Hi everyone:"But, to me, with the easy accessibility to the global network through the internet, Every companies in this world has the potential to become an import/export company simply by conducting business across the international water." How will that happen? I like to remind everyone that the Internet, by its design, is an international connection. If you have a website, you automatically get international exposure. Now, that doesn't mean everyone will see your website. All it means is that anyone in anywhere in the world who happen to do a search on a subject that your website is related to, you have the possibility of being seen by that person. Let's say you have a company with a website selling 'purple plastic doorknob' (Yike!) locally in a town called 'Plastic Purple'. You are doing quite well because everyone who move into 'Plastic Purple' buy doorknob from you. Now, somewhere in Europe, a small town named 'Gone Purple' is expanding. A small hardware company name 'I Got IT' in the town of 'Gone Purple' is searching the internet for building material that has the word 'purple' on it. Viola! Your website link shows up on the screen and the company 'I Got IT' is excited! The owner of 'I Got IT' sends you an email requesting a price quote for your 'purple plastic doorknob'. After receiving your reply, the owner of 'I Got IT' realizes that you are not in Europe but in America! Since he doesn't know anything about import/export, he goes to his nearby Chamber of Commerce and asks for help. The local Chamber of Commerce, luckily, just talked to Glenn and directs the owner of 'I Got IT' to a Webtool called ProNetLink. And before you know it, a transaction is made between your company and 'I Got IT' company based in a little town called 'Gone Purple' in Europe. After the transaction, both you and 'I Got IT' have succeeded in becoming part of the import/export industry! Now, the owner of 'I Got IT' can also find out about ProNetLink through the Internet instead of going to Chamber of Commerce. But it definitely helps when local Chamber of Commerce supports ProNetLink Webtool. Here is the bright point, imagine how many of these communications between companies from all over the world will be happening in the next few years when current projections of Internet users for the next few years will increase 'how many' folds? Even if only a small percentage of these companies looking to trade outside their country for the first time tap into ProNetLink Webtool, our little PNLK baby may grow into a giant in no time!Disclaimer : I like to remind everyone that the above scenario is purely hypothetical and my opinion only and is in no way reflects what will/can happen in the future. It may or may not happen. So, do your own dd before your place your bet. Remember everyone, To Each His Own And Prosperity to ALL!
