This is the final cersion for now, I’m going Global!
Well, actually I’m going to Chicago for follow-up meetings with consulates from Mexico, Turkey and India. I met them at the April 8-9th Go Global II conference and this will be more in-depth discussions of what they can or will do to assist me in exporting to their respective countries. I’ve done some background homework, learned a few words in their language and off I go. Should be interesting.
Marketing materials in hand, I’ll be out of contact with the world, uh, Rockford, until next week. You can always e-mail me and I’ll try toget into a wireless ring!!
See ya!
