Are you wondering how long it would take you to license your content? Well, that depends on the industry that you are selling it into. If you are creating what I call a licensing quick sell, that is an offer that sells faster in as early as one week. As a matter of fact, we've had clients finish our license to scale class and sell three quick sells within three weeks at $12,000 each. So quick sales obviously sell faster because you're selling them into these three industries. It's either a client and it's either somebody in your network, or it's a smaller offer that you can really quickly inject in another organization or another business. Whereas if you're closing larger deals with corporations or government, those deals take longer to close and you can anticipate six to nine months. So the bigger the deal, the bigger the organization that you're selling into with the more signatures that are required, those are obviously going to take a little bit longer to close. Those have a higher dollar value. Whereas you can start selling immediately with a version of that bigger what you create. That's called a quick seller.
