Are those salaries sustainable if the industry doubles again in the next few years, for example?
We will continue to track this issues closely and welcome your remarks.

While I managed Procomer between 2002 and 2004, companies were complaining about the lack of skilled personnel. Since then, the industry has tripled in size while keeping wage inflation under control. That is a fact.

]]> Comment on Opinion: Harsh Criticism of Bogota is Out of Line by RICK DAVIS http://caribbeancrmcentral.wordpress.com/2009/07/09/opinion-harsh-criticism-of-bogota-is-out-of-line/#comment-57 Fri, 17 Jul 2009 19:59:05 +0000 http://caribbeancrmcentral.wordpress.com/?p=700#comment-57 Over the last 20 years, I have seen a lot of changes occur in Bogota… one of my favorite cities in LatAm. The environment in the government is very US friendly now, with ample evidence that this good will may continue for the foreseeable future. The bad reputation spread about by ignorant or unprofessional people has helped to create less competition for professional managers.

May I suggest that it is always a good idea to do all the research on a deal BEFORE getting to the closing table when doing business overseas? Here’s a resource you may want to consider.

Stories abound on the blogs and boards that detail troublesome issues that occurred as the result of some unknown legal or administrative issue that caused a potentially rewarding opportunity to turn nasty.

I am fortunate that I have a daughter who is an international lawyer with a firm in Coral Gables, FL that is involved in court cases in many countries around the world. She is Paula Aguila, resident of Miami Beach and Mar del Plata, Argentina. Paula was born in Brazil, lived in Argentina, Spain etc and is active in contract and trial law in English, Spanish and Portuguese. Her LinkedIn profile is http://www.linkedin.com/pub/paula-aguila/14/478/375

Maybe she can save YOUR bacon as she has saved mine in several situations. Suerte, ya’ll!

For Cosmetic Surgery abroad, you can minimize risk by going to a medical tourism company like WorldMed Assist who will handle all the logistics and make your stay abroad as smooth as possible. WorldMed Assist only partners with hospitals after multi-day, on-site screening. Many of the top surgeons in their partner network were trained in the U.S., and most hospitals have affiliations with renowned US medical centers such as Johns Hopkins and Harvard Medical. Hospitals are squeaky clean, and their patients have rated their overseas accommodations as five star. Visit WorldMed Assist for more on Cosmetic Surgery abroad.
