You Can Succeed Using International Lobbying Firms

By Ruthie Livingston


When facing government allies or foes, politicians often need help. They turn to various international lobbying firms, or just domestic ones, to assist in pleading their causes. They have a variety of top-notch companies with reputations in various fields. They need to select one with experience in their area of interest first and foremost.

Politicians have varying degrees of influence in their realm reflecting their track records and time in office. They enjoy vast influence in many cases as they rise through the ranks. They can use lobbyists to further a program in the public eye or with Congress for the purposes of legislation. This ploy gives them additional power to achieve their many goals.

It is all about power and connections so experience weighs highly when selecting a lobbying firm. It must be in the relevant field. Then the ability to sway public or legislative opinion comes into play. It is odd that such illustrious efforts have garnered a negative reputation as influence-seekers. It should depend on the particular merits of the cause.

Connections are the core of the lobbyists' power - as well as that of the initiating politician. Politicians and lobbyists are partners in their efforts to achieve goals. Thus, a lobbying firm must be carefully chosen to meet prevailing needs. It is odd that lobbying is often seen as a derogatory word, when in fact in depends on the issue in question. It denotes undue influence by people who are peripheral to the topic. It implies distorting the truth to achieve an end. But this is not so. Rather, it is a reputable field that helps shed light on an issue.

Even non-profit organizations use them to garner support for their programs. One assumes that charitable foundations, for example, are working for the good of the people, but you don't always know how. In spite of quality projects, many non-profits need more funding and relevant legislation.

It pays to look at background, experience, length of time in operation, and reputation. They all go hand in hand in assessing the quality and reliability of a lobbying firm. You can't know success in advance as much as you would like to have a crystal ball, but you can make an informed decision. Let's face it: track record says it all.

It is difficult to anticipate results and you must rely on a combination of instincts and good judgment. There is no replacement for the right skills. Results are best attained with experience, as in any field. You want to put the odds on your side.

Thus background and experience must be weighed and assessed any way you can. Length of time in the lobbying field is mandatory to guarantee best results. An interest in the issue at hand follows suit. It comes down to a combination of qualifications to make the best and wisest choice.
