Strategic Planning
Strategic Planning is the process of determining the future goals of your organization and what resources will be needed to achieve these goals.
We believe that:
- Without a clear mission, shared vision, and stated goals, it is nearly impossible to achieve success.
- Developing a strategy is far more effective than leaving the future to chance.
- The best way to predict the future is to create it!
You need a Strategic Plan that is Interactive. Interactive Planning is more than living in the past (reactive planning) or doing nothing (inactive planning). Our process is more than just looking into the future and making predictions and forecasting (proactive planning or crystal ball planning.) It is all about moving yourself into the future and inventing your reality. This is called Interactive Planning and the result is creating and controlling your destiny.
Our job is to identify where your organization is right now, where you want to go, and how to get there. This is done by developing Interactive Strategic Plans with you. Ultimately, we want to help you execute the plans that will shape the future of your organization, identify the resources needed to ensure success, and implement the processes needed to measure results.
We offer a variety of strategic planning services that we personally customize to meet your specific needs:
Business Planning
A Business Plan is a living document that prioritizes and organizes the action steps needed to implement your strategy.
Setting goals is one thing,
achieving them is another.
We provide a format for developing specific strategies, converting those strategies into a business planning process, and establishing measurable and attainable results. By working closely with you, we create a working Business Plan that is functional, comprehensive, operationally based, and most importantly, alive.
Your Business Plan will include:
 |
Strategic Plan Recap (One-page plan "At-a-Glance") |
| |
Organization Chart and Job Descriptions |
| |
Budget |
| |
Market Plan |
| |
Sales Plan |
| |
Chronological Action Plan of Action Steps |

Detailed notes from Strategic and Business Planning Process |
You may know business owners who have created a business plan and simply let it sit on the bookshelf gathering dust. They failed to make it an integral part of their day-to-day business operations. Our goal is to assist you with the next crucial step - executing that plan. Our approach is to providing coaching to implement a structured review process to keep the plan "alive" by reviewing key measurements on a monthly basis. These business reviews are focused on tracking progress and making adjustments. We want to know where you stand and monitor your progress towards success. You have worked very hard to build your business and now you have the unique opportunity to create the future that you envision.
Coaching versus Consulting
Coaching provides powerful and lasting results over the long term.
We provide both coaching and consulting services depending on the needs of our clients. Some times we do some consulting while we are in a coaching session and vice versa. So what are the differences between coaching and consulting?

We set weekly scheduled meeting times at a fixed monthly price

Ultimate goal is for our clients to be self sufficient
Consulting:

So whether you need a holistic strategy for your entire organization, or assistance in just one area, Bellows Consulting can help Turn Your Vision into Reality and Your Potential into Performance.
Business Coaching
By coaching you through every vital part of your business, we help create the plan, inspired action and measurable results to achieve your vision.
Business Coaching is the process of closely working with business owners and managers in all areas of business management, administration and strategy. We want to develop the Three "P's" to maximize the potential of the business and help the owners realize their dreams.
In most cases, our clients are looking for assistance to develop and execute their strategic/business plan or to implement changes to increase sales, profit and business value. Through Business Coaching, we help them to establish processes, provide appropriate leadership, and exercise the discipline to achieve their goals. Business Coaching is also effective during transitional periods such as change of ownership or top management.
 By coaching you through every vital part of your business, we help create the plan, inspired action and measurable results to achieve your vision.
Whether it takes 6 months or several years, our business coaching process is all about helping you achieve your dreams by aligning and integrating your personal and professional goals. Feel free to ask some of our current clients what Business Coaching from Bellows Consulting has done for them.
Business Assessment
You need to know where you are now before you can determine where you are going.
Organizational assessments and personal assessments are important steps for you to better understand your current situation and to set realistic goals.
Our organizational assessment tool provides critical information about how well a business is communicating with its employees. Is there a clear direction that everyone is aiming for, or are there disconnects that keep the team from working together to achieve success? We examine the interrelationships of processes and departments within a business or organization to see if the goals are aligned and shared.
Our assessment is called D.I.A.L.O.G. (Data Indicating Alignment of Organizational Goals). This powerful web-based questionnaire survey gathers the views of employees anonymously. We then score responses, present results and make directional recommendations. We will tell you what gaps you have and how to fix them.
Marketing and Sales Planning
Buyers don't buy products and services - they buy the benefits and results of the products and services.
Having a laser like focus on your target customers is one of the most critical steps to increasing sales and improving profits. A Marketing Plan that includes market research, targeted market analysis, competitive analysis, pricing models, promotional analysis, budget plan, and a detailed marketing mix plan, will ensure that you are focused on reaching your priority customer base using the most effective methods.
While a Marketing Plan develops the strategies that are needed to penetrate different market segments, a Sales Plan develops the tactics that will be implemented on a per customer basis. Buyers don't buy products and services - they buy the benefits and results of the products and services. Communicating these benefits is the job of sales people (and every person in the company). A Sales Plan includes how the sales team will generate leads, approach customers and increase sales. Our Sales Development process will help any sales team plan for success, get commitments, and master the buying/selling process.
Exit Strategy Planning/Succession Planning
Your business needs to be at "Peak Performance" to maximize its value and generate an exceptional return on investment.
At some time, most small business owners start thinking about "What's Next"? Am I going to sell my business? To Whom? For how much? When?
We help you answer these questions and create a strategy to build your business so that you can sell it or have someone else manage it for you. This requires planning and execution. Any way you look at it, your business needs to be at a "Peak Performance" to maximize its value and generate an exceptional return on investment.
International Expansion (Asia)
Make your investment in Asia count.
 In this global economy, many successful U.S. companies must have a significant international presence in many parts of Asia. Expanding into Asia can mean a variety of different things - from selling more products - to finding representatives - to opening new facilities - to finding new sources for products, services and manufacturing.
Expanding into Asia can be a large commitment of your time and resources - this is not the time for you to re-invent the wheel or attempt to go it alone. The difference in cultures, business etiquette, and contracts - not to mention travel, time and food can make it a very challenging adventure. And each country in Asia is unique and requires special attention and knowledge. Make your investment in Asia count and let Bellows Consulting help you:
- Expand Sales opportunities into various Asian countries and regional markets
- Find international partners or representatives
- Locate appropriate sites for sales, service or manufacturing
- Find new Asian sources for products and services
- Create targeted advertising, marketing and sales strategies
- Arrange EXIM insurance and financing to assist with exports
