There is so much work, so many aspects bringing a product to market. But what do you do when somebody starts ordering your product? For this week's HomeTalkUSA "Invent America" segment, Michael King and co-host Rita Crompton discuss "Challenges of Fulfillment" with inventors Ron Matson (Blue Viper Trenching Shovel) & Dave Fegel (Seal-It Clean Can Solutions), joined by our industry expert Matt Ortega, VP of AWESUNG Sales Fulfillment & Logistics Services.

Rita Crompton, known as "The Inventor Lady," is an industry expert with decades of experience helping innovators develop their ideas into sellable products. Her knowledge and expertise covers all aspects of the invention process - patents and trademarks, engineering and manufacturing, crowdfunding, marketing and selling, and licensing. Ms. Crompton has helped inventors bring to market everything from full size functioning tractors to baby products - there's a reason she's called "The Inventor Lady."

For more than a decade, however, his knowledge and expertise as a general contractor have been put to use by hosting the nationally syndicated television and radio program HomeTalkUSA.
