I haven't had a patent but a while ago I developed a pretty useful software for some industries. I wasn't able to get much traction when I talked potential customers myself. A friend of mine is an experienced sales guy so I asked him to help. He was much better at talking to people and keeping things moving. So my advice would be to partner with somebody who has a proven sales record and let him make some phone calls. It's a very specific skill set a lot of engineers don't have.
