When I worked for a time at a call centre in London, Ontario the company partnered with a company called Diversified to develop an event to sell property in places like the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Costa Rica and, of course, Panama. Not only did I develop the call program and email marketing but I also built the website for the event. We managed to attract a number of exhibitors from several countries and generated a lot if interest but the follow-up management was a disaster and we never collected a dime. The guy basically running the event turned out to be a well known crook who absconded with some of the money and made very shady deals to get some of the exhibitors into the show. It could and should have been a very successful project. There was a futile attempt made to resurrect the show in Calgary but that also failed.
