Dawnbreaker Webinars Feature Valuable Insight For Small Businesses Looking To Commercialize Technology

ROCHESTER, NY (January 18, 2019) – Dawnbreaker, Inc. is set to host several webinar series over the next few months and they all share the common theme of helping small high-tech businesses to transition technology. The Prime Contractor Series, Commercialization Series, and the Agency Series will give small businesses the tools they need to develop key contacts, find appropriate markets, and partner with large corporations.

“With our panel of experts and guests hosts we’ve lined up from both government and industry, we want to provide a valuable resource for those who may have gone through the federal SBIR/STTR programs but aren’t sure what to do next,” explains Dr. Jenny C. Servo, President of Dawnbreaker. “From how to talk to potential customers to how to partner with the largest defense prime contractor in the world, we aim to cover all the relevant topics.”

Developing Network Contacts (DevNC)

When you need to reach out...

There are times when you need to reach out to others – whether you are looking for potential customers, potential partners, or potential investors. But who should you call…and how do you address your fear of contacting them. The DevNC is a unique market research tool designed to provide you with between 25 and 30 Points of Contact (PoC). With each POC, information is included that provides insight about the person’s role. Depending on their position, other information commonly included relates to their background, articles that they have written, conference presentations and other pertinent information. This type of information enables you to customize your correspondence. Contact information is also included  – typically LinkedIn, email and phone number.

Your customers know your competitors! Do you?

Learn about the competition and be prepared to differentiate your solution from that of others. Dawnbreaker’s competitor analysis contrasts your competition on specifications, performance and price. Armed with this information we can help you create a compelling value proposition.
