1) Josh Johansen - Marketing Director for plumbing installation company, 20+ years selling and retaining customers, domain expert.
I found and met Josh at my local Home Depot actually looking throughout the plumbing section and monitoring which of his companies products were selling more rapidly.
I chatted with him for about 5 minutes about my idea and where I expected to be withing 5 years of launching. He liked the idea and said to keep him updated throughout my process as he may want to get his company involved.
2) Michelle Klipper - Sales Manager for the same company as Josh. Been in that position for 12 years now. Marketing expert.
I met Michelle through the means of Josh as he gave me her contact information in order to help me with this project.
We exchanged emails and she stated that the money it would take to inform the customers about the product and how it works may put me in a huge hole up front but eventually, if it is a quality product, the sales will be profitable.
3) Mike Roell - Plant Manager for the same company. Has worked in the warehouse for 40 years.
Once again, Josh hooked me up with his plant manager. It will be expensive to build prototypes and fill small orders but once it gets rolling it will become cheaper.
