Strategic Planning Services
Planning Produces Profits
It is no secret that if you do not know where your are going, you will never get there.
We can help you create a simple plan to guide your daily operations towards your ultimate goals.
Business Checkup
Many small businesses are so entrenched in the day-to-day of their business that they rarely get an opportunity to reflect on their operations or consider outside factors that impact their business.
With a Business Checkup, we help companies realize what they know and do not know about their industry, competitors, customers and outside influences. We work to identify how they are using their valuable resources, what they do well and areas in which they can improve.
Power Strategy Sessions
Using the results from the Business Checkup, we work with owners and leaders to fill in the informational gaps and to identify potential opportunities and things that could hurt their business.
We then focus on identifying the best ways to maximize their efforts and defining what they would like their company to be like at point in time in the near future. The result is a succinct set of company objectives.
Right Size Planning
Most of our clients do not require the traditional 30 page business plan to run their business, they just need an abbreviated operational plan on paper that they can quickly review to focus their daily activities.
Our right sized business and marketing plans get right to point — they are action plans for success. We remove detailed information that a bank or investor may need and capture just what is needed for a company to efficiently and effectively accomplish their goals.
Just In Time Coaching
Running any business, especially a smaller one, is challenging. Situations arise with vendors, partners, employees, or even customers where an outside perspective would be helpful.
With Just It Time Coaching we answer questions to which we know the answers or offer advise of how to find the answers we do not know. We can provide direct honest feedback on an idea or problem, or just act as a sounding board. Let our experience work for you when you need it.
Virtual Marketing Director
Most small and midsize organizations’ budgets do not justify a full-time in-house marketing professional. Internet Greenhouse can provide many of the same services on a contract basis. We work hand-in-hand with someone inside our client firms to guide the process along and ensure that programs are implemented. Having an experienced strategic consultant on the outside, while you have someone to manage the day-to-day operations of marketing the firm on the inside, is just the right combination for a cost-effective and successful marketing program for smaller and midsize firms.
