Moving Forward

We have quickly learned that the business process here in Peru is much different than the United States. The first difference we had to adjust to was the fact that every business asks for a letter explaining who you are and what you want before they will consider making an appointment with you. This slows down the appointment making process quite a bit because there is a lot of waiting time inbetween when the letter is sent and when, or if, the company decides to respond. But, we have started to see the fruits our countless phone calls and many letters which has been encouraging. We have had some great appointments with some of the major businesses in Peru including Bayer, Techonofil, OPP Film, PetroTech, BDO Consultants, and we are filling the weeks to come with appointments as well. We felt great about the fact that we sold 32 tickets to the gala through these appointments and the generous donations from a few individuals and businesses in Utah. That doubled the amount of tickets we had sold prior to this week.
