#1a Key: Obtain Guidance, But Follow Up, Follow Up, and Follow Up

Would the first experience working with Professionals like Stan Rees of the US Commerce Department been successful if we hadn't follow up all the referrals Stan gave us from the UK Embassy? The answer is NO. What follow up did our company do after we received the name of Roy Chamberlain and two other interested companies? 1. We contacted Roy and the other two companies the same day we received the contact information by fax. Now we do this contact by email. 2. We sent Roy all the supportive information he requested. 3. We called Roy on the phone and developed a friendship. 4. Keith Martin made an appointment with all three companies. 5. A fast decision was made after Keith visited all three companies and after he met with Roy Chamberlain and Karen Diggle. Chamberlain Doors was to be Martin's Distributor. 6. Because Roy and Karen knew that Chamberlain Doors had been selected to be the UK Distributor for Martin Doors, Keith, Roy and Karen wrote up a first order for review when K...

#1a Key: Obtain Guidance from Government International Professionals

Who are government professionals? Government Professionals are Federal, State, and Local, tax-paid international professions. They are paid for their expertise because of their intrinsic value to the US "Trade Balance" when US Exports increase. Because of their intrinsic value, they are paid whether or not their services are used by taxpaying companies and individuals , who can utilize their help to export products or services outside the USA. My first experience with these professionals was upon my first business trip to the Middle East and Europe, where I had shown samples of my product and received positive responses.

Stan and I decided to do what was known as an, "Agent/Distributor Search." For a small f...

Morocco an Example to North Africa

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/right-turn/post/two-choices-in-the-middle-east-libya-and-morocco/2011/03/04/ABT2WHS_blog.html Ms. Rubin joins others in emphasizing the difference between Morocco's King, who focuses on the citizens of his country, verses Libya's Dictator, who focuses on the deaths of his citizens. This difference isn't new, but part of Morocco's heritage. Two choices in the Middle East: Libya and Morocco By Jennifer Rubin "You’d be hard pressed to find a greater contrast last week in the Middle East than Libya and Morocco. While the bloodbath continued in Libya, Morocco was a completely different story.
