Market Research
Research your current or proposed market; either nationally, state-wide or locally. Market research establishes your credentials, gives peace of mind and allows your business proposal to be advanced.
Preparation of Business Plans
With market research underpinning your business proposal, Dimensional Data can turn it into a Business Plan ready for presentation. Incidentally, a Business Plan allows you to track progress as your business grows. Business Plans are “living documents” which ideally should be revised at least each 6 months.
Preparation of Marketing Plans
A Marketing Plan may either be a stand-alone document or incorporated into your Business Plan. You make this choice to best suit your specific situation. Consider a Marketing Plan with sufficient detail to identify your market segment.
Preparation of Business Action Plans
Action Plans are becoming more popular. Avoiding the formality of a Business Plan and/or a Marketing Plan, an Action Plan details those tasks which need to be completed to advance any business. All tasks can be delegated as assurance that “something is being done” and that it is not “all talk”.
Business Mentoring
Mentoring gives support and encouragement. As an effective, confidential mentor, Dimensional Data is able to assess a business situation providing alternative options. A mentor is not close to any business yet draws on a large range of experiences to provide options. Mentors may also become involved in following-up on tasks listed in a Business Action Plan.
Business Networking
Networking is a process and Dimensional Data can give you the key points to be an effective networker. Personal mentoring would also play a supportive role until you became confident. Networking is cheaper than advertising. Instead, make your business cards work for you.
Chinese Business Relationship Development
Dimensional data is able to tutor you in the “do’s and don’ts” of doing business in China. Advice on how to make contacts is provided whether it be through government agencies or private contacts.
Preparation of Funding Submissions
There will be instances when state and national governments have business programs for which written submissions are required. Dimensional Data can identify these for you and even prepare submissions for consideration of appropriate funding.
Guide to Local Government
Not all states are the same for their regulations – planning, building, health and local laws. Your time can be saved if knowledge is gathered first and then assessed against what you wish to do.
Writing Editorial
Dimensional Data can do this for you – for magazines, newspapers and similar. Copy is first checked by you before submission to an editor.
Liaison with Estate Agents and Independent Site Selection
This service is aligned with you wishing to site a new business or perhaps even just extending. Dimensional Data can be the third party without any vested interest, acting as an anonymous intermediary to compile a real estate listing for your further consideration. Applicable planning and zoning overlays can be attached to such a listing.
Succession Planning
Generally, a Business Action Plan or a Business Plan should contain such a contingency. Rather than “get around to it”, contact Dimensional Data to begin preparation of your succession plan. In conjunction with an accredited Financial Planner, your succession plan will advantage your medium to long term strategic planning.
Conducting Focus Groups
Focus groups are an effective form of informal networking and peer support. Small groups, organized in a relaxed situation, sensibly discuss issues, previously determined by consensus. Time spent in focus groups is efficient, effective, normally of a short duration and highly focused.
