About The Book
Many people aspire to build a small business. Some become small business owners via a purchase or from a family estate. Unfortunately, most people cannot pull the trigger timely and moan about their decision for many years and even decades. I believe the following sentence captures the real meaning of starting a small business.
“If it was easy to start a business, most people today would own one.”
As you can imagine, keeping the business upright, requires an innovative formula to keep growing the business. This requires a plan. In our small business today, change occurs repeatedly, rapidly and you may not even know about when it does.
The questions, in each module, when discussed with your team members, help you arrive at ideas.
As each written question is discussed, the back and forth conversations between you and your team members, becomes more thoughtful about the business and marketing planning.
Today, we see many small business owners looking for people with multiple skill sets, while trying to keep the cash flow a positive number and better marketing and sales results.
People working in a small business wear many hats and have unique job descriptions. However, there is one hat, marketing manager, that must define what it takes to build the small business and meet company growth goals.
A small business marketing team should have people who understand the value of a positive marketing platform, salespeople who can sell, advertising that attracts, and all the employees living by the motto of “great customer service.”
A good plan starts with heavy duty thinking, finding answers to many business decisions, marketing and sales questions, and be able to analyze the results.

Module 1: Questions searching for answers.
Let’s start with number one, our SITUATION ANALYSIS, in a worksheet format. Each module is written using a Q&A interview method to learn about your organization’s internal and external environment.
For example, understanding your business capabilities, customer types, business environment, product, pricing, and revenue. The situation analysis is our tool to learn more about a company, which used by more than 2,500 small businesses. The Q&A leads to ideas for your marketing and advertising capabilities. Such questions as:
1.Precisely define your company and your product or service.
2. If you offer a product, define what it is, how it’s used, how it’s put together, and what are the expected results.
3. If you offer a service, tell us what you sell in seven words or less, and what a customer receives when they buy it, how the service will perform for the person and who purchases it, and specify the single most important benefit.

Small B2B businesses have used direct marketing mail as their main channel of communications with a sales force for many years.
Now, data drives all forms of marketing communication. However, raw data must be analyzed, segmented, profiled, measured and tested to make the data useful to marketing.
