I bought the Inventright kit about a month ago, and I gotta tell you, I couldn’t be happier. The cd’s are very informative, a great starting point especially for the first-time inventor like myself, but the real value lies in the year of free phone calls you get for no extra charge. As Stephen walks you through the process on the CD’s, if you’re confused about anything at all, you can simply pick up the phone and call Stephen and Andrew.

…And that’s another thing, you actually get Stephen and Andrew. The first time I called, I left a message and received a return call that same evening at 9:30 PM EST from Andrew, which turned into an extremely informative 20 minute conversation in which Andrew critiqued and helped me to improve my sell sheet, as well as giving me clear and concise directions as to what specifically I should do next. The second time I called I got Stephen himself.

Stephen and Andrew really take the fear out of the whole process, which seemed daunting, if not insurmountable before I bought the kit.

If I added up all the money I paid in commission splits to senior agents and greedy brokerages to learn the ins and outs of becoming a successful NYC real estate agent, my current job, it would easily reach into the tens of thousands of dollars, if not more.

For what Stephen and Andrew give you in value, not to mention the countless hours and money I would have almost certainly wasted fumbling my way blindly in the dark, flying by the seat of my pants, believe me…four hundred dollars is quite literally nothing.

Thank You Stephen and Andrew. You are truly doing a beautiful thing.

Be Well,

I have attended one of Stephen Key’s seminars and purchased the DREAM INVENT SUCCEED book and CD that covers the “10 Steps To Invention Success” I will tell you it was the BEST MONEY SPENT.

I have been designing and inventing for years, and I am always learning. Listening to Stephen was just confirming what I have been doing for years…Keep the process simple.

The “10 Steps To Invention Success” is a MUST read. The process is broken down into Steps that makes it simple to follow and gives you a roadmap to Success.

While I was listening to Stephen and his Process…I just kept nodding my head “YES” “YES” “YES”.

I have followed these Basic Steps for years in my own Product Developing and Inventing process, but Stephen puts it into a very Easy To Follow Process.

Product Developing, Inventing, Patenting, and Licensing, has been my life, and I have made $Millions …YOU CAN TOO!!!

If there are others who have a bit of doubt as to whether or not they should use the system headed by Stephen Key then I would say go for it! The system will show you great ways to get your ideas for new consumer products to be evaluated and considered in the actual marketplace. Being a student under the inventRight system will baby step you through to become confident to take the appropriate avenues to succeed with your idea, even if you are starting out without any experience at all.

Personally, I started this past July in 2008 and since then have made many submissions with the products and ideas that have been lingering around my head for years. The best thing is that it shows you how to go after these ideas without a great deal of financial risk because, let’s face it; not everyone has the money to dip into financing new inventions with the high cost of patent searches and applications themselves.

You can even go on youtube and find some success stories from Stephen Key’s method if you just type his name in.

I’ll give you a good example of the aid that they offer:
I, like many others, have questions pertaining to the product that I am pursuing, so, I gave Stephen a call to ask him a few questions. Upon the first call, he was there ready to openly discuss and answer any question that I had about the product and how to go about it. We spent about a half an hour discussing different topics and aspects that I was unsure of. Not only that, but he also offered great personal insight to the design of the product itself, ideas about it that I hadn’t thought of, techniques to further protect the product, and even sent over a list of companies with contact information for each company that fell into the category that my product is in.

How can you beat that?

inventRight is interested in getting these ideas to spark and for their students to take charge and succeed with their products. They take a personal interest to anyone that is there with questions. I highly recommend them to anyone who thinks that they have a good idea.

Keep up the good work!

I purchased the InventRight “10 Steps to Invention Success” program while attending one of our local Minnesota Inventors Networks training seminars about a year and a half ago. Stephen was the guest speaker for the day, and presenting his material for all who attended. His down to earth ability to communicate with the group made it a very enjoyable day of learning and networking. Stephen Key is the “Real Deal”

Since purchasing the program, I have had the privilege to talk with both Stephen and InventRight co-founder Andrew Krauss about various projects and topics, and have found both of them very helpful and accessible. Stephen and the InventRight Team is first class in my book. The InventRight System is very helpful and easy to follow. I highly recommend both experienced and first time inventors purchase this program. If your interested in fast tracking your ideas, this is the product for you. This is an extremely helpful resource.

Go get it!

Money well spent from my perspective.

Inventing is a way of life for me, make it yours as well.

I recently purchased the invent right program and I highly recommend it. They have 1st hand experience and are eager to help. They are more helpful than I expected. Everyone one else I spoke with wants thousands of dollars upfront and a percent of any royalties. These guys are helpful, cheap and don’t want future payments. If you have an idea, let them help. Mistakes will cost you in this industry. You can talk with them before you buy about anything. They are very accessable and will lay out the process very simply.

I consider Stephen Key to be the father of product development. He has developed a wealth of knowledge on bringing a product to market, and is eager to share his expertise with those who have a strong desire to learn. It is no surprise that Stephen is as successful as he is. I could never thank him enough for all that he has taught me. Stephen Key is a mentor to me and has consulted with me on all steps of licensing a product many times over. Each time I have called he has answered both my calls and my questions. I remember the first time I spoke with Stephen over a year ago following a teleseminar where he actually gave his number out. I was very hesitant to call but by the end of the day I grew enough courage to speak with The Stephen Key. He told me I was the only person who actually called in all day! I had so many questions and he patiently listened to them and then answered them all. I am 22 years old and I have learned more through Stephen’s guidance and inventRight program about patenting, licensing, selling and talking with upper level employees than I have my last four years at college or ever. At times it has been stressful, overwhelming and depressing this licensing game but with every returned email or call there is that indescribable rush of excitment of closing the deal. Frost said it best, “two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less traveled by and that has made all the difference.” Thank you for all the encouragement and information Stephen.

