Palo Alto Software

It's About the Plan 
So you're looking to develop a marketing plan. You might be a business owner or business manager. You might be a marketing expert, beginner, or pragmatic do-it-yourself person. Either way, our goal is to help you get that plan built in a logical, orderly way and accomplish your goals. 
If you're already a marketing expert, we think we can still help you develop a plan. You probably already know all we have to offer about marketing strategy and tactics, but we can help you through the planning process, give you the step-by-step guide, and suggest a methodology for channeling what you know into a logically sequenced, orderly plan that you'll be able to implement. You know as well as anybody that marketing plans are not as generally accepted and defined as business plans, so the framework itself can help you get the job done. 
If you're not a marketing expert, then look at this book as a practical guide to the basics, and a part of the process of developing a plan. We've tried to give you all you really need to know, from a practical point of view, to develop a marketing plan. This book includes details on how to develop your strategy, how to focus on key elements, analyze and research your market, develop strategy and tactics, project your sales and build your budget, so you can create a plan that you can implement. 
Regardless of your background or experience, you want your marketing plan to be a useful document that describes your current situation, states your strategy, and outlines a pragmatic approach to accomplish your desired results.

Lean business planning simple but powerful way to get what you want from your business. Get focused, grow faster, and adjust to change. A lean business plan is an easy and practical way to align strategy, tactics, milestones, assumptions, and essential cash flow without the fuss of a full business plan. It's not a business plan document. It's just bullet points and lists and tables. Keep it short and review and revise monthly in just an hour or so. It's planning that matters, the process - not the plan. The book includes easy ways to summarize strategy and tactics to remind you and visualize strategic alignments. It explains how to set review schedules, milestones, and performance tracking and measurement. It includes step-by-step explanations, with lots of examples, of how to develop a sales forecast and expense budget, and how to plan real cash flow. It also covers how to review and revise the plan every month, what to look for, how to pull in your team, how to decide when to stick to a plan and when to change it. It's for all business owners, entrepreneurs, and startups. It applies the power of lean startups and lean manufacturing to simple daily management including task responsibilities, measurement, expectations, and getting the right things done. It's not about a business plan document. No need to include long texts, summaries, or descriptions. Just focus on what should be done, by whom, when, and why, and how much money it takes. Its author is the world's leading expert on business planning, not just a consultant or academic, but an entrepreneur who bootstrapped his own company to multi-million sales, was a co-founder of another company that went public, and advises multiple startups and small businesses. And he's a Stanford MBA and angel investor. In a Foreword written by Guy Kawasaki, he says: "I'm recommending this book because what Tim calls a lean business plan is pretty much what I call the MATT (for milestones, assumptions, tests, and tasks) in The Art of the Start. "Tim's lean plan involves bullet points, lists, and tables that help you run your business--as opposed to pitch investors. This includes the metrics you can track, milestones, assumptions, regular review, and frequent revisions. "Use this book to get what you want from your business. Use it to focus, set priorities, follow up on what needs doing, manage people and resources, and get the right things done. Whether you're looking to start a new business or just run an existing business better, this book will help you set a strategic focus and tactics to match. If you do end up dealing with investors who want a business plan, this book even explains how you can stick with a lean plan and add what investors want." Takeaways: <ul>
