After talking with a few Companies,I get the inpression
that some companies do not like inventors at all.

They seem to think that if there Company did not think of the idea than it is no good at all.Others feel like inventors are just pain in the butt Crackpots or Conmen.
I blam some of this on the invention Scam Companies out there.At times I feel like giving up.Has anyone else felt like this??

If you do use a Toy Broker, Inventor Submission firm,etc make sure you read everything carefully before you sign. The royalty split is across the board depending on their contract. I have seen them go as high as 25/75 with the broker getting 75%.

Did anyone here every hire a sales person to sell their idea for them? Seems like selling the idea is the hard part?

You must have a plan when approaching companys, pick out the top few and start there. Do some homework each one you intend to submit you idea to. Find out first if they are making money, because if there are about to go under they are not going to be looking new ideas. Make shure the idea you want to submit to them will fit in there product line. Then find out what there process is for new idea submissions and follow there guide lines, also try to get a contact name for new idea submissions. Prepair your submission with cover letter, photos, video dvd, and patent info.
Some companys will not talk to you if you don’t have a patent!!!! OR at least a patent pending.
last but not least be persistant!!!! this is not easy but when you hit that first home run it will all have been worth it.!!!!!!!