If you’ve ever considered inventing something for the marketplace, if your creativity leads you in this direction, then I strongly recommend that you seek the advice, coaching and mentorship from Stephen Key and Andrew Krauss of InventRight. I was fortunate enough to be recommended to them by both a highly reputable patent attorney as well as the Sunnyvale Patent Library. The InventRight system, along with their availability, their connections and their passionate enthusiasm to help you move ahead with your project…these guys rock! InventRight is the real deal for all of you product developers out there. Stephen’s successfully licensed dozens of products for the marketplace and has created a solid reputation for himself. He is one of the coolest mentors and guides that I’ve ever worked with. He will help you figure out the right strategy to get your product licensed with the right manufacturer. These guys will coach you through the process of ‘getting into the game!’ And it’s not that tough to get into the game! They offer a great mix of encouragement and no b.s. advice, step by step. They work with you to get to the next step, including providing you with invaluable connections and the insight as to what to expect when you’re there and what to do to keep progressing forward. They know this game, they’ve been through this and know how it works. You can tell when you talk to them! Running their program, I’m now more determined than ever to win and secure our first licensing agreement, then the next, then the next, then the next.

If you have an idea…

and want to take it to market and don’t know how pick up the phone or get online and purchase Stephen Key’s InventRight program, trust me you are getting more then the wealth of useful information from his program you actually get “the man” himself and his professional and customer service friendly staff. I’m as skeptical as the next person buying “How to” programs that promise you the moon – InventRight makes good on all of its promises and then goes the extra mile.

The InventRight program guided my co-inventors and me all the way through product development, patent pending and research on who to contact to bring our idea to market. Then we hit a wall and needed some advice. I hesitated calling, Stephen because I didn’t think his claim of “call me with any questions” was real – well it was very real. When I called Stephen and asked for his advice, his first words were, “Why did you take so long to call me?!”

Since then, Stephen and James his assistant have gone beyond the call of duty to help us and have been the consummate professionals. They have personally helped us navigate through a very large company and get to the right people to set our “product idea” in motion for licensing. Without the InventRight system and more importantly, Stephen’s guidance from his years of experience, we would not be where we are today with our product.

My partners and I can’t thank Stephen and his team at InventRight enough. Stephen offered us more then just good advice and opening doors – he mentored us. A mentor every inventor needs!
Respectfully,

I have been a student of Mr. Key’s for three months now, and have studied the material thoroughly. I was attracted to the idea of licensing my inventions since manufacturing myself would cost ten to one hundred times more money. I would not be able to bring my product to market. Steve and Andrew provide many people like me with the opportunity to get our ideas to the consumers. We need consumers to get excited about new products, so sales go up and the economy turns around. Compared to what it would cost me to bring my products to market, the money that Steve charges is a great alternative. Sure I can buy many how-to books for the price, but I would not get the personal coaching that Steve and Andrew provide.

Stephen and his associate, Andrew Krauss are truly a couple of the “good guys” in this inventing business.

I have a patent pending product that I am in the process of licensing and have purchased the InventRight program to aid in that process. I have over fifteen years of sales experience in the medical diagnotics market but needed a quick education on the basics of how to structure a licensing agreement. My experience with the program and with the prompt and efficient support from both Andrew and Stephen has been very positive and productive. I have found both Andrew and Stephen to be very professional, knowledgeable and helpful. I am another satisfied customer.

I willingly paid the price of the course not only because of the information contained but the one-on-one help provided by Stephen and Andrew. That alone, from people who’ve successfully made money licensing products is worth ten times the price of the course.

I purchased “Invent Right” from Stephen Key about a year ago and found it extremely valuable. My husband and I even had a telephone conference with Andrew which lasted about an hour. We learned alot about the process and the information we gained will stay with us for future ideas and inventions. I think they’re doing a great job with what they offer.

I made the purchase of Mr. Key’s CD’s. Mr. Key was gracious, friendly and honest. He allowed me to make monthly instalments, as I did not have the funds available to me at once. With an offer of a refund if I wasn’t fully satisfied.

I listened to the CD’s and was having trouble personally actualizing the process, at that time I was able to call and get advice from Mr. Key to improve my technique. However, nearly simultaneously I was laid off from my job at Caterpillar and I realised the techniques didn’t meet well with my skill set. Mr. Key at that point refunded me my payment(s) without delay or hindrance. I am pleased with my treatment, and I am willing and eager to recommend him to anyone who is interested in trying to get their thought to market.

As a new InventRight student, I paid for the service not only for the materials and online courses, but for the access to experienced inventors. The ability and luxury to call and have Stephen or Andrew pick up the phone directly over the course of the next year. There is no magic course or secret book that can make someone successful in this business, we gather information from a multitude of places and rely on our own desire, abilities, and advice–and for advice, among other cources, I have chosen Stephen and Andrew.

I have been dealing with inventRight for about three years now. I just called them up one say and start asking question about how to get a product to market. I spoke with Andrew Krauss at the time. Mr. Krauss answered my question, although he knew I was not a student. Well, I figured he answered that question with no problem. So, I continued calling and asking question, and they would help me. I did this for almost a year before becoming a student of inventRight. Neither Stephen or Andrew rejected me. They would always answer me with respect and kindness. That showed me a lot about inventRight. It showed me inventRight was a honest company with integrity. That;s why I became a student. I knew some things about marketing, but after becoming a student of Stephen and Andrew (inventRight), I have companies viewing my products. A company is viewing a prototype of mine right now and considering licensing it. They have it on their sale’s floor for people to view. inventRight is a program that works! You know that’s what God requires of ALL of us, HONESTY and INTEGRITY.

