ventor’s Coaching Services

 Fact: You decided to pursue developing and making money with your inventions because you’re good at what you do.

 Great!

 But to be financially successful, you and your inventions have got to get to the marketplace as soon as possible and in the right configuration.

 This is called marketing, and it’s what we’re good at doing!

 If you need help with the business side of your invention marketing efforts, we now provide coaching services specifically for inventors

 We’re currently offering telephone and e-mail coaching services to support your needs and would like to offer them to you.

 Here are the areas where we can support your efforts:

•  Define and focus in on specifically what you want to accomplish

•  Explore the full range of business, manufacturing, licensing, and marketing options and select the one(s) that are appropriate for your time, budget, and targeted market

•  Help you develop a task schedule and budget to accomplish your stated objectives

 Right now you’re probably asking yourself: This stuff costs money so why don’t I just do it myself?

 Good question and the answer is probably that you have too much to do and can’t seem to focus on your business and marketing efforts.

 Sound familiar?

 If the answer is yes, you’re not alone because that’s the primary problem that most creative people have today – they’re swamped with all the technical and development things that need to be handled immediately and the business and marketing efforts are getting ignored.

 Unfortunately, if you don’t address the business and marketing concerns today, you won’t ever get your innovations to market.

 Do what you’re good at and hire the rest!

 For as simple as that seems, we’re all guilty of ‘trying to do it all ourselves’ and now, with the tight economy, it just seems to make more sense – or does it?

 Just because the economy got tight you didn’t suddenly get better at doing something that you weren’t good at before – did you?

 So just because you have less money to work with, why do you suddenly think that you’re going to be able to do something well that you’ve never done before?

 This is especially true when you consider all the rest of the things that you have to do in order to keep the business afloat.

 Don’t be a starving artist!

 Artists don’t usually starve because they’re bad artists; they starve because they don’t have paying clients for their work!

 And even though you’re probably not an artist, the analogy is still true because the bottom line for all new innovative ideas is that if you don’t get paying business for your innovations, you’re not going to have any business to do! Period!

 Our invention coaching services can help you to:

•  Define/narrow in what you what to accomplish

•  Make a pros and cons list describing the specific course of action you are considering.

How do we work together?

•  Once you make the decision to work with me as your coach, we decide how often to meet via telephone.

•  We’ll sign a legally binding confidentiality agreement that states that everything we discuss is confidential and that any ideas, whether you come up with them, or we come with them individually or collectively during the sessions, are your property.

•  Generally the more often we meet, the quicker that you will see results.

•  We then schedule regular coaching calls, where you will call me at a pre-arranged time.

•  By using new technology that we’ve recently installed, we can actually view drawings, contracts, PowerPoint™ slides, and other materials on each other’s computers during the coaching sessions.

What if I still have questions?

Please contact me to set up an initial coaching consultation and request the confidentiality agreement so you can ask whatever questions you have.

Once we’ve set up the first tele-coaching session, I’m going to ask you three questions to get the ball rolling:

1. What do you want to accomplish?

2. When do you want it completed

3. What resources will you commit to make it a success?

Remember that the more detailed the answers are, the faster I can help you achieve your goals.

Okay, I’m ready, what’s it going to cost me?
