For Sale By Inventor

I am looking into selling a cannabis smoking device. This company, For Sale By Inventor, in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, said they might be interested in helping me with this entrepreneurial project. They assist inventors with management consulting and financing. Their Senior Project Director, Jim Jackson, called me and said they might be interested in my invention. So far so good. Jim and I talked over the next few days about our past experiences smoking and toking and whatnot, his days in the Height-Ashbury district of San Francisco in the 60s, and the growth of the marijuana industry. He seemed to understand the potential of my idea and thought his company would be interested in getting financing for my venture. But there was one thing I noticed about him. He would call 6-7 times a day to discuss this project. He seemed to think that I really didn't have much else to do but talk to him and work on my plans for this business! Not only was I dealing with him but also taking care of my 94-year-old mother, doing the household chores, working on my writing biz, etc. So if I missed one of his calls he would complain to me. As the days passes he told me all kinds of crap like he couldn't get through to me on the phone, he left a message but didn't hear back, he got a busy signal, and so on and so on. He seemed to believe that my only job at that point was to cater to him.

The last day of our "association' was a Saturday. He had called multiple times on Friday and when we spoke on Saturday his attitude and demeanor had changed. He was upset that we didn't talk Friday. He accused me of being unprofessional and unmotivated. I was about to explain that I had to take care of some personal stuff with my mom the previous day but never got the chance. He became upset and said his company had no interest in my idea. He hung up. This all took place over the course of 3-4 days. Companies that are truly professional don't go from, "Hey, you've got a good idea and we can help" to "Don't waste my time!" in 4 days. For Sale By Inventor is a pathetic group of losers and Jim Jackson is an infantile little twit. Don't listen to anything they try to sell you. But there is a silver lining to all of this. It's because of screw-ups like these that I have decided to use my writing business for investigative reporting and consumer issues. See you on the web.