I have spent thousands of dollars patenting and hiring marketing companies, and my wheels just kept right on spinning. Until one day I was HONORED to hear Mr. keys speak at the Minnesota Inventors Congress, man I thought he was great!! I called Stephen two times after that day to see if it was all talk or if I really meant anything to him. He returned one and Andrew returned the other call answering all the questions I had. I bought the Invent Right package and became a STUDENT, learning as much as I possibly could about how to bring an idea to the market place. I would recommend Invent Right to everybody. Money well spent!! THANKS STEPHEN AND ANDREW!!

I have purchased the Inventright course, and think it is one of the BEST investments I have ever made. The information in the first chapter is worth more than the cost of the course.

I sent off for my first inventor submission packet when I was 11years old. Even at that age I knew how to spot a cock of hooey.

When a national retailer suggested that I license my invention to a manufacturer with a full product line I had to learn how. My search turned up Stephen Key. His advice sounded great! But, he was selling a course so I discredited it.

I engaged a manufacturer and got in way over my head. Desperate, I called Stephen Key who gave me irrefutably good advice. I realized not even my trusted patent attorney had given advice as profitable. It was that realization that made me purchase the course.

As a student (customer as you say) Stephen coached me through my first licensing deal. He helped me to see and walk away from a potentially bad deal and into the perfect deal. He gave me the confidence to stand my ground through conference calls with the CEO and CFO of a major manufacturer, something I desperately lacked. He helped me realize my life long dream of becoming a successful inventor.

Have I made millions? Not yet, but I have saved thousands. I got guaranteed royalties on my first deal thanks to Stephen so I’m in the black and the ink’s not even dry yet. I’m now embarking on another invention and I’m excited to do it the Inventright way. More than that, I’m excited to work with Stephen again.

Every time I call, I speak personally to Andrew or Stephen. I have scheduled phone appointments and have been surprised everytime with how much time they have spent with me. I believe that Stephen is teaching what he has actually done, and that he would help me personally during my own attempts. I feel that I now have real world information that will allow me to license my own ideas.

I own a successful training company in Belgium, and so for professional purposes I have bought countless educational materials. But, few have impressed me as much as Mr. Key’s course, which is practical, full of relevant tips and worth it’s money in my opinion. My goal wasn’t to become an inventor, but Mr. Key’s course has enhanced my inventiveness for sure, and I am sure my significant revenue increase (I doubled my revenue) in times of economical down-turn, is partly due to the inspiration I found in Mr. Key’s course.

Stephens advice has been practical, informative and useful. I’m licensing my get out of debt financial software to several companies and everything is moving forward. I used his principles that he taught me to get to where I am now. It’s hard work to get a product to market, His advice provided much needed help and advice.

Your support via phone is great! and when I do come across the right idea… I’ll be ready to seize the opportunity. Thanks for making the path to inventing a little clearer for me Stephen and Andrew.

Saturday, I received yet ANOTHER royalty check, and I am a student who has used Mr. Key’s methods. I have definitely made money from my ideas and am well into the black. No, it isn’t millions yet but, because I took the time to be educated by Mr. Key, I now have the knowledge required to make money from my ideas and it’s up to me to utilize what I learned and turn it into more profits. Stephen Key provided me with an education that is worth so much more than the measly amount I paid for his course. He is a gifted educator and what I have learned as one of his students has changed my life and the way I approach business immensely.

I just attended my first ‘in-person’ seminar with Stephen and Andrew. I got up at 4:30am to drive 2+ hours (and I got lost!) to attend. I was NOT dissapointed in any way- In fact, having bought Mr. Key’s program a few months ago, I have yet to fully utilize it (family issues). The first day I received it, I only read a few pages before I called the 800 # and personally told Andrew that he and Mr. Key’s weren’t asking enough for the program. After the seminar, I was even more impressed with Mr. Key’s and Andrew’s integrity. It was a delightful expierence sitting through the entire seminar. They didn’t make a penny more off of me. I did get even more valuable information and Mr. Key’s personal cell # (which I haven’t yet called). I think Mr. Key has a sincere and true calling and told him so.

My name is Aphrodite and I am one of Stephen Key’s students. I must say that as someone who was searching for advice and direction as to how to go about bringing my product from an idea to the market place, I have accomplished much more than I imagined.

I not only learned how to bring my product to the market place in a step by step process, but I also gained the confidence to do what I thought was next to impossible for the average ‘Joe” like me. Through guidance and direction from both Stephen Key and Andrew Krauss, I was able to reach PRESIDENTS of companies giving me opportunities to present my ideas first hand to the top people. This has led me to not only move forward in my endeavor and dreams, but also it has given me a more open mind to continue to create more ideas and go after them as I never would have done prior to my experience with the Invent Right system I know now that because of this affordable available avenue that I took advantage of, I WILL one day be a successful inventor.

I am very greatful for both you and Andrew. And I tell you, I always remember one thing that you said in a tele-seminar (sometime last year) “And when a company gives you a call back, give me a call….” I believed that you were really interested in my success, and wanted to know about it ! So I am going to hold you to that……………. and I look forward to making that call !

I believe Stephen is genuinely giving back to an industry that has treated him well and my experience with Stephen has been more then I would ever have expected when I bought the system – I believe I got much more then just some experience guidance from the InventRight system, I’ve got a mentor in Stephen Key!

Thanks again for YOUR support. What I’ve gained from you and Andrew is greater confidence, realistic expectations and how to inexpensively protect intellectual property – huge benefits!

What you and Andrew offer is life changing. The level of confidence and knowledge I’ve gained from an endless diet of your CD’s and lectures have helped me to gain a whole new lease on life in general. I feel like I should pay YOU a royalty for the number of times I’ve regurgitated your lessons verbatim. Your Inventright process has been the blueprint for many of my own lectures and motivational speeches.

I’ve enjoyed the best financial year I’ve ever experienced…ALL due to you, Andrew Krauss (the unsung hero), and the InventRIGHT process.

To date, the Inventright CD set has been the best purchase of my professional career, bar none.

