We are so much more socially
inclined than ever before. From Spring
to Fall, we have every event imaginable going on, charity walks, beer and art festivals,
family sports events and all are there to promote something oh so special.
Promote for the NOW and for
Next year!
Digital Dialogue was borne
out what we do as a company to garner and glean attention. Social media is nothing new to us or the
technological understandings. After all,
we analyze this information for business clients every single day.
It was only natural to further our reach when our clients asked if we
could assist them in promoting and ensuring their social media interactions were reaching the right people cost
effectively.
So, we can coach and mentor your employees to use their “Fingers & Thumbs” more than
productively in creating the digital dialogue or words, graphics, and video to literally grab the attention of all in
seconds.
Social media creation is a mindset all of its own. Control of emotions
and the fingers and thumbs is so important for all companies, one wrong word
and you can have a tempest in a teacup. Shakespeare would have a field day with
Twitter & Facebook and his ‘Taming of the Shew’ or ‘Much ado about nothing’!
Let alone presidential tweets!
We offer you the hands-on ability to promote your event through social
media with a flow of pertinent information prior to, more social media interaction
during the event of both words, ‘interview shorts’ photographs, graphics, and video, with a combined
interaction with the public attendees being involved.
Allowing those attendees a vehicle to post comments,
photographs and the excitement which is captured in the moment and archived for
future events for promotional gain.
It is productivity perfection personified!

It's neigh-on a daily occurrence of someone somewhere using a car, van or truck as a weapon against someone.
Killing with a vehicle has become a normal heinous practice, YOU can STOP IT!
The hatred is boiling that the stream is visible by the conversational actions of those that are demented to act this way.
The PUBLIC, yes YOU, must be more aware and cognizant of conversations, mindset and home and workplace actions. There is always a starting point, no matter how small or innocuous it is.
Protecting each other, no matter what color, class or creed is a MUST!
The human race is failing in its communicative skills in protecting one another.
The police can only act on what they know and YOU MUST Inform of any possible conversation or action!

The so-called battle of the giants and 'little people' has begun.
Amazon has no idea of the power of local/regional collective supermarkets in the USA and the fight they have within.
There is a story of David and Goliath and we all know the outcome! All David had was a slingshot and a rock, today there is so much more that can bring the downfall of a giant!
It is all about the 'Art of the Possible' and melding the spoken word, (advertising), social media interaction and global know-how. Not just in 140 characters on Twitter or a Facebook posting, it is the extensive messaging of visual video that can know accompany these social media interactions with loyal and new customers/clients.
Years ago, I knew Mr. Jenkins who started Publix in Florida and can never forget his tenacity or his pinstriped Publix suit he wore each day made an impression on me. He was a grass root kinda guy, who had his finger on the button, knew his shoppers and was seen in many Publix stores daily. He knew nothing about social media as it had not hit any of us yet, he just knew people and their habits.
Common sense communications are still the basis of the 'art form of solid communication', although now, it is not with spoken words, it is with 'Fingers & Thumbs'!
The deforestation of grocery shopping by a slightly profitable Amazon has issued a challenge to all of us that shop at the grocery store.
Are we ready to become even lazier in how we live our lives? Or does walking the aisles of smiles with offer after offer, flashing LEDs and '2 for 1 bargains at the local grocery store, feel kinda objective to you? It should, it is feeding you to maintain your stress-free life!
The idea and concepts of online shopping are not new! In fact, I was home delivering back in 1963! Albeit on a delivery bicycle with a large basket on the front, I would bring the groceries to those in the village which they ordered by telephone. As a youngster, I expanded to the summer holiday season for those renting chalets to have their groceries there for their arrival. It was lucrative for the family supermarket and for me understanding a business model.
Grocery 'peddle power', so to speak!
Online grocery shopping has been tried for over twenty years by Sainsbury's & Tesco in the U.K., some success but not what was expected.
This is not a 'fresh idea' and that is where the issues lie!
FRESH!
Shoppers want fresh vegetables, bread, meat, and fish, dry ice packed in a container does keep products or the produce fresh. So that is just one side of the spoils of grocery shopping online.
CommSmart Global Group's marketing and social attribute skills are more than just logic, they are grounded in life. Technology or progress is not to be feared when there are those that can lead, explain and implement the necessary steps for success in a down-to-earth conversational manner.
The only negative is time and procrastination. Once those fears are quickly removed and resolved, then the success begins. Local/Regional supermarket chains can move far faster and profitably than a giant!

Information and connected actions are the keys for all.
Others will provide you with information but you must take the proactive actions to secure yourselves.
Really, no cares about you as an individual. It is all about 'ME syndrome'. Even your hospitals do not have enough facilities in the case of cataphoric disasters, including a Greyhound Bus crash. Yes, that feeble and that concerning.
Cities have Limited or NO preparedness plans and are all talk and no actions.
It is now 'a do for yourself world'! Everything is geared to 'reactionary' solutions. After the fact in most cases is too late. Yes, reactionary by a doctor to your injuries or illness is one thing, prevention of terrorists or mentally ill on the streets with possible pending actions is a whole different kettle of fish.
Words, overheard words are vitally important and any statement you hear that seems to be a threat or a concern must be reported to keep us all safe. Snitching saves lives and protects us all.
Information and data are available by the tonne. That may be the case, it is what you can do with it. Information has a 'sell by date' and becomes useless if not acted upon in a timely fashion.
CommSmart Global Group, a LexisNexis Risk Solutions Partner believes in actions, not just talk!

