My wife and I have a provisional patent for sale/license. We've researched possible companies on the internet and mailed them about their interest(over 300 so far). A few have responded and signed non-disclosures and we're awaiting their response. Is there anything we're not doing right or a quicker way to go about this?

Hi, perhaps you can try Google adwords to market your service/product.
Google adwords is a text-based system for advertising on its site and its partner sites. The service allows you to create your own ads, choose keywords to help match your ads to your audience, and control the cost of your advertising—you pay only when people click on your ad (a cost per click plan). Anyone wishing to promote a product on Google can enroll in this program.
you can get a 5 detail pages information about Google adwords at :
