Tangling With an Octopus: Working at the Department of Homeland Security
By Ambika Behal

Purchasing officers at the 2-year old octopus that is the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), a consolidation of 22 different governmental agencies with 35 new offices, are ready to do business in the Baltimore-Washington corridor. But actually getting work out of that tangle of tentacles is challenging, say those who have tried.

"More people give up, rather than keep going," said Gloria Berthold, CEO of TargetGov.tv in Elkridge, a firm that helps other businesses connect with the government.

What is TargetGov?

TargetGov is the first comprehensive resource that gives your company the tools and the guidance to locate and contact the correct government buyers for your category of product or service. The Government Buyers Guide combines federal, state, county and municipal agencies in one easy-to-search Guide.

In 30 seconds you can locate thousands of specific people and agencies - those people who buy what you sell. Why spend hundreds of hours researching the Internet for old, outdated information? Spend your valuable time actually contacting the people who buy what you sell, not looking for them.

We are here to help you develop an effective marketing process to increase your sales to all levels of government agencies. You can use this invaluable information to operate just like the most successful contractors do: both inside and outside of the formal bidding and RFP process. Not sure what this is about? Sign up for our e-newsletter for tips and techniques to market effectively to the government.

At the heart of TargetGov is the world's first Government Buyers Guide, an exclusive directory of the people in government responsible for purchasing specific categories of products and services. These government buyers, purchasing agents and procurement personnel are at the federal, state, county, and even municipal levels.

Subscribing to TargetGov gives you access to the names, titles, phone and fax numbers and addresses-even email addresses-of thousands of individuals responsible for purchasing every conceivable product or service for thousands of government agencies!

And the Government Buyers Guide is updated constantly, to ensure that the list of qualified buyers is exhaustive, and as accurate as possible.

But TargetGov is more than a unique directory. We also give you a full suite of tools for contact and follow-up, as well as plenty of guidance about how to do it effectively.
