Licensed Her Product with inventRight Coaching Support
How inventRight guidance helped Dawn revive a stalled lead and close her first agreement
After deciding licensing beat the risk of venturing, Dawn Scheurle dove into Stephen Key’s book, One Simple Idea, pitched companies, and hit early turbulence. She joined inventRight for hands-on support — working with coach Arleta to develop a second concept, stay consistent on outreach, and re-engage past prospects, with additional negotiation guidance from the team. Six months later, a written-off contact turned into a signed licensing agreement, and Dawn left the table energized to pursue the next products on her list.
“I stumbled on inventRight as I slogged through trying to find a way to bring my product to market. I looked into venturing but ultimately decided there was no way I was willing to take that risk. Then I discovered licensing. I read articles online, watched YouTube videos, researched different inventor help companies, you name it. I found ‘One Simple Idea,’ read it, & started pitching to companies. I got some interest, freaked out, signed up for iR for the negotiation help, & it ended up falling through before one word was written.
When I signed up, I was just thinking about this one product, but realized I had a lot more in me. I started working on another project with my coach (yay Arleta!) & going through the steps. On a whim, I reached back out to a company I had all but written off, & they were still interested.
Fast forward 6 months — we FINALLY signed a deal! I couldn’t have done it without the coaching & teachings of iR. I would’ve given up. The stories of fellow students’ successes on iRTV helped me stay focused on what was possible.
Thank you Stephen, Andrew, Arleta, & Paul! I’m excited about my signed agreement but am equally if not more excited about my future products!”
