About The Linus Group
The Linus Group helps companies sell more effectively to scientists. We believe that the innate skepticism of the scientist make traditional marketing efforts a waste of time. Instead, we have developed a marketing model that harnesses the natural curiosity of the scientist, and then pays off that curiosity with relevant detail to allow them to draw their own conclusions. It's a powerful model, and is explained in our founder's new book, Persuading Scientists, available at Amazon.
