Johan Molin, President and CEO of ASSA ABLOY."We live in a 24/7 age and these days you can log on to most supermarket websites and enquire about products and potential orders very late at night. By contrast, car dealers still have a nine-to-five mindset and they're missing out as a result. Dealers are failing to manage high volumes of potential sales opportunities because they are ill-equipped to handle even the most basic enquiries outside standard opening hours.""This tool was 'over there,' or in the toolbox 'down there.'" Ellis said."FlexiForce adds a new and very important distribution channel to sectional

opportunities to develop even closer relationships with our customers.

The program takes a nontraditional approach - teaching students the steps required to take an idea to the marketplace."John's Hide-N-Side storage system takes full advantage of space every home has and up until his invention, (was) not considered for storage," said Sean Griffin, TCC Entrepreneurial program director. "Now everyone can create more space to store their tools, crafts and supplies."Usually, they will have researched for some considerable time before they attempt to make direct contact with the dealer."From raising capital to hiring employees and opening for business, TCC's Launch Flight II participants have accomplished significant things in a fast 16 weeks," said McKeon. "These dynamic small businesses are anxious to contribute to Tulsa's economy."Now, Ellis is looking for Tulsa companies and manufacturers to sign a licensing agreement in order to market his idea. He has received little response from phone calls so far, but he's not discouraged.
"I want to find a Tulsa company to make this, but if I do not find one within six months, I'll go outside Tulsa," Ellis said. "It is just a matter of time."