I am not currently a student of Stephen’s, but he kindly and quickly returned my phone call and was happy to speak with me regarding my new product ideas. He has since referred me to some of his contacts, and I am very grateful for his support and encouragement. His professional approach and commitment to helping others is commendable. Thank you Stephen.

I am a “student” of Mr. Key. I’ve been in the design business for over ten years and I thought I knew all I needed to know. My clients include Sony, Starbucks, L’Oreal, Ralph Lauren and many other big names. However, after taking Stephen’s course I learned simple techniques that made all the difference.

With these new learnings I successfully navigated my way through a multi-million licensing deal and my largest one to date. You can view the product IP here: www.gridittechnology.com

Not only were the teachings immensely valuable, practical and timesaving but more importantly – they work. I’m now in a second deal that will hopefully be as lucrative as my first. I highly recommend Mr. Key’s approach for all inventors and non-inventors.

First, I want to say InventRight has made a marked improvement over the past couple of months. You are truly a leader in the field and bringing vast amounts of pertinent information to the community. I was about to say “in particularly the new directory of companies looking for inventions” but there is nothing in particular to point out that is better then something else. It’s all good and getting better. Well Done!!!

I am so happy I found you. Before I heard of you I spent years coming up with ideas and watching others bring them to market. I read a few books about inventing and just thought the process was overwhelming and expensive. I love your approach and appreciate your knowledge.

I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation despite having heard the content before which says a great deal for your speaking ability. (I heard nothing but good feedback from others that I spoke with after the meeting as well.)

Thank you for giving South Florida Inventors your attention, enthusiasm and great insights and information today. Your inspirational presentation was unlike any our group has experienced.

I met with you approximately a year ago in Minneapolis, I introduced my product to you. I did license the product and will be in stores in three weeks, just after the holidays, next Christmas. It iwill be in Bed Bath & Beyond, Menards and a global pet show in February. I took a lot of your advice and want to say thank you.

I wanted to take a moment to let you know that how grateful I am for what you have done for me. Since I got to have the privilege of being your student, I truly believe that you are different than most people in this industry; You sincerely enjoy helping lost, confused, overwhelmed independent product developers (inventors)!

You are knowledgeable, resourceful and always available to guide us in the right direction; I just wish I knew you a few years ago before I made so many mistakes!!!

I pray for a day that the world would be filed with people like you, helping each other for the sake of pure enjoyment…

Forever grateful,

As a product developer, I have usually handled everything on my own. I’m just starting to adjust to going to the site every time I need something, from sell-sheet templates, to elance designers. It is such a luxury to not have to “reinvent the wheel” for each step. Thank you for all of the resources!

Thank you also for the sense of community. Good to be immersed in a culture that understands my crazy passion for product development.

Kind regards,

Thanks Stephen. You are a mentor to all of us. One of my biggest moments on American Inventor was having the opportunity to learn from you. You’re the real deal and I’m grateful to pass on what you continue to teach through your books, blogs, workshops and Vlogs.
Continue to have the best day ever! Much joy!

Hi Stephen. My name is Sef and I’m an Advertising student at Art Center College of Design. Gotta’say, I’m quite flattered to see my school mentioned in your book, but I did have a little moment of sadness after being reminded that I’m out $200,000+ because of tuition. That’s all right though, I think it as more of an investment, as it should be. Well anyways, I literally just finished reading your book, One Simple Idea, and I had to give you some major kudos on how awesome this book was. In the middle of reading your book, I’ve had a bit of an “A-Ha!” moment: Us design students obviously design “stuff” — Product Designers design Products, Transportation Designers designs all things transportations, etc., but us Advertising students design ideas, which usually comes out in the form of ad. Since we spend so much time concepting and designing ideas, it is very easy to come up with ideas that are not even ad related, and I think licensing ideas is a great outlet for us to see our non-ad related ideas being produced while making some cash at the same time. After reading your book, I have decided to make it goal to license at least 3 products before I finish this semester, and I plan on taking up licensing as a passion / personal project while I continue to my advertising career. It would be great to have you come back down to Pasadena and to do another talk with us Art Center students. I’m currently in the works of putting together an ADtrepreneur workshop with one of our Entrepreneurial teachers and Advertising Department Chair. It would be amazing if you can join in on it too. With that said, thank you for putting this book and your other resources together! I am extremely excited to start licensing and pursuing an entrepreneurial path. If I have any questions about my licensing ventures, I’ll make sure to reach out to you.

I can’t begin to tell you how much your program and your inspiration has helped me with a product I have worked with for around 6 years. I have done my sell sheet, my pending patent and I am ready to start sending out my sell sheet, which Andrew helped me improve. You have opened the door for me to license it and have started the wheels turning on many other products. I also know and have other friends who have already spent huge amounts of money for patents and are attempting to manufacture their own products. I will be talking to these friends and hope to head them in your direction. Thanks again for your help and encouragement. Hopefully I will be able to call on you to help me negotiate my product with some big company. Have a great day!

ust wanted to email you a special thank you for the webinar last night! I was really knocked out by it. It answered some nagging questions I had from before, and got me all excited for when I write a PPA for my next project. You and Andrew just make things SO easy to follow. Having the benefit of your experiences and your always-positive guidance really helps me feel confident about moving forward. I just wouldn’t be ANYWHERE near here without your help. THANKS again … I truly love being an inventRight student …

Wow, great webinar tonight!! No doubt in my mind I have THE best coaches in the world!! I am VERY happy you encouraged me to “keep inventing” to make my product better which I do think has made it much stronger… Now I just have to keep taking the actions to FIND IT A GOOD HOME!! LOVE being an inventRight student, and feel incredibly lucky to have your expertise and support behind me. I am determined to get a licensing deal … if not for this project, then for a future one!

