Business Plan Functions: Business Plans/Atlanta – Alpharetta – Nationwide (404-580-1501)


Business plans are blueprints for the financial and operational activities of a business venture, person, or other organizational entity. They are particularly needed for new businesses or startups, but are also in demand for expansions and existing organizations that require change or changes.

This Atlanta area writing service writes/provides business plans that function exceptionally for their respective entrepreneurs and managers period, whether in Alpharetta, Atlanta, or elsewhere. Now - what functions do business plans actually serve, and why are they required?

FINANCING

Business plans/business blueprints are needed and required for the financing of new businesses (or organizations), expanding or changing ongoing businesses, the operations of organizations, and for organizational framework.

Financing is acquired through either attracting or persuading investors to join-in on the venture by acting as venture capitalists investing money OR by securing some form of loan(s) from banks or other financial institutions or Small Business Administration loans, etc.



INVESTING

Those investing money into the venture are owners; whereas those loaning cash are creditors. Each needs to see a solid business plan before they provide cash money to an operation, especially if it is a new business. They demand it, and so would you.

The investors generally want to know the basics about your unique idea, how it will make money, and what they can expect for their initial and subsequent investments. Apart from extremely large deals, investors require smaller business plans – often these investors are members of the family, friends, neighbors, acquaintances, co-workers, etc.

LOANING

Banks and financial institutions, on the other hand, want every “t” crossed and “I” dotted. In addition to applications and paperwork (red tape) they want a blueprint explaining and justifying the loan.

Detailed projections and financial data are asked for by these institutions in Atlanta and everywhere else, and need to be explained, in addition to operational, functional, managerial, marketing/sales, staffing, equipment/inventory, and other activities related to organizations’ missions and visions.

MONEY MATTERS

Indeed - investors & creditors/banks like to know exactly what they will get back, when they will receive it, and how it will be secured or acquired to be given to them. Yes, there is a little more to a business plan or business blueprint than just stating Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT Analysis).

OPERATIONAL & FUNCTIONAL PURPOSES

Business plans also serve as the blueprint for setting-up, managing, and running companies. They provide order and keep organizations focused on their missions and the financial and operational means of being successful.

Things change. Conditions change. The Economic environment changes. This makes it sensible to update a business plan regularly, about every 18 to 24 months.

Organizations never really know what opportunities or disasters might be right around the future corner. As such, it pays to keep information updated and ready for future use with little adjusting required.

At JIMMY HALL WRITING SERVICES/Atlanta (404-580-1501), I assist people by writing business plans/developing business plans they need to acquire financing and keep their ideas and organizations on track.


Improve Website Content: Better Web Writing/Atlanta (404-580-1501)

Atlanta and Georgia are no different than anywhere else around the nation and world as far as the need for solid web content/web-writing is concerned. If you want to increase sales, attract more online website/blog traffic. But, how?

INCREASE ONLINE TRAFFIC

To increase online traffic, post better web writing/web content that is search engine optimized (seo), organized, informative, relevant, and persuasive enough to be successful in “calling readers to action” and converting them to your cause (usually sales).

POST - WRITE WEB WRITING

The key thing to understand about web writing/web content is that it is not the same as traditional writing (print writing/scholarly writing). A great regular writer might-well be a lousy web content writer. Why?

Web writing requires a knowledge of not only informing and converting (like traditional copywriting), but also the ability of ATTRACTING its own audience. It is actually “double communicating.” I’ll explain.



Web content and those that write it create & supply their own demand via the afore-mentioned seo techniques. (Excuse the Economic terms, I hold two Economics degrees.) Both readers and search engines must be considered while providing web content or web copy.

SEARCH ENGINE FRIENDLY

Web material must be written in a manner that it is ranked and indexed well by the search engines (Google, Bing, Yahoo!, etc) so that YOU show-up when people search for the kinds of products and services you/your company offers. Post search engine-friendly material.

WEBSITES MARKET/WEB MARKETING

A website that simply supports the company with information is basically useless; it needs to be utilized as a marketing tool (modern day Yellow Pages). If no one visits your website without you sending them there, what good is it? Visibility and web traffic matter!

