How This Course Will Save You Time and Money

We've launched more than 50 new products of our own, so we know how easy it is to fall in love with an idea and lunge ahead full speed without first evaluating it. It's hard to be objective about your own ideas. That's why so many new products fail! This course will save you time and money by helping you answer 12 fundamental questions before you even consider launching your new product.

• Do you have enough profit margin to include sales to distributors and affiliates?

• Do you know how to measure the true size of your potential market?

• Do you know how to protect your product using patents, trademarks or copyrights?

• Do you know how much purchase discount to give retailers and distributors or affiliates?

• Do you know the best way to find a manufacturer for your product?

• Do you know the difference between a sales rep, a distributor and an affiliate?

Evaluating your product helps you see what to expect from consumer, retailers, licensees, investors and the media. That will help you decide whether your product or invention has a chance of making money or needs more work.

We built this course for you to test your ideas before you invest so you can protect your precious assets. Testing your idea can only make it better, and that's a good thing.

By the end of this course you will know how to apply our step-by-step method for appraising your product. You can use what you learn in this course to write a simple, effective business plan for your product. Share the plan with partners, professors, managers, skeptics, bankers, investors, licensees and manufacturers to earn their support.

Best of all, these 12 evaluation points will keep you from making those common mistakes that can cost you dearly.


 

"Physical products aren't like digital ones. You can't pivot them on a dime. So, this course may well be the best hour you'll ever buy, and the least expensive when you think about how costly one inventory mistake can be when launching your new physical product."
