Benjamin Harrison
LinkedIn Licensing Expert / SmartPitch Creator
Bainbridge Island, Pacific Northwest
Benjamin Harrison is a lifelong artist, entrepreneur, product developer, and writer who’s passion for helping other creatives harness their skills in order to bring their ideas to market is obvious.
After growing up around and working in the construction industry, Benjamin went on to cofound a boutique instrument shop where he eventually designed product lines for top musicians and multiple Grammy award winning artists ( including one who has been nominated for 12 and walked alway with 5 ).
While producing and venturing jaw dropping high end instruments, Benjamin started learning about licensing from his mentor Stephen Key. As a result of working through the many obstacles of getting his product ideas into massive companies for licensing purposes, he mastered new skill sets which led him to co-write “Licensing Ideas using LinkedIn” with Stephen Key as well as to create the program “SmartPitch” for inventRight, where he inspires students in learning the art of using LinkedIn to get their ideas into companies.
Benjamin's Testimonials
LinkedIn has become the #1 way for inventors and product developers to get their ideas into companies. If you want to learn how to leverage the power of LinkedIn to get in, SmartPitch is a must!
Benjamin Harrison is the master of LinkedIn marketing and connections. I used to think that LinkedIn was only a tool for getting a job, that is, until I ran across some videos from Benjamin. Benjamin taught me that having a professional profile that sells "yourself" and your credibility is instrumental in making valuable connections on this ever widening business platform.
Getting in contact with crucial people within companies is getting harder and harder, but not anymore. Benjamin has really cracked the code and and has taught me how use LinkedIn to introduce my inventions to the people within the industry that are looking to license new ideas, and at the same time, make truly worthwhile connections. Thanks Benjamin! Keep up the great work!
Future Smart Pitch is awesome! It provides sound concepts and reasoning, then gives easy instructions to follow. I highly recommend this course so you can get the most out of what LinkedIn has to offer.
Wow, what a great course! Benjamin’s in-depth knowledge of LinkedIn is impressive. I had only scratched the surface with LinkedIn and without your course, I don’t think I would ever get any real traction with my open innovation efforts. Thanks for putting all this together. I’m excited to see what I can accomplish with what I’ve learned. Very much appreciated!
Benjamin Harrison is a master at teaching others how to effectively use LinkedIn to help license your ideas. His tips have helped me contact my potential licensees in a practical and professional manner. I highly recommend his course and the inventright mentoring program for anyone who has the motivation and determination to take their novel idea from a thought to the marketplace.
The SmartPitch program, and more specifically Benjamin Harrison, have produced some of the best insights into digital marketing via LinkedIn I have ever encountered. I have only just begun my career as an open innovation product designer, but I have 25 years of experience in sales and marketing, education, and distance support. Benjamin is by far the most engaging, entertaining, and knowledgeable instructor I have had the pleasure to work with (and I really feel like we work together, rather than just being lectured to). He is humble and open while maintaining the authority he has earned in this subject area.
The course he has written is plainly and simply fantastic; it's informative, well structured, easy to understand, and most of all fill of useful, practical, and valuable advice. I can't sing his praise highly enough, but the fact that the entire SmartPitch course is an inclusive part of the already phenomenal inventright bootcamp program is just too much added value to calculate. I look forward to keeping a great working relationship with everyone at inventRight for years to come, but especially Benjamin Harrison, and I know that many other people in the months and years to come will feel the same.
I went from 217 to 701 connections in one day and got my sell sheet into a company that’s in 100,000 stores. Smart Pitch really works!
Benjamin has a Fantastic teaching style and has jam-packed his course with a ton of great info. He has a knack for keeping one captivated and wanting more!
Super huge thanks Benjamin! I ‘knew’ of LinkedIn before. Now I “KNOW” LinkedIn!!! Mind blown at all there was to learn. I appreciate you creating this as well as putting it out there for us to use and learn from. It was really good! Now to reach out to all of the companies I’ve connected with. Cover me , I’m going in!!!
“My mind is blown ( in a great way ). This is the most practical, hands-on course on the subject that I’ve had the pleasure of taking. Thanks you so much!
