			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We&#8217;ve had a great time the past year and a half helping guys get placed to continue their baseball career.  It&#8217;s been a really fun experience.  Because of that, we&#8217;ve decided to open up more doors and let more players in on the opportunity to play international baseball.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re starting the <strong>STARTER CLUB</strong> membership because we want every aspiring athlete to <strong>BE &#8220;IN-THE-KNOW&#8221;</strong> and have the best possible chance to market and sell themselves to potential teams.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s how it works:</p>
<p>- Whenever we get notified of a job opportunity overseas (and sometimes domestic professional leagues) we&#8217;ll notify <strong>YOU</strong>!</p>
<p>- It&#8217;s that simple!  You will be given the information regarding the opening.  If you feel you qualify for it, let us know then we&#8217;ll put you in contact directly to the decision makers and you can take it from there.  Even if you don&#8217;t qualify for the opening, you are still sent the information.</p>
<p><strong>* SPECIAL NOTE:  If you refer a player that qualifies for the position and they sign, you will receive a COMMISSION check from us</strong> <img src='http://www.intbaseballconnect.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>-  We always get the position openings before it goes public, which means <strong>YOU</strong> will get notified before other candidates, which also means, you potentially have a better shot at getting in touch with the teams and selling your services.  <em>&#8220;The early bird gets the worm&#8221;</em></p>
<p>The membership fee is $149.99, which gives you a savings of $100 from our Standard fee of $250.  This is a great opportunity for you to be one step ahead of the game and put yourself in the best position possible to impress decision makers.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re interested in joining <a href="http://www.intbaseballconnect.com/2010-sign-up/starter-club/" target="_self"><strong>CLICK HERE</strong></a> to go to the Sign Up page and get started!</p>
<p>We&#8217;re here to help you <strong>BE &#8220;IN-THE-KNOW&#8221;</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The last few weeks we&#8217;ve been really busy juggling negotiations between a number of players and several teams in Europe.  The neat thing about what we&#8217;ve been recently doing is that, all but one client, has had Major League Baseball affiliate experience.</p>
<p>A lot of people don&#8217;t know that we have a really nice agreement with 10+ MLB teams.  So as a placement company, we can offer affiliate experienced players to the teams overseas.</p>
<p>And ladies and gentlemen, <em><strong>THAT&#8217;S</strong></em> what sets up apart from all the other placement companies and agencies.</p>
<p>You see they have to go out and recruit, we don&#8217;t.  We just like to reach out to players, email friends, text people we know, because we care about offering an alternative opportunity to players that have no clue nor connection to these opportunities.  So yea that&#8217;s what&#8217;s been happening the last few weeks.  It&#8217;s been fun, but a drag especially because of the time constraints with the different time zones, but&#8230;oh well that&#8217;s the nature of the beast.</p>
<p>Stay tuned, we have a <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>MAJOR</em></span> announcement in terms of Partnerships that we&#8217;re going to make here shortly.  Again, this is another reason why we&#8217;re the <strong>PREMIER PLACEMENT SERVICE</strong> in the country.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>International Baseball Connect had a great day down  in Irvine, California today.  We had 3 pitching positions set to be filled on various teams in Europe and 1 spot opening up while we were out. Shout out to all the guys that showed up and had a great work out.   We spoke with many guys and we&#8217;ll see if the prospects that we made contact with fit the mold of these openings.</p>
<p>The overall talent was good and most of the guys we  spoke with were solid guys willing to do what they need to get on a team. We  want to thank Jerry Lehman for inviting us out to the field today. If you are interested in potentially playing baseball overseas this season or have  an interest in teams in the US feel free to sign up at our website or shoot  us an email. Competition is tough this season and positions are filling fast  so make sure to get us your information ASAP. We are looking forward to getting  out to the next workout, details to follow.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I know it seems as if we&#8217;ve been inactive the past several months, but truth be told we&#8217;ve been busy <img src='http://www.intbaseballconnect.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />   I&#8217;ve had a chance to sit back, do a few emails here and there but most of all observe the current state of international baseball and it&#8217;s encouraging to see more and more people showing interest in overseas baseball.</p>
<p>There are new &#8220;companies&#8221; popping up here and there claiming to have experience in conducting similar services as IBC, which is great!  BUT no other of these new &#8220;placement&#8221; companies can boast of a &#8220;team&#8221; that has placed players successfully in the markets that IBC has.  Needless to say, the list of &#8220;previously placed players&#8221; are just players that we&#8217;ve assisted in some form to get them placed but our list is extensive throughout the years.  I say that to say this, the past few months have seen our team and network busy on the war path of placing players internationally, and NOT only in Europe.</p>
<p>If you can spell Korea, Taiwan, or Japan&#8230;then we can spell it too <img src='http://www.intbaseballconnect.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  LOL</p>
<p>Someone once told me that successful people learn how to work smart not more, and I think that when you mention international baseball &#8220;placement&#8221; services, you <em>have</em> to automatically think Asia.  <img src='http://www.intbaseballconnect.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  LOL</p>
<p>IBC is an international baseball placement service company!  Inactive or Incognito&#8230;we&#8217;ll it&#8217;s your preference on how you&#8217;d like to perceive us&#8230;we&#8217;ll just continue to work smart!!!! <img src='http://www.intbaseballconnect.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
