Mission and Vision About John Balsam Associates

John, your company’s market assessment of our technology, Low-Energy Alternative to Silica-Based Glass Fibers, was detailed, easy to grasp, and presented in an unbiased manner. Not only did the research help our understanding of the technology’s commercial potential, but it also uncovered industry contacts that we previously did not have. Since receiving the report, we have used it to help attract additional research support. It has also proved useful in our efforts to license our technology.

I can’t thank you enough for the research your company prepared for us on the commercial potential of our High-Frequency Eddy-Current Separator. We appreciate how clear and easy to understand the report was, and it provided details regarding our market that were new to us. We used the findings to re-assess and re-configure our commercialization plans. Further, we believe your research report will clearly be a factor in our attracting a commercial partner. Because of all your attention to details in this study, we would gladly refer others to your firm’s services.

I wanted to follow up and thank you for the market research you recently performed for Haun Labs’ unique process of Manufacturing Ceramic Tile From Waste Glass. The final report helped confirm our own assessment of this technology’s potential, but it also enhanced our understanding of our market segments and how to approach them. Most important to me is that the objectivity of the report helped us attract additional research support and even some early investment capital. Your involvement as the market research arm of our efforts has been extremely valuable, and we appreciate your input very much. Thanks again.

-Michael Haun, President, Haun Labs

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.

Thanks again for the recent study performed on the commercial potential of our Improved Alkylation Contractor technology. Prior to your study, I thought we had a good understanding of our technology’s potential. Your final report helped confirm the things we knew, and for this alone, it was useful. But the report also enhanced our understanding in some ways that were not previously known to us. This added detail was helpful to our recent success in finding a buyer of the technology, so again, we very much appreciate your efforts.
