used to finance working capital, plant and equipment, real estate
and my Ferrari Testarossa. The company will be incorporated and
common stock issued to investors. The company will be run as a

ÁÁThis venture was very successful in generating and increasing
sales, but was not effective in achieving profitability. The main
reason for this was the amount of actual overhead experienced.
This overhead was not initially anticipated by me at the beginning
of that venture. Items including credit checking, warranty program
management, extensive travel, maintaining warehouse stock and the
management and expense of a national sales force were expenses not
originally forecast or expected. With this level of overhead, it
was mathematically impossible to achieve profitability

At this price it was determined that for all but the lowest sales

simple widgets.

ÁÁTo test this price, we called a database of 50 large users of
simple widgets. We first questioned them about the desirability of
our extra features and then asked them directly if this price would
be acceptable if such a product were available. We found that 75%

we received 10 firm orders representing approximately 30% of this

Ô ‰? ÔÁÁà ÃGeneral HistoryÄ Ä

Ô ‰?§ Ôà ÃSAMPLE:Ä Ä



ÁÁThe first widget was introduced into the market in 1036.
Widgets remained much as the original production until well into
the 20th century when computer modeling showed that there could be
some enhancements made to the basic widget. The market for widgets
has been generally steady with market growth closely following the
typical population growth. At this time there are approximately
1,500 companies worldwide making comparable simple widgets.




ÁÁLawn care companies have enjoyed a period of steady growth
over the past twenty years. This demand is due to many factors,
not the least of which is the advance of lawn care technology. In
our proposed marketing area, there are 25 lawn care services.


Ô ‰? ÔÁÁà ÃEntry StrategyÄ Ä

Ô ‰?Ÿ Ôà ÃSAMPLE:Ä Ä



ÁÁOur widget has been designed by the latest in computer aided
design. We are able to manufacture our complex widgets on computer
driven assembly lines using the latest in robotics manufacturing.
This gives us a tremendous price advantage.

ÁÁWe intend to market our complex widget through all the normal
channels available to simple widgets. These include retail,
wholesale, and OEM. To penetrate this market efficiently and
swiftly, we intend to initially use commission sales
representatives strategically located throughout the USA. We also
will start a national advertising campaign targeting the end user
in various national publications and on national TV commercials.

Ôç%ˆ,”(”(°°Ô ÁÁOur sales representatives will be chosen based on their own
experience in the marketplace. It is our intention to hire the
best and the brightest among those currently available. Our
marketing tests included many of the reps we initially would like
to hire.



ÁÁOver the past few years, we have noticed an increase in demand
for full lawn care services © not just grass cutting and snow
removal. Our computerized office allows us to track our clients
needs and schedule house calls on one hours notice.

ÁÁWe intend to attack this market very aggressively through the
use of:

ÁÁ1.Á` ` ÁA pool of 10 telemarketers.
ÁÁ2.Á` ` ÁHouse©to©house visits to neighbors of present clients.
ÁÁ3.Á` ` ÁAdvertisements in upscale magazines.
ÁÁ4.Á` ` ÁRadio advertisements on weekends.
ÁÁ5.°` ` ÂSales calls on real estate management companies.Æ(#` Æ

ÁÁAs we are offering a unique service, informing the public of
our capabilities is of utmost importance. Ôøˆ,”(”(°°Ô Ô ‰? ÔÁÁà ÃGrowth Strategy Ä Ä

Ô ‰? Ôà ÃSAMPLE:Ä Ä



ÁÁAfter having successfully introduced the complex widget into
the American market, our expansion will be in two separate areas:
increasing sales in the USA and entering various foreign markets.

ÁÁAfter we have reached our first year sales goals, we intend to
offer our sales reps the opportunity to sell our products
exclusively by joining our company. We expect that a small
percentage will desire to remain independent and these will have to
be replaced with our own sales force. We intend to develop further
sales reps from within by hiring and training them in our own sales
methods. We will increase national advertising and begin targeting
smaller accounts and specialty outlets. Additionally, we will
conduct in house seminars for various OEM's demonstrating how the
inclusion of complex widgetry into their own products will increase
the value of their products.



ÁÁAfter having successfully completed this entry phase into this
market in the geographical are we have chosen, we will then expand
our market by doing the following:

ÁÁ1.Á` ` ÁExpand telemarketing pool to 20.
ÁÁ2.Á` ` ÁIncrease number of direct sales reps.

machine and assembly will allows us to produce 24 hours a day as
the entire assembly process is fully automated with state©of©theªart robotics of American manufacture.

ÁÁWith robotics our labor costs and therefore our production
costs will be the lowest in the industry. To maintain our

our potential machinery suppliers. Most importantly we have an
ongoing relationship with several universities and are actively
participating in various studies and experiments relating to
production methods.

ÁÁThese machines also incorporate quality checking by lasers.
All products must come within XX% of specifications. Also, at
regular intervals we will be using human inspection of products and
machines.

ÁÁWe do not anticipate generating any toxic materials at this

all production to determine if any hazardous materials are being
generated. We have contracted with an environmental engineering

point, he is well qualified to continue our research efforts.

ÁÁOur next research project will center around using this new
lubricant in our manufacturing processes and testing of a new
material that has come to our attention.

ÁÁTo this point, our research has paid for itself as we have
been keying on bringing this new product to market. However, now
that we are becoming more experimental in our research efforts such
a continued success ratio can not be maintained.

ÁÁWe have been investigating several potential government (both
state and federal) funding sources. Our present program of joint
research with the local university has b=proven very beneficial.Ôˆ,”(”(°°Ô Ô ®c ÔÐÐÔ¤ ÔÃÃà Ã××HISTORICAL FINANCIAL DATA××Ä ÄÄÄ

our proforma statements and appropriate action taken to adjust
costs or our budget. If we find that we are continually over
budget, our first step will be to reevaluate our markup on
[Product/Service]s and then to recheck our costs to make certain
that we are obtaining the best possible prices.

  1. Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

  2. This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

  3. But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
