Our services get results! Here are just some of our satisfied clients:

------------

"I can not tell you how much we were impressed by the professionalism of your staff and everyone at the U.S. Embassy that helped. Yesterday's events could not have gone more smoothly or been done with more class.
 
The appointments, the audience, the food, everything was done extremely well. You have succeeded in opening up an enormous amount of opportunities for us in Costa Rica. 
We continue to talk about the level and quality of people you were able to get to attend."

Georgia Kalkanis. International Trainer, Promethean Inc.(USA), October, 2007

"(I want) to extend to you our appreciation for the incredible job that was done for us. The prospects for a U.S. firm to have had that kind of audience with decision makers at the government level are generally non-existent."

R. Nelson Patterson, Program Director, Trachte, Inc., Participant in Wisconsin Trade Mission, January 31-February 1, 2007

"I want to thank you for a job well done. I have done a number of Gold Keys and this was one of the best. We also have to thank Rodrigo and our driver for getting us from appointment to appointment on time".

Joseph Kelly, Director of Int'l Sales for Bel-Art Products. April 2006

"I attended a Gold Key program last December in Central America on behalf of and in my capacity as President of Contours Express International. I am writing to report to you how extremely impressed and pleased I was with the extra efforts and complete professionalism from each one of the commercial specialists from your offices in Guatemala, El Salvador, and Costa Rica.

The marketing counsel that I received from each specialist certainly paid off more than any other previous Gold Key program. We not only had a full list of qualified candidates for each day from each country, but we also had a waiting list on call in the event of cancellations!

The meetings were all well organized and each of the candidates with whom I met had been briefed on the nature of our business which saved valuable time in our short meetings.

I could not have asked for or received a better or more professional service from your specialists and each one is to be commended.
I can tell you that I have not received the same level of quality service in any other Gold Key program in which I have participated.

Will Arvin, President of Contours Express Franchise. February 2006

"The entire staff in Costa Rica is first rate. The effort and interest in assisting us to locate a distributor was obvious. Rodrigo Rojas and Roy Fernandez are excellent professionals and great people. I was so pleased with the service I have scheduled another GKS for Guadalajara, Mexico (January 2006). If the effort is as outstanding and results as favorable, I will plan another GKS for Panama later in 2006".
