Sounding Board?

Do you wish you had someone to talk to that understands what you are going through? You can't share your problems with competitors, and you may not know anyone who is familiar with your kind of business who can give you feedback about your ideas.  We can help. Think of us as a vital addition to your team of advisors since we can be objective about the challenges you face.

Problem Solving?

Some problems are like 1,000 piece puzzles, except they don't have a photo on the box to show you what the solution is supposed to look like.  We can help you see the big picture because we aren't as close to the problem. We can see unexpected connections and offer new insights because of our experience in creating products and building businesses around them.

New Product Development?

One thing is certain, no company can survive for long selling the same product forever. If you want to stay relevant, you need a process for creating new products. We can help you generate new products and rethink your current products. We also really love creating new names for products and writing sales sheets, so let's have some fun!

Growth Hacking?

Starting a business takes the mental makeup and skills of a pioneer. Building and operating a company requires the mindset and skills of a gardener. The secret to your success is making the transition from pioneer to gardener. We can help you create systems that will help your business flourish and grow.

Protection?

As soon as you create a successful product, someone will copy your big idea and begin taking away your market share. That doesn't mean you can't slow them down. We aren't lawyers but we earned 15 patents, dozens of trademarks and hundreds of copyrights. We can show you how to get the best kind of intellectual property protection for your products. We will give you tips for interviewing lawyers and finding someone who fits your intellectual property needs.

Distribution?

Are you getting all you can out of your sales? Do you know the best way to get your products into stores or on Amazon or Shopify? Have you built a sales force to include independent reps, distributors and affiliates to supplement online sales? Do you have a website and an online marketing strategy? We can help you identify and reach more customers by helping you build a distribution network that captures all segments of your market.


Creativity?

Creativity is a mystery, but we found some of the keys to unlock what is inherent in you. We look forward to sharing proven methods and techniques we know will make you think in creative ways.  Some are well known techniques and some are original to us. We can teach them to you and your team to improve your creative problem solving ability. You don't need to settle for the ordinary.

Manufacturing?

It's not easy to keep up with manufacturing methods or to be sure you are getting the best prices from suppliers. Outsourcing your manufacturing is a good way to conserve precious capital. We can help you find the best manufacturer for you at prices you can afford.
