Mike Todd Productions

Are you doing everything possible to grow your wholesale or manufacturing business but need something more for that critical breakthrough? Your company is producing the best possible product in your market but competition is tough. Finding more than incremental bottom line gains is elusive.

There is a way to expand your business reach. Putting you ahead of your competition.

Businesses like yours have found a way to break through that barrier to achieve significant gains in profitability. Tapping into what for many is the hidden marketplace. Businesses out there looking for your products or services.

The way to those hidden marketplaces is through the acquisition of a widely recognized certification. It will quickly open those doors you do not even know are there.

It is a relatively simple process with a typically rapid ROI. We perform the heavy lifting so you keep focused on what your company does best.

Is it worth a discussion?  Just to see if it is a fit?

The site name is from an embedded childhood memory. When I was ten years old away from home at a cub scout meeting one of my fellow cubs told me he heard my dad was killed in a plane crash (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Todd). Fortunately, the resulting trauma was short lived as not long after that ‘news’ my parents arrived to pick me up. Needless to say, the event stuck with me for a while. What also kept this event alive in ensuing years was the fairly frequent question about whether Liz Taylor was my mom.  Every once in a while I still get ‘kidded’ about the ersatz connection.

The Wiki link reveals that the movie producer (Liz’s third of seven husbands) adopted the name Mike Todd from his given name, Avrom Hirsch Goldbogen. He was quite the character!

There is also Mary Todd Lincoln who was thought to be a long lost relative. What I learned in on-again, off-again research over 15+ years is…we are not. My dad’s side of the family had several ‘farms’ around Frankfort, KY (although my dad did not see any of them as he grew up in SC) while Mary Todd was born in Lexington.

My background includes some minor connection to the entertainment community. Except my role was as an investigative journalist for a very successful small radio station South of Seattle. It was 1220 on the dial, KASY. Quite a few of my stories were carried by the Associated Press. Perhaps I may recount some of those later.

 

The focus:  business and business development. In large part, the focus is on how a wholesale or manufacturing business can enter the international marketplace cost effectively with very little disruption to operations.

The goal: providing useful, relevant information from national-international sources as well as my own experience. My background includes business ownership for over 16 years with a focus on international trade, business IT security and, energy management systems.

The rest of the story:  Musings about everything from life to politics, to hobbies (cars in particular), to travel, to…well, just about everything. This will be in a separate section of this blog.
