INPEX® 2010 Speaker Highlight: Jim DeBetta
Jim DeBetta, President of DeBetta Enterprises and twenty year retail selling expert, will speak at INPEX America's Largest Invention Trade Show, June 18th, 2010. Jim specializes in working alongside inventors and arming them with the skills to develop and prepare their products for retail sales to the worlds' largest retailers.
Jim got his start with the family business then moved on to join a small start up company that imported binoculars, telescopes and optical products for children. He worked with customers such as Target, Wal-Mart and Sears. Jim helped to expand this humble start up from virtually no significant revenue to a leading brand in the industry that has sold more than $50 million dollars of product since the mid 1990's.
Jim continued to seek bigger challenges throughout his career. Jim represented major national brands such as Toshiba, Sony and Nikon for a $100 million a year premium incentive firm. His experience has led him to a variety of products, retailers, manufacturers and factories. Enter DeCavi Corp.
As the founder of DeCavi Corp, Jim has helped thousands of inventors and start-ups learn how to get their products developed and presented to major retailers. Jim continues to broaden his reach into the world of consumer products and has formed DeBetta Enterprises which is a private consultancy that coaches and advises inventors and entrepreneurs on everything from manufacturing to sales and marketing of consumer products.
Jim is a Patron of the United Inventors Association, a member of the Georgia Inventor's Association, Rocky Mountain Inventors Association, and co-hosts the Launch Hour – a radio program for inventors and entrepreneurs. He is also an author and has written hundreds of articles for industry publications, newspapers and websites such as Inventor's Digest, Georgia Magazine, and Entrepreneur Magazine. Jim also appears as a guest speaker for various trade and consumer organizations, speaks at international conferences and hosts forum and blog discussions on leading invention and entrepreneurial websites.
At INPEX, Jim will address the inventors and share his experience and explain how to prepare your product for retail sale, what to say to retail buyers to get them interested in your product, what to do when you are in a meeting with a retail buyer and what to do when the meeting is over. If you are "market ready" or near market ready with your product, this is a must attend session to learn the basics of how to prepare and deliver a presentation to retail buyers.
