Explanation : Area Reports
Area Reports will be written by Global Direct Investment
Solutions after consultation with the Professional Site Selection Tour
participants about their perceptions of each Sponsor area, and will also
reflect our own perceptions from research work and participation in the
Tour. Some consultant comments will inevitably be "off the record",
but we will work with the consultants to develop useful quotes which can be
published with attribution to them.
Confidential feedback will be provided directly to the Tour
hosts and sponsors, whether by the consultants or through us for anonymity,
such as to help guide local promotional strategies and suggest how to
improve future presentations to potential investors and their advisors.
We may also work with media sponsors and others as appropriate to share
Area Reports and support their own research and articles about
host locations and our other participants.
Examples may include logistics consultants, corporate real
estate brokers, architects, engineers, industrial and office park developers
or construction firms, lawyers, incentives consultants, tax advisors and
other specialists. We can therefore highlight the experience of these
participants as appropriate according to their primary specialty, but
we distinguish their specialized work from the business location strategy
and site selection consultants. |
Tour event planning suggestions
We also receive feedback from consultants about
"familiarization tours" to which they have been invited in the past, or in
which they have participated. We take their views into consideration
and consult them about their interests when planning future Tour events.
Host sponsors should recognize that some of these
consultants frequently compete for the same clients. Many have also
worked together in the past. Some get along well with their peers, and
others do not. Small events - or even individualized visits - can
therefore sometimes be more productive for everyone involved than large
events. |

Relationship Disclosure / Disclaimer
Participation in the Professional Site Selection Tour does
not involve any express or implied warranty by such participants about our
services, nor by us about theirs. This is an independent service to
help organize useful visits by professional business advisors to the sponsor
areas.
If we have any working relationship such as to perform marketing work
directly on behalf of the professional participants or Sponsor areas, these
are openly disclosed in the Service Profiles or Area Profiles which
summarize their capabilities. |
We welcome suggestions, feedback, and
Sponsors If you
know professional business advisors who you think should be invited to
participate in the Tour, or have comments about the participants from
experience working with them, please contact
Bruce Donnelly at 847-304-4655 to discuss your suggestions. |