Securing Clients: Business Proposals/Atlanta 404-580-1501 – Jimmy Hall


Business proposals are used to sell services or products by securing contracts with clients, and those in need of what your organization provides.

Often times people improperly interchange and use the terms “business plan” and “business proposal,” when in fact a business plan is about a proposed business venture and a business proposal refers to the selling of what the business venture actually does.

For example, someone starting a new security firm in Atlanta would need a business plan to secure funding and have a business blueprint to run on. Then, the same firm would need a business proposal to pitch their services for hire to apartment complexes, malls, truck lines, sporting venues, etc around Atlanta and its environs.

The key to business proposals is to present your company in a favorable light to the potential client, demonstrate specific solutions (through products and services) for solving their problem(s), and provide these remedies and services at an acceptable price with agreeable follow-up services.

A business proposal should instill trust towards your organization, confidence in its ability to perform, and create a greater value for the products and services you provide – as opposed to that of your competitors.

The idea is to be the best and present your company as the best, but to be very approachable and adaptable to changing conditions. Business deals are about relationships and communications between living and breathing human beings.

Demonstrate that your organization is a solid and honest one, and can supply the demand required at a fair price, and the contract may well be yours. Hire a great business proposal writer!


I am Jimmy Hall (404-580-1501) and I develop and write business proposals for not only people around Atlanta, but nationwide via the World Wide Web. Give me a call if you might need assistance. Thanks…

Business Plan Development 101: Business Plan Writer/Atlanta ~ (404) 580-1501

There is always a steady flow of chatter about “business plans.” Everyone knows they are required and much-needed, but few people really know exactly why. Tip: business plan development by a business plan writer/business plan developer in Atlanta or New York or anywhere else is an extremely important function.

Why Are Business Plans Important?

Why are business plans so important for startups and expansions in Atlanta and across the nation? They are business blueprints. A business plan is the basis for acquiring financing for the venture, as well as the outline and blueprint proscribing organizational operations while it is up and running.

In blunt terms, the business plan gets the organization cash and directs day to day and long-term operations. Money is the first concern, functioning effectively and efficiently the second. The doors cannot open without financing and an initial cash supply.

Business Financing: Loans or Investments

This cash can come in the form of loans from financial institutions or banks, which become creditors; or this financing might come in the form of venture capital or cash from investors that believe in the organization’s concept/idea. Investors generally become partial owners in the organization.

The fact is that before a venture capitalist or any financial firm provides money to anyone or any other organization, they want to know about the outfit and exactly how the money will be used. Then, there is also the issue of repayment with interest or return on investment. Nobody or firm wants to lose or throw away money on an unjustified gamble.
  
Business Plan Writers/Developers

A good business plan writer or business plan developer/Atlanta knows the precise information and data needed from his or her client, and exactly how to plan, assimilate, edit, word, and organize it for delivery.

This business blueprint data/info revolves around:
1.    Basic Contact Info/addresses of key players.
2.    Company Name and potential address/area.
3.    Basic Idea or Concept.
4.    Background/Origins.
5.    Management Team Information.
6.    Mission, Vision, Slogan, and Logo.
7.    Products/Services/Prices.
8.    Operations.
9.    Marketing Plan/Target Market.
   10. Competition.
   11. Financial Facts and Projections: Revenues/Expenses.
   12. S.W.O.T. Analysis Info.
   13. Industry/Subject-Specific Info/Misc.

 Why so much information?

The business plan to an organization looking for financing is somewhat like a resume for a person looking for a new job. It must be factual, moderately detailed, neat, easy to read, persuasive/convincing, well-organized, have an inherent call to action, and be consistent (throughout) with the proposed mission of the organization.

Do not settle for a mediocre business plan developer/writer. At Jimmy Hall Writing Services/Atlanta (404) 580-1501, I craft great business plans for my clients. I hold two business degrees (BBA/MS) and an English minor, in addition to real-world business experience, that I place at your disposal. Thanks….

Business Blogs: Blog Content/Content Writers Atlanta 404-580-1501


Business Blogs are IN. Yes, blogs are the way to rank well with search engines, increase website traffic, provide information as well as instant sales, interact with clients, customers, and potential customers, and to present a proper image to the public presenting what your organization is really all about. However, there is more.

