Writing for Results – Writing Business Plans

Many people have business ideas but if you want to build a business, you need to write a plan that shows the details of how you will establish the business and make it grow. This customized course covers techniques and advice for crafting clear compelling messages and winning plans that speak to customer needs and investor goals. Writing the business plan in “plain English” will make it readable to all audiences.

The course is full of activities enabling all participants to practice critiquing and re-writing sample sections of a business plan and can be customized for business groups based on samples of actual business plans. It can be delivered in various formats (virtual, face-to-face, “lunch and learn, etc. ). Facilitators deliver the course using the MeetingSphere collaboration software platform which enables a “hands on” approach ensures a highly interactive and engaging learning experience.
