Professional directories like Madison Who’s Who can help Realtors network with other realtors on a global basis. Why would a realtor want to network with another realtor internationally? Because a new report shows that nearly one in five realtors has sold a home to an international client in the past year. This is according to new research by the National Association of Realtors®. International buyers purchasing homes in the US appears to be a growing trend.
Foreign buyers purchase homes across the United States, but 52 percent of sales in 2006 were concentrated in three states - Florida (26 percent), California (16 percent) and Texas (10 percent). The South attracted nearly half - 49 percent - of international buyers last year, while 31 percent purchased homes in the West.
The ability to network with other realtors worldwide will become an important tool for every realtor wanting to court the international buyer. Professional directories like Madison Who’s Who give realtors the ability to do exactly that.

Today, almost every local all-ages show is produced in the following manner. A small(often one-man) production company will make arrangements to rent one of the all-ages music/art spaces described above-a new club that just opened downtown. Next, the concert producer will find several “cutting edge” local and regional acts, he or she believes to be so talented that booking them will ensure that the show becomes fantastic success. These acts are tired of playing small, smoky bars that are half full of middle-aged people and are anxious to play somewhere new–so they excitedly agree.
Now, since the concert PRODUCER mistakenly believes he or she is a “concert PROMOTER”, promotion efforts will ensue. What he or she doesn’t realize is that true Concert Promoters work only with well-known touring acts who have a large national(or at least regional)fan base but are unable to promote for themselves because they won’t be in town until the day of the show.
So, almost literally no one who sees the flier or ad will even remember them a day later–let alone, come out and pay to see the show. Because of this, these “promotion” efforts will yield little to no results–neither in terms of show attendance nor name recognition for the bands. In addition, the concert producer will not be able to pay the bands as well as anticipated, because he or she has wasted considerable funds on ineffective promotion techniques.
On the day of the show, both the concert producer and his or her “cutting-edge” bands will arrive at the venue. Everyone will set up for the show. In spite of the fact that they prefer to play second, the most popular band on the bill (which is not necessarily the most musically talented but is always the hardest working) will be forced to play the last timeslot of the night, because they are “headlining” the show. Thanks to this well-intentioned concept (which only actually makes sense for national or regional tours), the hardest working band will be penalized–in essence–by not getting any choice of when they take the stage.
The rest of the bands will draw a combined total of 15 people to come see the show, for a total show attendance of 100 (=85+15) people. Depending on the price of admission and the size of the club, the concert producer may or may not have enough cash left to pay the rent he or she owes the venue. If rent is covered, then the bands will probably split the rest of the money.
The bands may split the rest evenly, which seems unfair to the band that brought out 85 people, but this will make the other bands very happy. The band that brought out 85% of the crowd is probably not happy about being paid the same amount as the other bands–and understandably so.
At the end of this show, the hard working band (which is the only one of the bands that has the drive needed to achieve widespread success) is left wondering if the show was even worth playing, and the other unmotivated bands are anxious for another chance to get paid for playing an event that requires little to no effort on their part.
As the dust settles, the concert producer realizes that low attendance and unnecessary “promotion” costs have left him or her very low on cash. He or she then informs the owner of the venue not to expect any more shows for a while, because it will take quite some time to save up the needed funds to produce his or her next event. Sadly, most of the production companies who rent this venue soon find themselves in a similar circumstance, so the club will likely not survive long enough to celebrate even a one-year anniversary.

Brian Peskin went to the Houston Academy of Medicine-Texas Medical Center Library - with over 500,000 monographs and 1,000 journals on-line, considered to be one of the best in the country. Brian Peskin spent long hours studying everything he could find from leading medical textbooks and medical journals. Brian Peskin avoided reports and articles based on opinion as well as those that might have been biased or inherently incomplete or inconclusive, or stating statistically incorrect recommendations. The popular press doesn’t understand how they’ve been misled. Being schooled in statistics, Brian Peskin can quickly determine which experiments and studies have been correctly analyzed and which conclusions are incorrect. Unfortunately, most studies are improperly performed and their stated conclusions are incorrect and that is why recommendations are frequently reversed years later. Brian Peskin’s recommendations have never been reversed because they are scientifically correct to begin with. To the contrary, his mission is to “lead the pack,” and never follow “politically correct” yet wrong recommendations.

For a high yield real estate project we have been seeking for a loan. We found a ex banker in Germany which claimed to get for us that loan. We had to pay upfront fees of USD 800.000.—. Following we got a lot of promises and adventureous explainations why the loan would be paid out with delay. But neither the loan was paid out nor our money paid back. After a period of one year we lost patience and took legal action against this banker in order to have paid back our USD 800k. After two years we had spent another USD 120.000.-to get a judgement. In the meantime the banker declared private bankruptcy. Following a business partner recommended us Mr. Daniel Schmidhauser from Gibraltar. He has an Inkasso service what means that he recovers money in difficult cases. Although we have been sceptical we decided to try this service and we hired Mr. Schmidhauser. He and his team found out, that this ex-banker continues with his business in the name of a company in another country. He found an arrangement with him and we’re very surprised getting suddenly monthly payments of our debtor. We don’t know how Mr. Schmidhauser did, but finally the result counts. And that’s far better than we expected. We gladly recommend the Inkasso service of Daniel Schmidhauser. You can get in contact with him on phone number +41 79 5426255.

While there really is no excuse at all for attending a networking event without business cards, people do it all the time. If you want to achieve effective global networking, business cards are an important tool. Excuses range from forgetfulness to new jobs and having left them in the car in the parking lot. If you tell people you forgot your cards, many will assume you are as lax in your business habits and you might lose opportunities. Even if you don’t have your new cards yet, you can easily produce a temporary supply on your computer. When you give them to people you can mention that they are temporary and offer to send them your new one when you have it. That, of course, is a built-in reason to contact people again! A business card is an essential networking tool. Make sure you have a supply with you at all times. I’ve had people contact me about jobs from a business card I handed out more than a year ago. You’ll never know when someone will need your services, or have an opportunity for you, but one thing is certain. If they don’t have your business card…they won’t be calling.

The first Who’s Who was published as a 250 page volume in 1849 and had no biographical content but only thirty-nine lists of ranks and appointments and the names of those holding them. These included the Royal Household, members of the House of Peers and House of Commons, judges, archbishops and British envoys abroad.
In 1897 a change of ownership brought about the biographical style that we have today. Bernard Shaw was the first Who’s Who nominee to answer the question “What is your favorite recreation?” It is so highly revered that Winston Churchill intervened during WW II to assure that Who’s Who’s made it to press.
Who’s Who directories have come a long way since those times. In fact, almost every organization or institution also keeps their own who’s who. There’s a who’s who of outstanding students in America as well as a Who Who’s of the most recognized teachers and even a Who’s Who of lawyers and a Who’s Who’ of athletes. Every company has its own roster’s of who’s who and every profession looks within its own ranks to spotlight their most brilliant with a who’s who designation.
