We created a showerhead that uses only 5 litres of water / shower. Sounds impossible? Our 5L non-CO2 Showerhead solution makes it possible for people to enjoy a refreshing shower, using only 5 liters of water and less energy than a computer uses in an hour. This is a dramatic 90%+ reduction in the average consumption when taking a shower. I am the inventor, cofounder also responsible for business development.Incubator: Climate KIC (Birmingham, UK)

Our slogen: „Every roads lead to you, we bring your clients in front of your door”NaviPro provides richPoi solution into GPS databases. I bought the german rights from the hungarian headquarter. The idea behind the richPOIs is to create a presence into different GPS navigation systems with extended info (photo, name, opening hours and short description) for the merchants as never before.Experience:In the first round we created a street marketing structure in the hungarian market which contain: 5 steps. We tested and accomplished this technique finally we trained our employees. This is the technique I took to Germany with myself.

To experience how to make it work was also big challenge.Results:In Hungary:2-300 new clients/ monthIn Germany:More than 1500 business clients in hotel, restaurant, auto, retail category.

These promotion CDs were given in excibitons for foreign visitors.We have worked with local governments, small and medium-sized enterprises and large companies alike.The Széchenyi Enterprise Development Program were announced by the Ministry of Economy and Transport that we applied. Therefore we handled more than 1700 companies and their applications. The winner companies (185) -due the system I implemented- were able to obtain free promotional website, that we sponosred from the amount we got by the Ministries.We applied with the biggest amout of application ever in Hungary in this program.We were able to handle properly a large amount of visitors which contains: basic information, tender documents writing, administration, replacement of any missing documents, providing valueable information for customers who haven’t got any knowledge about websites to help them decide what they want, what they need.Experince:Building and implementing a new product into the hungarian marketRecruit, train and build the telesales teamDirect marketing e-mails and faxesSales and resales for new and exsisting clientsTender writingResults:More than 300 regular and satisfied clients (Hungarian Tourism Office, Chello, T-home, Mol, Kraft Food, SSI- Schafer)Handling 1700 Companies185 won tender and 70% of them received the maximum supported amount.40M avarage income / year

My main duty was to sell CD-ROMs (Magyar Nemzet Története, Biológia, Játékválogatások) by direct (street) marketing.Since I made a significant sales I had a chance to start a distributor network and run it. At the beginning I brought smaller shops, IT stores, book stores (Alexandra, Libri, Líra és Lant) later I went for a bigger challenge to get Tesco, Cora, Auchan, MediaMarkt, Metro onboard. They all put our product into their store and sold them on the main rows.Other duties included: • business development • aquiring new domestic and foreign editors, • publishing and distribution rights acquisition• finding new products • coordination of the designers and programmers, • supervision of the printing and packaging, • product’s marketing activities.