Absolutely outstanding Webinar last night it’s just what I needed. I am a different kind of learner meaning I need a bit more explanation when someone’s trying to teach me something. I find your ability to convey and cover details very useful. What’s even more helpful is you dialogue things so the details can be best understood in how things are spoken as well. What hangs me up pulls me back is I don’t know what to say or how to say it so I don’t do things. Your thinking well to include dialoguing in teaching the InventRight steps shows your natural instinct for people skills.

Thank you again and again I can’t thank you enough.

Sincerely,

Thank you for your encouragement. You give me great inspiration. I will be successful at this in the near future. I haven’t given up my day job, but I have been working on a few things, and your book gives me hope.

Thanks

My name is Harkeem, and I am a Product Developer. I would like to thank the entire inventRight team for doing an exceedingly fantastic job in supporting their members. I am so happy and proud to be an inventRight student. I am making phone calls and making contact with manufactures, and I owe it all to Stephen Key and Andrew Krauss. These two are a great team to work with.

Thanks again Stephen for responding so quickly to my call for help! Very, very much appreciated!

It confirms, (not that it was required) the amazing level of genuine commitment you, Andrew and the rest of your team have for helping your students to success. With so much going on in the world these days it is hugely comforting especially for a newbie such as, but not limited to, myself.

Thanks and regards,

I read Mr. Key’s book a few years ago. I had been undergoing cancer treatments for a few years, and I was financially strapped. I had been a corporate attorney until my diagnosis, and with a long-term battle ahead, I had no idea what was going to become of me and felt imprisoned in what to do with my life.

Mr. Key’s book really changed my life because it helped me to think outside of the box. It really helped me to see the power of an idea. It gave very helpful and clear guidance on how to take an idea and turn it into revenue. Furthermore, the book provided helpful instructions and resources.

I am still undergoing treatments. I am thankful that this book helped me to get on a terrific path in the midst of a very trying time.

Thank you, Mr. Key!!!!

Steven and Andrew,

I appreciate your willingness to work with me as an inventRight student. Your input is invaluable and after we talk I always feel more confident that we are on the right path.

Best Personal Regards,

Stephen, thanks for the call today. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your accessibility and willingness to talk things through with me. You always help me get to the right decision…even if it takes me some time to get there. You guys are both incredibly generous with your time and advice and I honestly think that anyone thinking of getting into the world of licensing would be making a big mistake not joining the InventRight team. I think anyone would be hard-pressed to find such valuable advice at such a fair price.

Thanks again and wishing you a tremendously fun and successful 2015!

Best,

From Stephen and Andrew I’ve gained the ability to easily speak to companies and have the ear of people whom I never before felt would listen. I’ve learned to present my products in ways that get me noticed and remembered. I have now had licensing offers on multiple products, and know that I am on the right path towards closing a deal — and I am thankful for all the insights and lessons that they have clearly provided! Thank you Stephen, Andrew, and the inventRight staff for always being there for my questions, helping me face my fears, and showing me a path to becoming a successful product developer. I truly believe in inventRight.

Stephen, I’m also always amazed at your prompt phone replies!! Today I didn’t even get to finish leaving a voicemail before you returned my call!!

Thanks again for your help, patience, and advice!! You and inventRight are solid gold!

Thank you so much for all of the time and effort you have put into helping me on my projects. It is so clear to me how much you care about helping everyone at Invent Right. The Invent Right team has allowed me to wake passionate and excited about work each day — a true blessing.

Thank you again and happy holidays!

Very Best,

I wanted to take a moment to thank you and your team for the exceptional program you all have developed. I’ve been an InventRight student since August 2014, and in that short amount of time, I feel I’ve gained a pretty strong understanding of the licensing concept you practice and the steps required to become successful in the industry.

Due to the support and resources your team offers, there is no doubt in my mind that I will become a professional product developer. I want you to know that all the hard work you and your team put into your weekly webinars, newsletters, email responses, website updates, prompt follow up phone calls, situational advice, appointments and bar none customer service does not go unnoticed. I’ve been beyond satisfied with this program and your team’s efforts are impressive, to say the least.

Never once have I felt confused, lost or abandoned within this program. Your team gives us the tools to be as successful as we choose to be and I’ve truly received as much from this opportunity as I’ve put into it. I still have a long way to go but I’m looking forward to the journey with the InventRight team.

There are not enough positive, descriptive words to illustrate InventRight’s program. I would highly recommend you and your team to my closest friends and family, without hesitation, because I know they would be in great hands.

Again, thank you for all your support!
Sincerely,

Thank you Stephen! Guess WHAT! We have two big company’s that have offered to license Switch Kick and manufacture and distribute too! I have both meetings next week AND we are going to the NAMM show with our own booth! Your service even if we don’t license is paying off!

THANK YOU both

I just wanted to thank you for the great communication! I really enjoy your program especially working with Alix, she is very helpful and patient. I look forward to my appointments with her because she keeps me on track and motivated.

Thanks for your time.

Stephen Key and the InventRight coaches are masters at teaching licensing. Their approach the licensing process like guides with a map, providing a map which shows all of the steps involved in the process (their “10 Steps”), and then personally guiding their students through the landscape of the map. Their expertise helps students avoid typical pitfalls and teaches students how to make sound decisions during the process of creating and licensing products. The value this provides is priceless.

Be Well,

inventRight empowers you to set and accomplish goals one small and achievable step at a time. Want to invent and license? Make sure you’re going the Right way!

I can mention a handful of reasons why David is a great coach to work with but I think what has him be the best coach for me is the fact that just a little while ago, David was a student doing exactly what I was doing (and probably a lot of students are doing), he was making A HUGE DEAL out of cold calling, and thought he was in action because he cold called one or two companies every other week. And once he got in action, he went from “student” to “professional” and since he made that leap just recently, he is able to relate to me being terrified of cold calling and making a huge deal out of it and avoiding contacting companies at all cost. He coached me in such way that I discovered all “cold calling” is, really, is contacting companies to get instructions to submit an idea, and that is it, there is nothing scary about it! I’m forever grateful… now it is not a matter of “if” but “when”.

