Business plan needs to update it as it is necessary to go
with the day to day changes. Things tend to get change so if you will stick
with your business plan without bringing changes in it then your business plan
will turn into a mere piece of paper and nothing more than that.
When
you should update your business plan
• On regular bases
• After meeting up with your clients and partners.
By
updating your business plan you process:
• Strategy
• Objectives
How to
manage the Planning Process
• Have a word with your customers
• Talk to your potential customers.
• Get to review your proposition
• Seek about your customers' inclination what he prefers to buy
• Identify the problems and ponder about the multiple solutions
How
about market segmentation
You need to examine your market by:
• Type of product
• Seek it buy channel/buyer
By doing this you will be able to have a fresh view so think of dividing by
region, by size of buyer company. Try this segmentation as it is highly
suggested for bringing healthy results.
For
up-dating your plan consider the following
• Observe the bigger potential market to identify problem
• Observe the up-coming trends and technologies.
Monthly
up-dating
Here you are supposed to re-examine your plan by tallying
your actual results and actual results consisted of the following:
• Sales
• Profits
• Balance
For the perfunctory projects it is wise to go by maintaining the table with the
plan. For adding up changes in budget that can be occur in future you must use
the table reserved for actual results.
Ideal
plan consists of:
• Assumptions
• Milestones
• Tasks
All these are supposed to be measurable. So better to review and update such
measures on monthly bases. Get a look of those deadlines and planned results
that don't strike into financials. So updating your plan is something that will
perish your business, without bringing changes in your plan won't lead you on a
smooth road.
