Hello Daymond,
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN WALLEY FISHING IN MINNESOTA?
My name is Kelly , a 54 year old business owner from White Bear Lake, MN who is trying to bring a fantastic idea to market. I have no experience in this field but I think my idea outweighs my inexperience.
PRODUCT - The product I've been working on is a simple watch strap. When I say simple, it's simple! I have showed my prototype to two people other than family. This first is Lambert Lambert at www.lambertinvent.com where my product just missed a scoring plateau of 96 by 7 points (we scored an 89). If the score is 96-107 they offer you a partnership. In return, they take the lead and expense for further research, development and marketing. Both have shaked their heads within 10-15 seconds recognizing it's importance and said "how simple".
The other is a gentleman who is putting together a computer generated drawing and a 3D model for presentation to Lambert Lambert's marketing department. Terry Lambert called me after sending me their report and asked that I put together a video so he could sell my idea to his marketing department. I can share this report with you if needed?
I see us licensing our design to major manufacturers like Hadley Roma in Largo, Florida. I've already spoken with them and they want to see my design. What I don't see is setting up manufacturing to produce my product. Your thoughts would be welcomed in that regard.
I'm looking for guidance in return for a percentage of my business.
Kind regards,
Kelly
