Truths, Tactics & Techniques For Measurable Success

The Jump Start Your Marketin Brain book is a DEEP DIVE into the complex world of sales and marketing. It's for those with a genuine commitment to measurably improving their success rate.

Now chapters are available for FREE download from FREE Stuff on the Marketplace.

All public innovations listed in the Planet Eureka! Marketplace are now also available at TechTransferOnline , the world's largest list of available intellectual property.  TechTransferOnline is the first among several cross-publishing sites that will list excerpts of the Merwyn Business Simulation Research Report for all publicly listed innovations.

This helps inventors in 2 ways.

1 - It helps to promote your invention - getting more companies (investors, distributors, manufacturers, buyers) that are visiting these other sites to see your invention.  In essense, getting more "traffic" for your idea.

2 - Your confidentiality is still protected because your identity and contact information are still never shared.  Those interested in your idea are given a link to email you through the PlanetEureka.org message center.

It helps companies by giving them another way to find the innovative products and services with complete Merwyn Business Simulation Research Reports - meaning they can understand the idea and it's potential in 60 seconds or less.

In a press release from the Department of Commerce, Secretary Gary Locke announces the expansion of the National Innovation Marketplace.

“American manufacturers have sophisticated technologies and systems and some of the most skilled workforces in the entire world,” Locke said. “By expanding the National Innovation Marketplace, the Commerce Department is bringing together in one place the ideas, products and future opportunities businesses need to identify new markets, diversify and create new jobs.”
