April’s Testimonials
I came to inventRight as a traditionally trained product designer, not entirely sure if a 6 month, 1 on 1 coaching package was right for me. However April quickly zeroed in on where I was in the 10 steps and we focused on those areas of weakness in my own inventing process. With her guidance I feel like I became a professional inventor in addition to being a professional designer, which was one of my major goals with this program. Specifically, I honed my ability to ‘get in’ to companies, how to respond to tricky back and forth communications with my target companies (great scripts helped a lot) and also how to contact many more companies than I was previously contacting. While I did not land my first licensing deal, I am certain that by incorporating the new knowledge gained through my wonderful coach April, and the inventRight system, I will soon make it happen.
Before we joined the inventRight Community, we were constantly starting and stopping projects without getting anything accomplished. We were assigned to April and she was the perfect coach for us. She helped streamline our ideas and taught us how to get a project done from start to stop. She is an amazing out of the box thinker and really takes the time to look at all angles of a project. I feel like we picked up a lot on her process and learned so much that we are actually confident now that we can bring our ideas to life. We completed three projects with her, and although our time with her is up, we can move forward successfully on anything else we want to do. She is a wonderful, fun, and friendly person and we would recommend her to anyone thinking about joining the inventRight Coaching Program!
April always has a smile and is so eager to help. She is very Professional and knows what she is doing and talking about. She is always on time for our meetings. April Gives Great Advice Always!!!!!
