Chuck Bolotin, Best Places in the World to Retire Vice President of Business Development, Marketing & Sales explained how the site works for both visitors and vendors.  "For our visitors, those doing research into moving, doing business, or visiting overseas, Best Places was designed from the beginning as a 'one stop shop'.  Our Question & Answer area (http://bestplacesintheworldtoretire.com/questions-and-answers/qa) fulfills the need for credible answers about basic data, such as cost of living, healthcare, safety, and so on, provided by multiple people, with multiple points of view.  If our visitor wants more of a feel for the place he or she is researching, Expat Stories (http://bestplacesintheworldtoretire.com/stories/latest) provides the more human element, where expats either write about their day-to-day life overseas, or are interviewed about it.  For our for profit and non-profit vendors, our site parallels the consultative sales process, where the first part of the process isn't to sell anything, but rather, to add value and gain trust, which our vendors do by honestly answering questions and posting stories.  It is only after that trust has been achieved that the vendor can earn a new client.  On our platform, everyone wins."

Bolotin further stated, “With the addition of Belize, we add even more useful content for our loyal and growing group of visitors, and another dimension to what is now available to them.  Also, Belize is our first English-speaking country, which is important for many people.”

Alexander added, “Just like when we added Nicaragua several months ago, the company continues to learn how to efficiently bring in useful content to serve our visitors and our vendors.  We’re very thankful to our premier contributors, who, together, combined for almost 400 answers in the pre-launch for Belize so that, when we did launch, we did so with lots of good content for our visitors.  These customers include ECI Development, Boris Mannsfeld & Associates, Caye Bank, and Grand Baymen.  They have given us a very fast start in this beautiful country.  We look forward to bringing on approximately four more countries in 2015 and continuing our success.”
