The Customer Analysis section of the business plan assesses the customer segments that the company serves. In it, the company must 1) identify its target customers, 2) convey the needs of these customers, and 3) show how its products and services satisfy these needs.The first step of the Customer Analysis is to define exactly which customers the company is serving. This requires specificity. It is not adequate to say the company is targeting small businesses, for example, because there are several million of these types of customers. Rather, the plan must identify precisely the customers it is serving, such as small businesses with 10 to 50 employees based in large metropolitan cities on the West Coast.Once the plan has clearly identified and defined the company’s target customers, it is necessary to explain the demographics of these customers. Questions to be answered include: 1) how many potential customers fit the given definition? is this customer base growing or decreasing? 2) what is the average revenues/income of these customers? and 3) where are these customers geographically based?After explaining customer demographics, the plan must detail the needs of these customers. Conveying customer needs could take the form of past actions (X% have purchased a similar prod
The Hero's Journey is the template upon which the vast majority of successful stories and Hollywood blockbusters are based upon. In fact, ALL of the Hollywood movies we have deconstructed are based on this template.
Understanding this template is a priority for story or screenwriters.
The Hero's Journey:
a) Attempts to tap into unconscious expectations the audience has regarding what a story is and how it should be told.
b) Gives the writer more structural elements than simply three or four acts, plot points, mid point and so on.
c) Interpreted metaphorically, laterally and symbolically, allows an infinite number of varied stories to be created.
and more...

Ever find yourself asking what the best way to reduce risk is? Well there are many investment strategies that are used to meet the increasing demands of the sellers. So structure a deal to fit the goals of the buyer, and the seller. The best single strategies to use is the use of options. When you use an option you maximize potential of profit, and reduce risk to your purchase. You are essentially buying time to allow a right for purchase at today’s agreed upon price in today’s market. In exchange for this right you must give some consideration. Here’s the advantage. If you use an option you have one hundred percent control of the situation. For example, if you pay a property owner $10,000 for the option to buy his or her property at the end of 18 months, you shall truly benefit from this arrangement. In today’s Fraser Valley Real Estate market there’s a good chance it will go up in value. You will cash in on this price increase. Options give you time. Clear, clean and simple! In real estate, you want to have time on your side whenever possible. You’ll only need to come up with a small amount of money in order to gain with limited risk.What if you don’t have five or ten thousand for a down payment?You can use sweat equity to purchase real estate with zero cash.

Is the special treatment you designed specifically to keep customers coming back working against you?A local jeweler offers free lifetime battery replacement for any watch he sells. It's a good hook to keep customers walking back in the store on a regular basis and increases his sales volume.But, it's backfired on him. And he's lost at least one customer because of it.He's run into a problem getting the batteries he needs and now has to send a customer's watch off to the manufacturer which lengthens the turn around time for the repair. One customer got so irate she's sworn she'll never do business with him again. Oops. Thousands of dollars of business lost over a $6 battery.What are the perks you provide for your customers? Does it make their life simpler, save them money or time? Or has it turned into a problem that's driving them away?You need to make sure it isn't. When you first roll out a customer perk, you need to walk through the process in your company just like you were a customer. That gives you an opportunity to fix any kinks or holes in the process before your customers are exposed to it. Then on a regular basis, every three to six months, you need to do a quality check to ensure the process is still working and make adjustments as necessary.

You pay commission for each closed sales to your sales reps. You don't pay any commission to your customer service reps. Perhaps you should. Perhaps it's time to start paying commissions to your customer service reps. Here's why.You know that you need to compensate your top sales performers well. Commission is a big part of their remuneration package. Top sales performers will move on and work elsewhere if they are not competitively compensated for the revenue that they generate for your organization.But, studies have shown that it costs less to keep a current customer than it does to convert a new one. Top customer service reps know how to keep current customers, keep them happy, and keep them buying from your organization.With that in mind, ask yourself the following question: Could your firm afford to lose its top customer service reps? I think not.When a customer service rep saves an unhappy customer from canceling an account, it saves a sales rep from having to sell a new account. When a customer service rep cross-sells an existing client it saves a sales rep from having to sell a new client. When a customer service rep renews an order, it saves a sales rep from having to generate a new order.As you see, a custo
