"Unless you are the first born favorite child of a Yale law professor, you will not find a better and more knowledgeable resource for your legal questions than Kris Jeters. I’ve approached him with several different issues requiring legal assistance over the years, and I’ve yet to trip him up. He’s experienced, articulate, funny and simply brilliant. I literally cannot recommend him highly enough. If you’re in any kind of legal pickle, run, don’t walk to Kris Jeters at Law Freq Legal Services. (You’re welcome.)"

Your initial statement says nothing about "to whom" you "have to pay $12K to get on the GSA schedule." Thus, given this lack of information, you should consider the fact that perhaps sending payment of any kind could be viewed as a Contractor sending a gratuity to Government Personnel.
This is important to know, because, under the GRATUITIES CLAUSE of the Federal Acquisition Regulation ("FAR") Section 3.2 AND 52.203-3, specifically Part 3 - IMPROPER BUSINESS PRACTICES AND PERSONAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST, Section 3.2 mentions:
If agency head determines contractor: 1. Offered or gave a gratuity to an agency official (FAR 3.204(a)(1)), 2. With the intent to obtain a contract or favorable treatment under a contract (FAR 3.204(a)(2))
the Agency may: 1. Terminate contract (FAR 3.204(c)(1)), 2. Debar or suspend contractor (FAR 3.204(c)(2)) 3. Assess exemplary damages if DoD funded (FAR 3.204(c)(3)).
Thus, if you are a contractor (which I presume you are based on your interest in securing leads for contracts), I wouldn't touch this with a ten-foot pole.

Since a tenant cannot predict what a landlord is going to do AFTER they sign a lease, here is some knowledge a tenant should have to assist them with landlords/homeowners BEFORE they sign a lease:
1. Look CLOSELY at the rental unit.
a. Inspect the rental for working smoke detectors, old/broken plumbing fixtures, old/warn electrical outlets, and access to a fire escape.
2. Talk to the current renter, if possible, or, other renters in the area if it's an apartment or condo complex.
a. Ask them if the landlord is friendly, flexible, and fair (i.e., if a problem or emergency occurs at the rental).
3. Visit the county courthouse.
a. Check ALL available records concerning the landlord (i.e., have they been sued, or, do they file a lot of eviction lawsuits).
4. Conduct an online public-records search.
a. Check online with the County/City Recorders' Office to make sure the landlord is licensed (i.e., reveals if any housing complaints have been filed against the landlord).
5. Ask to see a copy of the landlord’s insurance policy.
a. Don't you want to know whether or not they are properly insured?
6. Check out any and all online reviews concerning the rental and the landlord.
a. Social media is a wonderful source of detail concerning this area of information.
7. Videotape and/or take many photographs of the rental BEFORE moving in.
a. And don't forget to do the same things when you move out!
And BE SURE to ask the following questions of the prospective landlord (or, CLOSELY REVIEW the lease agreement before signing it)....
1. How long is the lease term?
2. When is rent due and how do I pay it?
3. Are utilities included?
4. Is there 24/7 maintenance if there is an emergency concerning the rental (i.e., water, electrical, vermin, mold, etc.)?
5. Are pets allowed?
6. Is the security deposit refundable?
7. What is your guest policy?
8. What are the rules for personalizing my rental?
9. How often are the locks changed?
10. How much notice will you give before entering my rental?
11. Is there any construction planned for the building (or nearby) in the near future?
12. What will you, the landlord, do (or, what have you done) to prepare the rental before I move in?

If one believes that their brand, or mark, is being infringed upon by a third party, it is always a good practice to seek legal counsel. After presenting counsel with all your facts and evidence, if counsel reasonably believes the elements of a cause of action for infringement are present, then litigation may commence. However, a traditional first step that counsel takes is to mail a "cease and desist letter" to the third party believed to be infringing on your mark, prior to commencing litigation. To support a trademark infringement claim in court, a plaintiff must prove the following elements:
1. that they own a valid mark;
2. that their mark has priority... meaning their rights in and to the mark (or marks) are "senior" or "superior" to the third party's rights;
3. that the third party's mark is likely to cause confusion in the minds of consumers.

It is my humble opinion that all people - not just employees - should find some form of usefulness in knowing and understanding business law. Simply put, over the course of 30 years in the legal business, I have found a large majority of business managers or owners (here in L.A.) tend to take advantage - however slight - of any person who does not know as much as the manager or owner does within a specific area or industry. I say this in light of the fact I assist most business owners and not employees. This is why the phrase "Ignorantia juris non excusat," which roughly translates to "Ignorance of the law excuses not" has been around for a millennium or more. This tenent (or doctrine) of law applies to both criminal and civil matters.

Word-of-mouth referrals and face-to-face consultations far surpass every other form of communication I have used in 30 years; regardless of social media platforms like webinars, or relationship marketing, as well as advertising outlets such as newspapers, magazines, radio, direct mail, etc. Of course, that's not to say one should not employ the various forms of advertising and/or marketing. However, in the long run, I find the majority of folks prefer to ask people they know and trust for referrals (i.e., word-of-mouth) which leads to a face-to-face interview. That's where a person's estimation of your authenticity is either lost or found.
I agree with the observations put forth in an analysis by Ivan Braun, founder of Icons8 and Dmitry Ufaev, founder of BitFin Capital.

And the problem with "usability" is based on a set of problems they described, such as :
Problem 1. High Price of Error;
Problem 2. The Lack of Undo;
Problem 3. Ugly Addresses;
Problem 4. Poor Response Rate; and
Problem 5. Lack of Trust.
And, of course, they mentioned other potential problems such as: long fractions and volatility... Hmmmm.... makes me worry, instead of wonder, about the future of Bitcoin (because I purchased some)!!!
In the legal field, it's always difficult to predict if Small Business Saturday has any real impact over the fiscal year. However, that doesn't mean to ignore the potential for increased interest in your services, and therefore, a potential increase in revenue.

The position I find most difficult to fill in my organization is my own. This is due to a few factors: (1) Gone are the days when you can hire a trainee who is willing to devote the time and energy necessary to fill my position for the price of a trainee; (2) Even with non-disclosure agreements in place, there has been an unfortunate increase of in-house data breaches and/or thefts that can compromise your bottom-line; and (3) There are few people who live within 20 miles of my office with 30 years of experience who can remain both humble and grateful when meeting a new client.
