At Gaebler, we advise new business owners to keep your business plan simple. Length and polish aren't as important as consistency, accuracy and thoroughness.
If your time is limiting, outline the essentials of your sales presentations company's business plan now and make a commitment to come back to it later.
Assess the Competition
Prior to opening a sales presentations business in your area, it's essential to see how many competitors you have. Use the link below to get a list of local competitors nearby. Simply enter your city, state and zip code to get a list of sales presentations businesses in your town.
Is the local market large enough to support another sales presentations business? If not, you had better be sure that you are doing things much better than the competition.
Talk to People Who Are Already in the Business
If you are interested in starting a sales presentations business, it's a wise move to have a conversation with someone who is in the business. It's very unlikely that the local competition will talk to you. The last thing they want to do is help you to be a better competitor.
However, a fellow entrepreneur who has started a sales presentations business in a location that is not competitive to you will be much more likely to talk with you, as long as they don't view you as a competitive threat. Indeed, many experienced entrepreneurs enjoy offering advice to startup entrepreneurs. If you are persistent, you can find a business mentor who is willing to help you out.
The key question new becomes: how to find an owner of a sales presentations business who is willing to talk to you but doesn't live nearby?
It's easy. Here's a link you can use to find a mentor outside of your area.
Why You Should Buy (Instead of Start) a Sales Presentations Business
Spurred on by dreams of a future big money buyout and an undeniable entrepreneurial impulse, many would-be sales presentations business owners are driven to pursue startup strategies.
Yet a healthier and safer strategy may be to purchase an existing sales presentations business.
Most notably, a sales presentations business includes more than just assets - a brand identity and customer base come with the keys to the front door. When you buy, you also gain the ability to sidestep all of the trial-and-error that comes standard with any sales presentations business startup.
Consider Buying a Franchise
Franchising is a smart move for entrepreneurs just getting started in small business ownership. As a franchisee, you'll have access to a broad knowledge base, established supply chains, proven operational processes and other resources. Today's franchises offer a range of opportunities for ambitious startups.
