Turned inventRight coaching into a licensing deal
How expert invention licensing coaching helped Brad turn patience into a signed agreement
When a top-priority company went quiet after showing interest in his sell sheet, Brad Kons nearly crossed them off. After hearing cofounder Andrew Krauss’s advice to stick with a lead until you get a clear yes or no, he followed up three months later — right as the team was planning its next product line. That timing, plus a clean pitch, moved the conversation quickly to a signed deal with one of his A-list targets. Brad went on to coach fellow inventors at inventRight and now supports inventRight Gateway as an Outreach Team Associate.
“A company showed initial interest in my sell sheet, but I wasn’t able to get on the phone with them to discuss further.
I assumed the person wasn’t that interested if he didn’t have time for a quick call, so I continued contacting other companies.
I almost removed them from of my list…until I listened to an inventRight webinar where Andrew said, ‘You should not move on until you receive a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ from a company.’ I called that company back (which was three months later), and he said this was perfect timing because they are planning their upcoming product line right now.
After only a few weeks, the deal was signed, and I’m extremely excited because this company was on my A-list! (Note: I later found out that the guy was in China for two months during that time I didn’t hear anything back.)
This was a valuable lesson of how persistence, patience, and perfect timing can lead to success. I’m thrilled to be a part of the inventRight community where everyone is so willing to help each other.
I especially want to thank Stephen, Andrew, Jon, Heather, Howie, Lynnsie, and David for their expertise. The 10 step program really does work, if you do the work!
For those of you who are thinking about joining iR, my advice is to make the investment for yourself and your future.”
