More details to this question:
I am pitching business idea to big businesses in hope they will hire me on as contract labor. What I am afraid of is ALL have said, "that is a good ideal and it needs to be out there and no one is doing it..." and ending with, "We'll think about it and get back to you." But, I haven't heard back...afraid I will lose out on what is obviously needed! Any suggestions to protect what I am bringing to the table? (It is a new training that will save big $)

It is probably too late now, but what you could have done is have anyone to whom you were going to make a presentation sign an agreement beforehand that they will not use any of the ideas you present and will keep them confidential unless you agree otherwise. Also, to the extent that your ideas involve any trademarks, copyrights, and/or patents, you could have registered them.
