Licensed Her Product With Support From inventRight Coaching

How inventRight coaching helped Tami license her first product

Independent inventor Tami Doebbeling explored licensing through inventRightTV and Stephen Key’s book, One Simple Idea, then reached out to a company that quickly showed interest. When it came time to sign, she turned to inventRight coaching — where coach Paul Sorenson guided her through the contract and provided steady support. She licensed her first product and is now preparing for its launch.

“My name is Tami Doebbeling and I am a stay-at-home mom. I have always been what you would call a serial entrepreneur.

From having small furniture reno shop, to cleaning houses, to doing wedding flowers, I have always been on the hunt for starting a business. Thing is, once it was up and running and starting to take off, I would lose interest or it would become too much trouble for what it was worth.

I started watching “Shark Tank” when it came out and I was hooked. I knew inventing is what I wanted to do, but how?

Years later, I reached out to a long-distance relative who invented something. He told me to read “One Simple Idea,” by Stephen Key. I ate it up! I took notes, but even then couldn’t figure out how to take the next step after filing a provisional patent application and making my sell sheet.

Then, a couple years after that, I got mad at myself for not doing anything with any of my ideas. I asked God to please help me and to bring someone into my life to help me figure this out. I really don’t remember how, but I found the inventRight YouTube channel and watched one right after another.

Stephen Key and Andrew Krauss helped me so much in knowing what I needed to do every step of the way. I am very skeptical, and I could see and hear the sincerity when one of them would do a video. I could tell that they really wanted to help the inventor. I really couldn’t believe that they were giving all this great information for free!

When I was ready, I emailed a company that felt like a really good fit for my product and was surprised to hear back from them in about a day. I couldn’t believe it! I heard over and over that you usually have to call about 80 companies to get a “yes,” and I almost feel guilty, but the first company I reached out to said yes, and they wanted me to send my sell sheet and short video of my product.

We had a few emails and a phone call; then it was time to sign the contract. I hadn’t taken the inventRight program; when it was time to sign the contract, I was very nervous. So, I called inventRight, and they were so helpful and friendly!

I was assigned to Paul Sorenson, who helped me tremendously and put my mind at ease. Even after I was done needing anymore advice, he would email me and ask how things are going and let me know if I had any more questions that he was always available. When I would email him, he would email me back almost immediately!

These people are the BEST at what they do! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience at doing something so foreign for the first time. I am hooked! My product will be online in about 3 months’ time from my first email to the company, which is crazy fast!

I’m hoping it is successful, but if it’s not, I have a ton of other ideas that I can’t wait to license! Don’t be afraid to try! If I can do it, anyone can!”
