From the small business experts
at SCORE Vancouver
A half-day seminar to get you and your business
off to a strong start.
Too many hours have been wasted creating fill-in the blanks business plans just because someone said you needed one but didn’t explain why !
This accelerated seminar focuses on helping you to really think about the business you want to start or the business you already have We’ll show you how to analyze how your business intends to create or capture and deliver value to customers (That’s what a business model is)
Together we’ll help you define and size your customers segments (that’s a “market”), how to view and overcome or sidestep the competition and how to make your business visible to your prospects (that’s “marketing”).
We’ll put you in a position to dissect all aspects of your business idea, particularly the ones you are uncomfortable with. We’ll also help you see there are always different alternatives and an orderly, unemotional process for selecting the best ones.
Only when all the thinking is done, do you capture it in one or many plans each designed for a particular audience.
A Little Help From Your Friends – So we get that you’ve probably been to lots of classes that however great didn’t help you produce a useful result. That’s where this class is different. After the workshop you’ll be able to schedule free one on one sessions with experienced SCORE mentors who will work with you to make sure you end up with a plan that make a difference to your business and your life.
