How To Manufacture, Market & Sell A Product To Form A Viable Business

Guest Speaker:
Jack Terrazas
(a live presentation)
 
Having introduced over $300 million in new products, Jack is going to discuss how to cost-effectively produce, market and sell your product to create a viable business.

Beyond The Patent:
Obtaining a patent is just the beginning.  But where and how you go from there can be both an extremely time consuming and costly endeavor unless you take the right steps.

With over 35 years’ experience orchestrating the strategic, marketing, sales and business planning functions for both $100M+ companies and start-ups, Jack will take the mystery out of launching your product.  Capitalizing on his vast array of engineering, manufacturing, sales, marketing and buyer relationships, Mr. Terrazas will explain how to prove commercial viability of your product to enable you to raise capital to grow your business!

Establishing The Right Business Model Is First Priority:
Having personally presented and sold hundreds of products to buyers at Target, Walmart, Home Depot, Lowe’s, Costco, Sam’s, HEB, Kroger, QVC, Bed Bath & Beyond and dozens of other retail chains, Jack will touch on the entire ‘pre-market entry’ process of concept refinement, market research, branding, packaging design, pricing and positioning, in-store and online merchandising and other marketing communication requirements.

Then he will explain the key functions of a business model from engineering, manufacturing and quality assurance to production planning, logistics and order fulfillment.  Having these fundamentals in place will assure knowing your true cost of doing business so you price your product for optimal profitability.

NOTE
The New Patent Law Has Problems For Inventors
Independent inventors and start-up’s depend on strong patents to defend their inventions, however recent changes to the patent law have significantly weakened inventor’s intellectual property rights to the point that they can no longer depend on their patents to protect their innovations.  For information on the intellectual property problems, please see the movie, Invalidated: The Shredding Of The US Patent System.  Click the below image for a trailer of the movie/documentary.   You can also see the documentary on Amazon and iTunes , free with Amazon Prime subscription, or $2 otherwise.
