Improve Your Business Environment with Proactive Local Government Monitoring

When you engage with local elected officials and the local political process, you get the chance to shape the business environment.

You help create the conditions for your success and can automatically put yourself five steps ahead of your competitors.

Protect Your Market Position

When you build a process for staying on top of local politics, you position yourself to seize more opportunities and prevent changes to local laws that could disrupt your operations.

We call that process gathering civic intelligence. Use it to:

  • Advocate for policies that benefit your industry

  • Prevent or limit the impact of policies that could disrupt your operations

  • Build goodwill with elected officials and consumers by supporting key issues that align with company values (environmental, social, economic, etc.)

Civic intelligence is one of the most overlooked sources of leads and opportunities in the modern business environment: 

  • Commercial and residential developments come before local leaders for approval before they’ve lined up any contractors

  • Municipal leaders foreshadow future high-dollar procurement and facilities needs before releasing RFPs

  • City and county staff members announce research projects that indicate future legislative priorities months in advance

  • Small communities discuss ongoing needs that provide excellent opportunities for businesses to lend their expertise and build goodwill

  • Removing barriers for entering new areas of operations or business services

  • Making it financially viable to enter new markets

By staying in the know with actionable municipal information and proactively getting involved in local issues, you can create millions of dollars in value. Fall behind, and your competitors might eat your lunch.
