| This section summarizes how
professional service providers, economic development
organizations, and corporate executives can actively
participate in the work performed by GDI Solutions according to their own
interests, as opposed to simply
having routine contact with GDI Solutions or a free website listing as a
relevant organization in our
"long list" directories of contacts worldwide. See how to
request a relevant
directory listing
This enables us to
better serve all participants with the independent professional capabilities necessary to
identify, reach, and introduce
more corporate executives personally to relevant contacts as they work on investment project
plans anywhere. |

Corporate Executives
It is free and easy
for corporate executives to actively participate or simply use our services
at any time to address specific needs. For more details, follow the subtitle link above.
- Project participants - assistance with research
or independent referrals for specific project enquiries
- Active participants - ongoing support
relationships, such as through The
Global Direct Investment Forum
In either
case, just give us a call. It's that easy. We'll work out a
support plan which meets your needs effectively. It's free.
Really.
Basic information about many of our contacts is already available through
the Contacts section, but
please call us since this website contains only selective highlights of
available knowledge, research, and contacts. Refer to
www.OnTheShortList.com for
selective business location research tools. The
GUIDE Tools section organizes
links to many resources of common interest.
The
Google site search makes
specific content easy to find, and navigational links tie related content
together.

Like a concierge service, our role is to organize market
knowledge and contacts in advance, or do quick research work, to address
your specific interests effectively. Think of us as an extension of
your own network of useful contacts for business development purposes.

Area Representatives
Professional services and area representatives can also enjoy some
benefits for free, but are encouraged to participate more actively through
services which fund the work of GDI Solutions while providing much better
knowledge to share with executives about their unique capabilities.

Refer also to The Professional Site Selection Tour and
Meeting Point at
www.ontheshortlist.com as new services for 2006
Our project referrals are driven by the needs and preferences of
corporate executives. We openly share local market knowledge and
contacts to make it easy for executives and their advisors to explore their
alternatives.
A closer working relationship as an active
participant in our work makes it easier for us to know when such introductions
may be appropriate to investor needs, and to have the resources necessary to serve more such investors.
In short, better knowledge and closer working relationships facilitate a
more effective independent referral process. More resources enable us
to reach more potential investors, and make more referrals. it's that
simple.
In this context, some very basic services, such as
participation in the GUIDE Network Survey process, are free to help keep us informed in a consistent and structured
manner so that we can maintain timely contacts and very
basic information about thousands of potential business locations.

Professional Service Providers
- how to participate
Participation among professional service providers is generally on an invitation-only
basis according to our experience working with such
organizations on major projects, or our direct knowledge of their capabilities
through research or feedback from executives.
We can work with direct competitors as an independent service, just as you
probably serve competing clients in your own professional specialty.
We welcome enquiries about participation, since we are always looking for
more valuable services to assist corporate executives, but we enter into
contracts to support our relationship development work through
the SICR services on a very selective basis.
Just as area representatives can receive referrals without being active
participants, the same it true of professional services, if we know your
capabilities to meet the needs of investors. We will obviously be far
more familiar with the capabilities of the active participants because we
maintain working relationships with them, which we disclose.
In that context, we can perform GUIDE Service Profile work to become more
familiar with a service provider, and to summarize the relevant capabilities
on this website, even when we may both choose not to enter into a larger
agreement such as participation in SICR work.
