Marketing education can alleviate the concerns in red

RISKS

No one wants to buy it or not willing to give us what we project Aim for Distributors not Manufacturers

OR With study in hand we can go to market Once we prove out we are taking market share, they will acquire us

Product/Market Fit CAA Celebrity Spokesperson Interview Testers and Create Infomercial VC Funding Full Marketing Campaign

The Product doesn’t work Customer re-development program with VC funding

COMPETITION

No Originality

All the same things based upon old FDA suggestions

Telling people how to do things is easy, giving them tools to do it is our differentiator

DIFFERENTIATORS

Only Online CBT program ever created

Text Msg support based on CBT lesson plans not generic motivations

B. You buy QS 24/7 and not only not lose market share but increase market share

C. You market this product as effective and a pain free way to quit and expand the user base by attacking eCigs