Working with David has been a great and positive experience. I remember when I first heard him on the show speak about how he had licensed his second product and I thought to myself “I need to speak to this man”. Shortly afterwards you had announced him as a couch on your team and I immediately had to make my first appointment. As soon as I started to work with David, everything started to change. I felt like I was speaking to the male version of myself (I always tell him that). I followed everything that he has helped me with and currently have five products under review. David give me hope and the belief that it’s not a matter of if but a matter of when.
Thank you!

I joined the InventRight team at the recommendation of a fellow inventor. One of my biggest fears was the dreaded cold call, however after learning the InventRight system it has become the most exciting and enjoyable part of the process. Here’s my new motto – InventRight is a VERB – We Are Action – Action Creates Clarity!

I now realize I’m making opportunity calls to companies, and there’s no better way to get instant feedback from the people who matter most then by asking this one simple question –

DO YOU LOOK AT NEW PRODUCT IDEAS?

Wow! What a great question. I had 3 separate people from 3 different companies, all respond with the exact same response – “Of course, who would tell you no?”

As you begin engaging companies, something amazing happens – they give you the roadmap to success – all you have to do is listen. Here’s how we should measure success and yes I consider it a success even when companies turn down the opportunity to produce my latest and greatest idea! Let’s be honest, we are creative and smart, however we can get bogged down by fear. Remember my new motto – We Are Action and Action creates Clarity. I want to know if my idea is as good as I think it is or not worth the effort, and companies will clear that mystery up very quickly. The amazing part of not interested doesn’t mean it’s a bad idea. I had a director of sales who loved my idea but didn’t have the equipment or means to produce and distribute my idea, however he spent 45 minutes on the phone going through his contacts of people I should call. He gave me permission to use his name, and now I have developed a great contact for future advice and deals. – A successful No! – InventRight is a Verb – Action Creates Clarity – The insight and advice I received with that (No) opportunity call was invaluable. Here’s another example in an email I received. I just made 2 more contacts for future deals!

I’ve moved on to my next product, and it’s good. I know it’s good because after getting my sell sheet, the CEO of the company called me from Los Angles after a meeting with Disney. That CEO’s company does 50 million per year in sales of Novelty Candy Products. He spent 35 minutes on the phone with me, offering advice to include contacts and pitfalls to avoid. He said I could call him at any point for advice and future product ides! That’s amazing – The CEO called me – a new inventor – I now have a new friend and mentor, all because I made one call and asked one simple question – DO YOU LOOK AT NEW PRODUCT IDEAS? Thank You InventRight! I’m getting nothing but great feedback.

Thank you InventRight Team.

Thank you all for another, great webinar; How to Get Into Big Companies. The information was absolutely extraordinary. I’m still amazed that we have access to such valuable knowledge and experience that inventRight shares. Thank you!

I wanted to thank you for changing my life. Your system has changed the way I see the world and my future. I’ve been working with David who is fantastic by the way and has been such a great and very smart coach. Great leaders surround themselves with very strong people and your group to include Andrew and Alix are amazing. I’ve been pressing hard on my new line of candy products and through this process I’ve made so many great contacts who asked that I send them ideas in the future! I have new candy ideas and will be creating sell sheets and pitching to my new contacts thanks to you. Continued success and I’m looking forward to reading your new books – Thanks Stephen.

I’m a very competitive person in lots of things. I hate losing so much that sometimes I quit because I can’t stand it. For 10 years, I quit being an inventor because I didn’t like not winning at this game. I love InventRight because now I can win.

I want to thank you very much for your help last week on the conference call, and everything leading up to it and beyond. I am truly grateful for that. By the way, thanks to you and Andrew for making the Getting In ebook available to us. I’m always eager to find new nuggets of truth and inspiration.

Wonderful tips guys… I’ve been sitting on my ideas for a while, just stuck in the mud not knowing what to do. As of last week, after watching all your videos over and over. I’ve created my sell sheet, filed my PPA myself, and started calling companies. Thanks for the motivation and the confidence, both of you guys are Great!

Thanks in part to you, my daughter and entrepreneur is evolving into a serious designer even at her very young age. It’s thanks in part to you because: had I not started designing and attempting to license products myself, my daughter never would have ended up doing the same. So, your influence on peoples lives extends well beyond your immediate students. I think I’m starting to understand the kind of gratification that must provide.

In March of 2014, I came up with an idea that I believed would change the drywall industry forever. Coming up with the idea was the easy part. Now I needed to figure out how to get my idea out there. That was the hard part. As I was working on developing my prototype, I stumbled across a You tube video where this guy seemed like he was talking directly to me and answering all the questions I was struggling with. That guy was Stephen Key! I started watching all his videos and bought his book One Simple Idea. I have taken my idea and pitched my product to five different companies and currently have several interested in my product. Stephen has helped me with every aspect to this point and I’m sure I would have made some mistakes if not for his advice. I’m very grateful that someone with Stephen’s knowledge is out there and willing to share his expertise with all of us entrepreneurs! I encourage anyone who has an idea to read his book and check out his videos. I know you will find the answers you are looking for. I want to thank Stephen and his company for all the advice and information they provided to me. I know that they are the reason I am where I am today!

Thanks so much for the guidance and direction that you have given me. I always wanted to be an inventor, and make my mark ever since I was a kid. I never knew this could be a possible way to get products to market. Without this I would continue to dream and not invent.

I just wanted to tell you how much I have enjoyed and continue to enjoy listening to your MP3 CD “One Simple Idea”.

The MP3 CD suits me perfectly for my car journey’s to and from work when I’m just killing time and sitting in traffic! I have also purchased the book version for easier reference if I’ve forgotten the CD track number.

