The 5-Phase Roadmap
Click each phase to expand the action steps. Start Phase 1 this week.
🎯 Goal: Confirm real demand before spending money on production or marketing.
Define Your Target Customer
Who has the problem your patent solves? Be hyper-specific: age, profession, pain point, how they currently solve it, how much they pay.
Action: Write a 1-page Ideal Customer Profile (ICP). Interview 10 potential buyers this week.
Craft Your Unique Value Proposition
In one sentence: who it's for, what it does, why it's better than alternatives. This becomes your pitch, ad copy, and sales hook.
Action: Test 3 different value prop statements on LinkedIn or with friends. Pick the one that gets the most interest.
Competitive Landscape Analysis
Map every competitor. What do they charge? Where do they fall short? Your patent gives you a legal moat — make sure buyers know it.
Action: Build a simple comparison table. Use it in every sales conversation.
Price Anchoring
Price too low = no credibility. Price too high = no sales. Test 2–3 price points with real buyers before locking in.
Action: Run a 'pretend to buy' test: set up a landing page with a buy button. See who clicks.
🎯 Goal: Build the minimum infrastructure to acquire and close your first paying customers.
Landing Page + Lead Capture
One page. One offer. One call to action. Collect emails or demo requests. Don't build a full website yet.
Action: Launch a landing page in 48 hours. Drive 100 visitors to it. Measure conversion rate.
Choose 1–2 Acquisition Channels
Don't spread thin. Pick the channels where your buyers already hang out: LinkedIn, Amazon, trade shows, direct sales, YouTube, or B2B partnerships.
Action: Post daily for 30 days on the #1 channel. Track which content drives the most DMs or clicks.
Sales Script & Demo
A structured 15-minute demo beats a 50-page pitch deck. Focus on the problem, show the solution, prove ROI, ask for the order.
Action: Record yourself demoing. Watch it. Fix the awkward parts. Practice until it flows naturally.
Prototype or MVP
You don't need perfection — you need something buyers can touch, see, or test. Even a mockup or prototype photo builds credibility.
Action: Get 3 samples or prototypes made. Use one for demos, send one to a potential partner, keep one.

The Golden Rule
Revenue beats perfection. Ship something imperfect to a real customer this month. You'll learn more from one paying customer than 100 surveys. Speed to cash is everything.
