WI Food Drive: 3 bags
There is been a HUGE response for The Go 2 Girlz to pitch women's inventions! Yay!
As exciting as that is, it is also a eye opener - there is an obvious void here! Women need a voice to get their product recognized without "giving away" their precious invention (or "baby" as many say) and Stacey and I are thrilled to help fill that void!
We would love to pitch every single invention that came across our desk but are restricted to only two inventions. Those inventions have been selected. However, Stacey and I are trying to get a meeting with Anthony Sullivan to show him all the other submissions.
Either way, The Go 2 Girlz are in full swing! When the Pitchmen casting call is rapped up, we will officially be launching our business of pitching women's inventions! Keep an eye on our website to get the latest and most accurate info. www.thego2girlz.com.
Enough about me, what's going on with you? :)
FYI...
ReplyDeleteKevin Harrington: The Learning Annex "Make Money Expo" in San Francisco, NOV 7th. I'll be speaking & you can pitch me LIVE!! Sign up: www.learningannex.com
Ok girls, it's so quiet on the blog that I can hear crickets!
ReplyDeleteWhat's going on? Did you ladies get a call and have been sworn to secrecy? :)
If that is the case, post under anonymous and let us know!
Hope you're having a happy Halloween!!!
Got an email from Milojo yesterday apologizing for the delay...promising to get back to semi-finalists within 4-6 weeks. My sense is that they are probably still developing the show's format. Not too much else was said. (No one from either Discovery, TLC or Milojo has ever asked that communications be kept secret). Happy Halloween to you, too, Tracy!

Tracy,
ReplyDeleteThat must have felt a little surreal being in the other guys shoes and having to choose from all the interested WI that responded to your offer to pitch their inventions? I know if it were me it would give me a perspective on what they go through having to chose. We do understand though your hands were tied you were limited and not much you can do about that. I too am curious what thego2girls chose to represent. Being beat out yet again. ;-) Reallly though I am grateful cuz it made me tweak my invention yet again and brought about a change to my product that will make it easier to produce, will use less pakaging and will ultimately cost less to produce as well. So i thank the go2girlz for that Eureka moment that would not have come about if I wasn't trying to get it ready to ship to you. I wish you the best with your pitches Wed. and with your chance to show Sully that the Go2girlz can deliver!!
Mary,
ReplyDeleteStacey and I were talking about you the other night and how everything happens for a reason. We think it's wonderful that through this process, you had your Eureka moment and we wish you all the success you deserve! When you have a working prototype, let us know and keep us updated on your new and improved invention!
I think what you're doing with Go2girlz is nearly equally as exciting as pitching your own product. It allows you to be totally objective in selecting what you believe might fly and from that perspective the pitch is probably coming from a less emotional/more intellectual viewpoint. I think the whole idea is brilliant! Lots of luck, ladies. And may I ask, has NO ONE else received the email that I received on Friday?!?! That doesn't seem possible as it was addressed to "Ladies" -(although the actually distribution list was not visable). If anyone else received it, please do share. There is a comfort in knowing I'm not out here alone. Thanks. #16
ReplyDeleteHi #16,
ReplyDeleteYes, I also received the the email. At least they are keeping us more in the loop now! I also asked Christina to clarify a few things. She said that they were still deciding who would be called back. If called back, you will have to pitch your idea to TLC AND HSN. Four to six more weeks ladies!YIKES!

Hello I too received the E-Mail on Friday. Have a great day! #3
ReplyDeleteHey #9 did you ask Christina if everyone of the semifinalist received a executed contract? If so did she say what that means??? #3
ReplyDeleteHi #3,
ReplyDeleteI did not ask her that. I guess I assumed that all of the semi-finalists received contracts?! I really think that they did because if chosen to come back everyone will have to pitch their inventon again, but i see what your saying. I asked her a few more specific qauestions so lets see if she is able to answer them.
