Old Doghouse Designer Learns New Tricks From Leading Entrepreneurs

It can’t be that hard getting a product to market, can it?

The answer to that questions is YES and NO. Like most things in life, it’s not what you know, it’s who you know. And being in the know at a show like IBI Global is like winning the lottery. The impressive array of talent that you can find in one single location is astounding. Really.

IBI Global as a twenty year history of providing The Ultimate Trade Show on the planet, building customers and capital. “IBI is a cross between and MBA in a week, and a transaction rich trade show to develop customers, capital or other resources.” —  Jay Abraham, who FForbes Magazine listed as one of the top 5 executive coaches in the country saying Jay’s specialty is, “Turning corporate underperformers into marketing and sales whizzes.”

When Karl Krieg, founder of Leifers pet retreat homes, decided to take his concept from the kitchen table to the world, he did a lot of research on where he would find what he didn’t know about manufacturing, brining products to market, raising capital, etc. “There are about a zillion sources and resources out there that say they can help, but when I met Bernie Dohrmann and saw the people who he brings in to teach, mentor and advise, I knew IBI Global was the place for me.”
