You may be wondering, "What is an Internet Consultant?"Internet Consultants are specially trained and certified Internet business experts. Just like the many other business advisors you've come to depend on (such as your lawyer, your accountant, your stock broker, etc.) an Internet Consultant is in your local community to ensure your business realizes the full profit potential offered by Internet technologies. That potential goes far beyond just selling products and services online with a website; Internet Consultants have a wide range of specialized tools at their disposal and can offer you a variety of solutions tailored specifically for your business. These Internet Solutions can include technologies that make your day-to-day processes more efficient, saving you money on operational expenses, better sales and customer management options and even affordable marketing services. About WSIWSI is the world leader in Internet marketing, Web development and Web design.Headquartered in Toronto, Canada, WSI has been developing profitable Internet Solutions for small and medium sized businesses (SMBs) since the mid 1990s. Our global network of over 1500 certified Internet Consultants in 87 countries is the largest of its kind and we’re steadfastly ranked the #1 Technology Franchise in the world by industry-leading Entrepreneur magazine. ![]() You may be wondering how your Internet Consultant can offer such advanced Internet Solutions for less (sometimes a lot less) than other Web Developers charge for their customized solutions. The key lies in creating economies of scale; pooling resources and spreading costs across a large global network. This concept is at the heart of the WSI network and is one of our biggest competitive advantages - an advantage that definitely pays off for our customers. The WSI e-Marketplace is comprised of a number of production facilities located in strategic areas throughout the world; carefully selected and approved vendors and authorized suppliers, each an expert in their respective fields; and of course, our Internet Consultants. Every member of our e-Marketplace is connected to the others via our proprietary project management system. This allows seamless communication and collaboration between e-Marketplace members whether they're in San Diego or Sydney - a terrific example of e-Business in action! So how does this lower costs for your? Because our network is so large, the costs of research and development, technical production and specialized services are shared among all of our Internet Consultants, allowing them to pass the savings on to you. This is why the local Web Developer on Main Street charges more for their Web Solutions; it's not necessarily because they're greedy, they just have to recoup all of their development costs on a project-by-project basis. When you work with a WSI Internet Consultant, you benefit from the personal attention of a local business professional and the cost-savings and stability of a large international company. It's the best of both worlds and another advantage of working with WSI. |