Why Is Money Left On the Streets Awaiting Collection
by Nicholas Ashton, CEO/CIO, CommSmart Global Group
Money, 'the root of all evil' has never sounded so close to home.
Our new Iowa governor has now had to face the reality of money shortfalls, failed budgets and paying the bills for all the people she represents in the state of Iowa.
Governor Kim Reynolds was the #2 in the state as the former Lt. Governor but had no part in passing any budgets or signing the passed legislation, but she is now facing the problems front and center.
Firstly, a budget is nothing more than fantasy land, as they never balance and crystal balls do not work for politicians or fortune tellers at the fair.
The budget shortfall started earlier in the year as reported by the Des Moines Register:
"A new state fiscal year begins July 1, and the Iowa Legislative Services Agency has warned that state revenues for the past 11 months have fallen about $97 million short of projections. The Republican-led Iowa Legislature has already approved $118 million in budget cuts this year and has withdrawn another $131 million from the state's cash reserves to fill financial gaps."
CommSmart Global Group, a LexisiNexis Risk Solutions Partner met with the Iowa Department of Revenue to discuss the announced shortfall earlier in the year. Offering a proven solution to locating the missing monies through fraud that we know are literally laying on the streets. Also showing how this is occurring and more to the point, the ability to stop, detect the culprits and putting into effect a formula to maintain the needed cash flow.
Our conversation is continuing...
Our proven solutions will stem the criminal actions of those scoffing the laws regarding failed taxation payments, identity clocking, non-existent building permits and those totally circumventing paying collected sales taxes.
This is not some wild scheme that may work, it is working and repatriating millions and millions of unpaid monies to states in the USA. All occurs with a simplistic usage of data and information and our abilities to track, trace and outing the culprits.
The state of Iowa cannot afford not to accept our solution as there is literally no risk as the cost or investment is neigh zero! Of course, there is a cost, so minuscule it has made other states climb on board to increase their rightful monies that are being lost, unknown and hidden by those that are placing financial pressure on the citizens of the state with shortfalls.
Believe you me, we know what we can do, Ohio was able to collect over $100 million in just one year.

There is a sickening burning smell in the air and yes, the smoke detectors are sounding. The smell of increased crime by criminals who know they can get away with it and have no respect for society or the law.
As with forest firefighters, we utilize the art of setting fires to stop the growth of an out of control fire by starving it of fuel. Similarly, this works with criminals and with their crimes.
It starts with proactive awareness in both the community and police agencies. That can only happen when Community Policing is ever present and not just a few times a year. Prominently providing current and up-to-date data/information to all, across all agencies with no borders for knowledgeable, usable facts in the palm of their hands.
Placing data in silos is an entire waste of time and when it is accessed by analysts, the resulting statistics are so far out of date, they are useless. We know how to use it successfully NOW!
Fire and Crime Watch are a Constant!
Two-way information flow must be brought back to the forefront through developed community street programs like the Pied Piper Project which has a two-pronged purpose of awareness of what a community must be involved in and informing the hardened or ‘wannabe’ criminal what he or she will expect when caught.
The art is prevention by instilling ‘fear’ into being caught in the first place. Just like we must do with Islamist Terrorists, to break down their ideology and cultural aggressions.
See Something, Say Something is not just about the terror plotters, it is about communities that want Trust, Respect & Pride to resurface, maintaining and improving their societal structure once again.
CommSmart Global Group, a LexisNexis Risk Solutions Partner has decades of street smart experience with a global team that knows the crime factors, society breakdowns and importantly, the dire loss of public safety services.
The ‘Fear Factor’ answers from politicians and management, like ‘we don’t have the money or we have more important things right now’, are lame and pathetic excuses!
To ignore Progressive Proven Digital Policing, believing we will go away, fade into oblivion is senseless, we are going nowhere, whilst all forms of crime grows. Communities have the right to be restless on the public safety services failing, due to the catastrophe of ‘Political Correctness’ and ‘out of touch’ leadership and politicians.
Reduction of services is costing billions to all. A police agency or department, who has no additional monies due to budget cuts, knows so well what it now takes to patrol the streets, answer calls, solve the crime and always be ready for the unexpected! The public has expected you to protect and serve and that in itself is a just a glimmering light in the distance!
It used to be great to be a cop, respected by all, smiling faces as you interacted with the public, which you are one of. Then it all changed!
It is about interaction! There are police officers who are wondering ‘what the hell did they ever get themselves in the job in the first place for, that has done an 180-degree turn, from being a pleasant shift to an unknown factor of uncertainty.
Some may and do say that we are very direct in our communications, including social media interactions and ‘in your face’ on these failings. We have every right and someone has to take the ‘the bull by the horns’, pulling back on the out of control reins, making others listen to the increasing crime issues and decreasing budgets, which do not correlate to successful protecting and serving!
There is a far better-proven method which is available, working in over a thousand police agencies with success.
CommSmart Global Group and our Risk Solutions Partner, LexisNexis are standalone in the Art of Data Triangulation:
Our capabilities and delivery are second to none, translation of your data is cost saving factor as we have agreements with the majority of CAD/RMS providers.
Our analytics, especially predictive, are proven and honed with the Department of Defense in America’s global war zones with reliability. Now all available for our streets which are progressively worsening.
We ask one simple thing that law enforcement agencies are good at, asking questions, investigating, listening and then when all said and done, an applicable decision can be determined. Until then, the policing and community problems get worse and worse and then, there will be no turning back!
