what customer/market problems are you trying to solve?

usually I'd start with 5 c ustomers that you can identify that have a common problem that you can solve wit h your solution/invention, and prove it to them that it can solve their problem -- and then ask if they will pay for it that's usually a good litmus test for most market penetration problems if you are beyond that point, then identify who the next potential 50 customers are if you can identify customers and verify the need, then only I'd attribute this as a market penetration / distribution problem -- at which point, you need to re -assess your sales/marketing strategy. But again, that can only be done effectiv ely when you have a really good idea who exactly are your first 50 customers hope that helps Sandeep Giri- Gham Power.
