Writing a Winning Business Plan

A step-by-step 2.5 hour workshop that arms each participant with the fundamentals on how to write an effective and winning business plan. This is useful for anyone in the process of starting a new business or for someone who started a new business in the past couple years. It also discusses the importance of the Business Plan, how to tailor it to the audience it's being presented to, and how SCORE will assist you as you develop your plan through free one-on-one mentoring.

This workshop will be interactive, and each participant will perform a number of exercises that will assist him or her to develop their own winning business plan. The workshop content will include the following:

Why do you need a business plan
What your business plan needs to include
The importance of the Executive Summary & what must be included
Making the plan shorter & more dynamic
Suggestions on developing the required financial projections & making them realistic

Social Media Strategy That Work: Facebook, Google Plus, Twit

Many small business owners are overwhelmed with social media channels because there are so many of them, and usually only one person is doing all the marketing - you - the business owner.

If you wonder why it seems like social media keeps changing - wonder no more - social media continues to change. Unfortunately, getting people to “LIKE” your business Page does not imply that they like your services, nor that they will buy from you.

How do you keep up with all the changes? How do you know where to spend your time, energy and money?

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIN - so many social media platforms but which one should you use? Which one will drive results?

Presented By: Ray Greico, President/Founder, Engage Sales & Marketing, LLC
