SUMMARY:Chamber U: Business Plan and Targeting Customers
DESCRIPTION:You can start a business without a formal business plan and run it by ?the seat of the pants?.  But growing that same business often splits or frays that seat of the pants.  A good business plan will help you obtain financing\, arrange strategic alliances\, attract key employees\, and boost your confidence.  It sells your company to the world and gives you direction as the world answers back.  A carefully crafted plan can  actually be a sales tool for identifying and targeting your customers ? the life-blood of your business.? \n\n	\n\n	Presented by: \n\n	\n\n	Alan Minker is a Partner with B2B CFO\, the nation?s largest CFO firm which was founded in 1987.  B2B CFO specializes in serving entrepreneurial\, growth and mid-market companies on an affordable\, ?as-needed? basis\, and takes those companies to a higher level of success. \n\n	\n\n	Alan has over 30 years of management experience including over 17 years in CFO or senior executive positions in diverse industries.  His expertise includes success in a variety of strategic environments including turnarounds\, joint ventures\, and high-growth.
