Hi Chaps. Today I made a list of 40 Companies to contact. I made a database for myself also, to make it easier to recall who I had contacted and how for things went. I ma a little phone shy so I emailed some as I was going along. I found that a lot of the companies were actually owned by a much larger company and I could have saved time in the beginning by just contacting the main one. Anyways, I got an email back from one that said, that they do not accept unsolicited emails from product developers, I was a little sad, but the email went on to say you can make official submissions to us on this link. So Keep going people, I havent found out the next step yet but its all good. Thanks.,

I own an Asphalt Company in Las Vegas, Nevada, and New Mexico. I showed this to my sales team and it actually did wonders and we are up in sales. It’s the small things that can save a company. If you want to contact me and do some more over the phone sales for commission, reply to this!

You look like you had a difficult time just getting the phone number, which proves it is a difficult problem for everyone.Thanks for your persistence. If you think about it there is a fundamental lack of communication from the companies.There really needs to be a Chambers of Commerce contact approach so that companies are easier to contact for the benefit of all concerned and the wider populace who need products and the jobs generated by those new products.I passed your details to my fellow inventors in Glasgow.Thanks again.

Question buddy... I forgot to leave my phone number on my certification of Micro Entity Status form. I did sign and date. Is this or will this cause an issue? My telephone number is listed a few times on the SB16 Cover Sheet which i also submitted.

I contacted a company about sharing my idea with them and they emailed me back and they're asking me to sign an affidavit with pictures and specs of my invention. Is there anything I should be worried about signing their affidavits?

[rayarjomand]

If it wasn't scary to call them, you would call several companies right in this video (LOL) !!!!

[CourtneyLaschkewitsch]

Great advice! This video really shows the process. Love it!

Andrew...great show.
I want to license my idea to 3m.
I built my prototype from products that 3m manufactures. Seems like the logical thing to do😁 or is it better to seek out smaller companies?

[devonjohnson]

I had a new dolly idea and called around 35 companies most were very nice I made up a work sheet for each company with name of receptionist [gate keeper ] there response to my opening? The persons name Whom they referred me too and tried to ask for and right before the transfer I would ask if I could get their email as well mostly I got an answering machine where I would simply ask if I could send them a sell sheet with my info for a response then in a few days I would email them a follow up

Can a company be too big, example a company with 20 subsidiaries who might have the market cornered?

Both their socials were at the bottom. They usually have a phone number and/or email public on Facebook.