Business Blogs – WHY?

Your organization needs a business blog written by agreat blog content writer to support or drive traffic to your website and web pages – this is done through search engine optimization (seo) and simple links and referencing.

Nothing whatsoever that you do from a marketing standpoint is as efficient or effective per dollar as blogging. It is a great “bang for the buck” and “ROI” (return on investment. Why and how so?



Blog Benefits Versus Blog Costs?

Blogs themselves are free, all you pay for are the blog content writer(s) you hire and/or the time the staff person administering it spends posting and promoting the blog site. What a deal.

The idea is to have your top 15 or 20 keywords/long-tailed keyword phrases throughout your blog, with a 1 – 2 concentrated in each piece (though keywords seem to have lost a small amount of their luster with Google) along with other tried and proven search engine optimization techniques.

After Hiring Writers, What’s Next?

Once you have hired a great blog writer(s) and looked at his or her or their blogs/websites and negotiated a decent price (usually $15 - $24 per each 300-400 word piece), the fun begins. My firm, Jimmy Hall Writing Services (404-580-1501), charges a moderate rate for clever work copy.

As you are provided the content, it is best to set a regular schedule for posting it, so as to obtain followers (if you want them) and to stay in tune with the search engines.

Blog Hosts/Platforms

Personally, I recommend BLOGGER as your blog host/platform (owned by Google) since Google seems to give preference and a higher crawler frequency to it than other hosts, although many people and organizations love Word Press also – and some companies add their blog directly to their websites.

Just like any other marketing technique on the World Wide Web or Internet, getting the sale(s) is all about ATTRACTING-Informing-Converting. This is done via search engine optimization (seo), good and concise relevant writing, and solid “calls to action” in the blog content. A good host is a plus.

A great or even good blog content writer knows what has been written here, and more than likely employs these methods in practicing his craft.


At Jimmy Hall Writing Services/Atlanta (404-580-1501) I would like to discuss becoming your blog content provider. Feel free to contact me soon. I’m Jimmy; thanks for taking a look.

WRITING INCREASES BOTTOM LINES

This Atlanta – Macon area writing service contemplates, plans, assimilates, organizes, and then writes projects and sends/delivers them (usually via e-mail). Writing service clients want solid copy that serves its purpose at a reasonable rate/price. I would also!!

I write each project as if it is for my family or myself. That sounds corny, but it is true. I take writing seriously. You should, as well – to increase sales and accomplish goals.

WRITING MEANS COMMUNICATING

The whole idea of “writing” is COMMUNICATING, whether you are looking for sales, memberships, or trying to persuade someone to do or believe something and make changes. It takes much tact to be able to write in such a way as to engage the reader and move/call/persuade them to see things your way and take action. I can do it.

Converting Web Readers - Call To Action: Atlanta 404-580-1501

Do you have a great website that is informative, very-well optimized for search engines, with a lot of web traffic but few sales? Do you know this feeling? It happens in Atlanta like everywhere else. Why?

While your webpages are likely neat, fact-based, and pleasurable to read and understand, they obviously do not prompt the reader to act. There is likely not a good ”call to action,” or “persuasion to purchase.” What? A good "call to action" is an absolute must.

People, including potential clients, are often info-seekers and need to be prompted to actually purchase products or services. Let’s face it, the Web and Internet are full of window shoppers. No one has to buy anything that is not a necessity, even though they might like to do so often.

It is important to demonstrate what your products and services can provide and the void they fill (or the problem they solve) for potential customers/ clients in the Atlanta area, or wherever your target market is located.

The call to action must be repeated, and contact info should be readily viewable for impatient and lazy readers. Making Web sales is not easy.

There absolutely must be a connection between the viewer (potential client/customer) and the company via the website. The site’s web content must speak WITH and TO the reader, and not just AT the reader. It should be all about communications.

Yes, a website and individual webpages must attract, inform, and convert clients and customers – ALL THREE. The first two functions do little if any good if conversion (the web sale) does not take place.

Calls to action must be subtly and sometimes obviously stated or placed at suitable intervals to convince the readers to become engaged in the organization’s activities (become customers).


At Jimmy Hall Writing Services (404-580-1501), I can assist you with conversions and making sales.
