The Franklin Forge

I ask them for a reference of their success and they could not give me even one company. Jeffrey Wilkins just goes off on a sales pitch about "not every company is a success. There are x number of million patents so I can't guarantee you a success." Ok, fine. I understand. Tell me one success you have. Answer, "oh, you obviously have a problem with me". MY OPINION is that this is company is a scam. Buyer beware. caveat emptor. It makes no sense why these guys can't give you one success, one reference, one successful case where they have taken something, marketed and gotten a success story. Zilch, notta. No references or success stories on their website either at the time of this review.

BEWARE these companies receive a list of new patents and go after like a lawyer chasing an ambulance ,I got offers for sevices before I was notified my patent was issued Franklin Forge was different in that they claimed to reject percent of potential clients everything seemed positive until companys responded wanting to know what made my product different than others on market .I had to explain to them myself via e mail ,seems Jeffery didnt know the obvious points that set our product apart from others ,I suggested using my info website but he gave me some mumbo jumbo about the domane ,needless to say we didint get any more responce ,I had suggested doing some follow up with all companys that had initaily responded .it would seem that they were not willing to do any more my contract has since expired and I got no results

I'm writing this Review because when I first started looking for a business to help me with my invention I was not sure who are what company to trust. I can say not to trust the big business. I made that mistake only one time and yes it cost me. So I found Franklin forge online but I wasn't able to find any good and only one bad review with this business. I but all my trust in the B.B.B A+ rating and gave them a call. As of today I have a paten for my Invention. It went very well It took time to have all this done but will worth it only (3 mounts). We will be starting on the marketing next week. This is the fun part. I haven't made money from this invention yet. But I do feel that its a job will done and I will be rolling in the $ soon. I will wright again when it happens.