I’ve read other books on inventing and visit inventing forums via the web and listened to various radio/talkshows on innnovation. Admittedly, it was daunting at the outset, but over the last few years I’ve become more and more familar with patenting, licensing etc.

However, I’ve come to the conclusion that your book is the quintessential bible of how one can fastrack one’s idea from napkin to license, bypassing the many pitfalls along the way. Anyone starting out in the world of innovation/inventing/product development needs only one book/CD- It’s called “One Simple Idea” by Stephen Key!

Not only is your CD informative- it’s also inspirational. I’ve learned so much from your CD and no doubt saved $1000’s along the way and more importantly, saving an immense amount of time. In effect, your CD has enabled me to move closer to realising my dreams of eventually one day seeing my ideas selling on DRTV and in large retailers worldwide.

I just want to thank you Stephen for putting together something that has helped me beyond my expectation of what a book or CD can offer about the world of inventing and licensing.

I grew up with my step dad working for Raytheon, Fairchild, and then Intel, after flunking out of Stanford. Have been around inventive genius since I was 7 in Portland Maine. My neighbor was an old Norwegian Tom Anderson. He shared his walk behind Snow Blower with the executives at Sears. Shortly thereafter Sears had their first snow blower, and the first one in the world. This was my invitation into the world of creativity, inventions, patents, and the insane fears of the whole industry.
Growing up in the Silicon Valley prior and after that gave me much understanding of the ways that money can be made over night in that industry and many industries tied into that one, or any for that matter.
The marketing industry is like religion, they tell you that you have to have somebody to go between you and God to make it all happen. Jesus says come to me, SO DOES THE INDUSTRY! You guys make it happen, with the most free thinking, tactfully humorous, and hilarious ways that make things so user friendly. Thank you from me, but thank you from America or any market that would listen long enough to STOP fearing and start believing and moving, hope that in a few weeks I will bring results to show one more success story that you guys have directly influenced.

I wanted to thank you both both for your amazing books and videos. I learned so much from them and was able to license a game last year that will go on sale in mid 2015. Thanks again for the amazing materials you guys produce.

I’m so glad you went over the sell sheet with me. I can’t believe the difference from my old one to this new one (in both wording and design). Times like these make me so glad I joined the InventRight program. I think I would be lost without the guidance. 🙂

Today during my coaching call Alix transformed my sell sheet through her feedback from a standard product into one with an emphasis on the “Artisan” aspect of the product. I’m so excited because this opens it up and emphasizes how the product is different from others partly because of my skill as an artist. I think it’s just what the sell sheet needed because people seemed to be saying, “We have the shephard’s hook and it works well…we don’t need anything new.” At the very least this change answers that question. But really it also added a whole new dimension.

Have a great day…you picked well.

This past Wednesday was the entrepreneurship contest I entered and I won first place and received $50,000! I presented my Lift Stick idea. I wanted to say thank you to you guys for the help along the way. Thanks again and I’m looking forward to keep pushing down the entrepreneurial path.

Because I have dyslexia, I haven’t picked up a book in years — probably since I was 16 or 17. I’ve only ever listened to Stephen’s books; I haven’t read them. I have been empowered by inventRight to be a better person, not only because I’m learning this new trade, but also because I have a newfound confidence. I’ve learned to do things that I never imagined I would, like working with an attorney. inventRight has empowered me in more ways than I ever could have imagined. Knowing that Stephen and Andrew and the whole inventRight family are behind me, well, it gave me the power to think that I could do this too. I’m hoping my patent issues later this year, or at least some claims. A year ago, I would not have thought that was possible. Now I know it is! Listening to everything they have to say and working with them directly has been amazing.

I just want to thank you for being there for me, the information you provide me with is very valuable! I wish I would have had this information Three years ago. I look forward to are next our next coaching session!

After thoroughly researching the inventing process, I went full force into filing a patent and creating a prototype…and then i got to the point where I felt like I was out of my league. Luckily I found inventRight! After reading Stephen Key’s book [One Simple Idea] I knew exactly what I had to do. The coaching staff is amazing, I really feel like I have an entire team behind me. I’ve been following the program and getting into companies and even getting interest from some of my prospects. These guys are the real deal. I feel like I have a real chance of getting my product to market!
Regards,

I have learned a lot form inventRight, like finding a better idea or finding a company. Now I know how to build and sketch a project and sell it. I believe that I will sell my first idea soon.

InventRight for me has been a life changer! When I originally signed-up for the class, I was unsure what you could teach me that all my college professors and work experiences could not. Well, it was clear after the first online class that I was in the right place! I appreciate being able to talk to my coach, who can assist me through every step of the process, giving suggestions, advice, and encouragement whenever I need help. I’ve learned so much about product development, marketing, managing the budget, intellectual property, negotiating, avoiding pitfalls, and being a professional. For me, just learning how to negotiate and accept rejection has been a life skill worth every penny.

You are great teachers and encouragers. You care about your students and our successes. Thank you, Stephen and Andrew, for teaching me these skills, encouraging me year after year, and helping me follow my dream. Your program is the real deal. InventRight has been one of the best investments I’ve made in my future!

David, and all at inventRight thank you for your help. I have told many, many people how amazing and helpful you have been and am trying to encourage others to look around, see what they can improve on and then call inventRight. I wish I had found you a long time ago.

Thank you for shining light whenever I need clarity about moving my projects forward. I feel pretty awkward and vulnerable sometimes… Your experience and understanding are always encouraging.

