Mission and Vision About John Balsam Associates

"You have performed two independent market studies for our Peripheral Blade Mower—the first one focused on the mower’s primary target market, and the second one exploring several promising secondary opportunities. In both cases, the research results were detailed and right on target. The findings included new data and contacts for us to pursue. Without question, these reports contributed to our successful sales efforts, and I would gladly refer other technology developers to you for market assessment services."
-John Darden, President, Peripheral Mower, Inc.
