Video Gold Key Matching Service

Video Conferencing Equipment

The Video Gold Key Matching Service is intended to provide clients an opportunity to conduct initial interviews with prospective business partners prior to visiting a country, to obtain feedback regarding the market for their product, and as a result, to use their time in-country more efficiently and effectively.
The Video Gold Key Matching Service is not normally intended to substitute for a country visit, although there have been cases where a company made significant strides toward closing a deal and even made sales prior to visiting as a result of a Video Gold Key Matching Service.

  • The Video Gold Key Matching Service is implemented exactly like a regular Gold Key Matching Service, with the exception that the in-country portion is conducted as a videoconference. Posts will endeavor to provide 4 high quality appointments according to the profile provided by the U.S. client. Videoconference appointments will be scheduled at the convenience of all parties, and they need not all be on the same day. Each appointment will be for one hour unless otherwise requested by the client. In the event of a "no-show" on the foreign side, at least one attempt will be made to reschedule the meeting.

The name Video Gold Key Matching Service  takes advantage of identification with our best known and most successful brand, the Gold Key. The term already has been in widespread use to describe pilot efforts. For anyone familiar with our Gold Key Matching Service, the name is almost self-descriptive and therefore easier to immediately grasp and to explain to clients.