I have been working and perfecting my product for about 7 years now. I had a friend who was interested in manufacturing it but he was in a different industry and never seemed to offer any form of protection. Somehow I just could not commit to that perceived opportunity. After a careful search of the internet, I found you, Stephen, ordered your book, read it in almost a day and contacted inventRight immediately. (And I usually move very cautiously, particularly with internet options) I was drawn by the sense of commitment that I heard, saw and read. Mostly, I was impressed by the common sense approach and the sincere effort to help others benefit from your passion without wasting time or money. InventRight has given me the confidence to move forward, to continue to perfect my product as well of thinking of other products that can serve and benefit many. In fact Inventright has taught me an approach helpful in running and growing a small business which I have had for years. Not only does inventRight offer trust, but a helping hand to guide and help protect you through unfamiliar territory. InventRight clearly has a mission to serve not only its members but those who benefit from the inventions. Too few companies out there concern themselves with true service.

Contract signed. Yeah! Thank you Stephen! Couldn’t have done it as good as this without you. You’ve given me so much confidence for each call. Thank you!!!

From the first time I read your book I knew you were a person who sees the world the way I do. Since I was a kid, I was always cutting recycles and making them into something else or fixing a problem with them. After reading your book last year, I finally found where I am supposed to be. I was designing, but fashion was not my passion. I am even teaching my kids to create and use your system. (They are 6, 9, & 11 and they love it!) I even sent them to camp invention this summer.

As I searched I saw a lot of invention companies that would do the whole process for you. Basically, take your idea, run with it, work it and try to license it. For a sizable fee and or part of your royalty, which didn’t sit with me very well. I wanted to be a part of the process and know what was going on and learn how to do this myself for my future products. And then I saw Stephen Key and Invent right! After reading about Invent right and the story of Stephen Key, I knew this was the place for me. It was exactly what I was looking for, someone to teach me the licensing process and help me through each step. After speaking with Andrew and realizing they didn’t just accept anyone into the program (that was something I really liked) and weren’t just looking to make money……they honestly wanted to help inventors learn the licensing process. That was it! I was sold and signed up as soon as possible. Next I was teamed up with Coach Amy Jo Brogan and after speaking to her the very first time I realized we were on the same page and had instant rapport. Every conversation and coaching session has been very very easy and a wonderful learning experience. I really can’t express in words how happy I am to have found Invent right.

I have been one of your students over the past year and have loved it. You guys helped me a lot with this diaper changing pad product and although I didn’t get it licensed I found a group that is helping me launch it on my own and we just today put it up on Kickstarter. Thank you so much for all you have done for me. The inventright program is amazing. Your course and books were absolutely essential in getting me to this point.

Thank you for stepping in and providing Christy and I with excellent advice and guidance. It’s clear that we are still babies in the woods! It was hard for me to discuss changes after having spent the last weeks negotiating the contract, but I do see that the contract needed improvement and that there were things that hadn’t been properly worked out. It’s always great to have you involved and I’m grateful for your time and efforts on mine and Christy’s behalf.

Thanks again,

Hands Changing Pad is now 80% funded after just 6 days on Kickstarter! The response has been AMAZING! Thanks Stephen! I really don’t think I’d be to this point if it wasn’t for the books you wrote and your inventright course. I really appreciate all of the help and guidance you have provided me.
Check out Mike’s Product here.

Stephen is a master negotiator. He recently helped my partner and I on a licensing deal. Reading one of his articles it struck me that I may have violated half of his rules of thumb but then Stephen stepped in and helped us re-negotiate a better deal by basically following these rules. Thanks again, Stephen!

You are a great friend, the best mentor I have ever had and a really very special, one of a kind person. All your effort and time that you spend with us, the stories that you have shared are priceless, You are greatly appreciated!

Sincerely,

I can’t even tell you how much it means to me to be able to talk to you all. I just need to stop thinking so much and just do it!! I have had my list of companies since before I went to ICAST. I’m having the hardest time with that. I do really enjoy all the webinars. I’m going to get on it today. After I get off the phone with David. Thank you again for your time and all the help you have given me. God Bless and kindest regards

As Andrew probably knows I was pretty hesitant when I first talked to him about the program and how it can help me license my product. I can definitely say right now that I am amazed by how much you guys are helping your students bring their inventions to the market!

Your commitment level to a never ending process of learning, improvement and above all sharing of real world essential information that helps people succeed in bringing their inventions to life is a thing to admire. I really think your work actually helps improve the world we live in.

Specifically for me, I can say that this is the closest I have come to licensing my product in over 15 years. With the help of my amazing coach Amy Jo, I have gone through a wonderful road taking all the inventRight steps, and finally located an interested potential licensee. We are working on a term sheet now.

I’m very much used to doing things on my own, but I can honestly say that I couldn’t have reached this far without you. Amy Jo has the ability to give you the exact advice you need at the right moment. Sometimes it’s so simple it’s actually frustrating and amazing at the same time. Amy Jo will keep you laser focused on your next step and nothing more. When I had a hard time with cold calling Amy Jo managed to pull me out of my despair and keep me up and running – something even my wife couldn’t do. BTW, I’m still struggling with it.

It still feels like a dream to get this licensing contract signed, but we are on the right track. I know it. And you know I won’t stop until I will. I’m looking forward to continue working with you.

InventRight and their coaches make it easy, and walk you through every step. They always have a positive attitude and really care for your success. Thank you, inventRight family!!!

I want you to know how grateful I am for the confidence I’ve gained from being your student… Nothing can take that away from me.

I can’t believe how much inventright has taught me over the last 18 months. Things are working out perfectly Thanks to you all.

I can not express how much I appreciate your program. I can remember as a small child, telling myself I was going to be an inventor. No one understood how to get me there because to so many people it is just a dream. I am teaching my creative kids how to follow the steps too.

Have I told you lately how much I love being an inventRight student?!! :o) Could never have gotten anywhere close to here without your guidance and support !!

Stephen, I was blown away to be selected as a Rock Star, I yelled to my wife, “Lauri, get in here they are talking about me!” so she got to hear you as well. Like you said it’s the wives that have the courage to put up with us and mine has been very supportive and instrumental in where I am now. I am so grateful for you and Andrew, joining inventRight has helped me immensely and continues to be empowering for me.
