guess you will care about this story when I finish telling it.

Why? Its about you. Someone said, "And how so, C. Henry?"

On the Internet you are never alone, you are constantly tracked and you constantly leave some sort of trail.

What is it that watches you?

Cookies and Special Tokens installed on your Computer or the Computers you utilized.

Someone said, "Well, I don't have a PC (Personal Computer), I have a PDA
(Personal Data Assistant)".

Not only are you tracked by where ever you go on the Internet, but you can be tracked by Antennas and Satellites when you carry the PDA.

Note: It's Marketing Research so don't panic.

According to the Author Harry Newton - The 22nd Edition of Newton's Telecom Dictionary page 280, data mining refers to using sophisticated data search capabilities that use statistical algorithms to discover patterns and correlations in data.

What!!!? Ok, there are Companies watching you on the Internet and calculating where we are going next while browsing the Internet, a result of data mining.


You don't believe me?

Well, if you frequent a web site where alot of ads are displayed, for the next seven days try this little non-scientific experiment.

Go only to a set number (Ex.Visit 4 Web Sites) of the same websites of major companies that week from Monday thru Friday.

Starting on Wednesday during that time, note 1 to 3 online ads displayed.
(Ex. If you goto Publix Supermarket Website, look for food related ads.)

Saturday, tally your findings and determine if we are correct.

Note: Your whereabouts are always tracked.

Why? Because you create a pattern.

But, don't believe us..study data mining yourself.

So, what do you think?

Should We Do Business With MLM Companies In This Economy?

We were asked by Individuals who supplemented their income by serving as MLM Agents to network with them. Well, our first impressions of MLM Agents are not good.
But, that is not utilizing tact and professionalism.
Is a MLM a franchise?
Yes, a MLM is partly a "franchise" and partly "direct marketing".
But, don't believe us- look it up Online with the URL below:

http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Multi-level+marketing

<< Below is an abridged copy of that definition found Online at the "thefreedictionary.com".>>

{Multi-level marketing is a business model that combines direct marketing with franchising. Multi-level marketing businesses function by recruiting salespeople to sell a product and offer additional sales commissions based on the sales of people recruited into their downline. This arrangement is similar to franchise arrangements where royalties are paid from the sales of individual franchise operations to the franchisor.

Legitimacy

Multi-level marketing has an image problem due to the fact that it is often difficult to distinguish MLMs from illegal pyramid schemes. MLM businesses operate in the United States and in more than 100 other countries, and may use a term like "home-based business franchising". However, many pyramid schemes try to present themselves as legitimate MLM.

[Some statements were copied from an article on Wikipedia® - the encyclopedia created and edited by online user community. The text was not checked. Although the majority of the Wikipedia® encyclopedia articles provide accurate information please do not assume the accuracy of any particular article. This article is distributed under the terms of GNU Free Documentation License.]}

We started to discredit MLM(s) altogether, instead we will not and let you be the judge. However, we will leave you with a link below and state,
"Be aware of what you get into before you get into it".
