Business Planning

Location:  EFSC Melbourne Campus, 3865 N Wickham Road,

A business plan is an essential roadmap for business success. This living document generally projects 3-5 years ahead and outlines the route a company intends to take to grow revenues. At the same time the plan identifies and incorporates risks that the enterprise might face, so the small business owner is prepared. Business planning tools, examples and outlines are provided

Sales Tactics for Small Business 
3:00 - 5:00 pm
Location: EFSC Melbourne Campus, 3865 N Wickham Road, 
Bldg. 10 Room 206
Speaker:  Ellen Little - Business Resolutions 
Particularly for entrepreneurs, getting a handle on basic sales strategies can be more critical to the success of a venture than the development of its products and services.  The truth is so many businesses have gone under because they don't know how to sell. You can have the greatest product or service on the market, but without sales strategies, you'll never get it off the ground.  The program is NO Cost. Reservations are required. Call the SBDC at 433-5570 or 433-5514 or register online:  http://floridasbdc.org/get-training/
