After inventing a product, one of the most difficult things an inventor has to do is to come up with the money to fund the development of their invention. For most inventors, raising money is a scary proposition. Where do I get the money? What is an angel investor? Do I need a business plan? How much money will I actually need to get my invention made? Most people seem to have a very general idea of what to do but when it comes down to it they simply do not know how to raise the money they need. |

The first time I ever tried to call a retail buyer at a major retail chain I got the receptionist. This lady was of no help to me. I asked her who bought the category I was trying to sell. Her response seemed to suggest that I was calling Fort Knox and asking for the code to the front gate. I tried to be charming, witty, friendly and even clever. Nothing worked. It is not always like this. It depends on the size of the retailer most of the time. After hanging up with her, I went on the internet to try and find any information I could that would help me identify who the buyer was, but I could not find much. However, I did get the name of someone at the company. I think it was a marketing executive. So when I called back, I tried to disguise my voice and asked for so and so... This worked, sort of. I was put through to that person's voice mail. |
