Business Plan definition
A business plan is a
must when launching a
new business or changing
an existing business. It is
a tool that helps to decide
whether or not to invest
money, resources and
time to reach a set of
goals
The audience of a
business plan can be
internal (CEO, C-suite,
executive managers, etc.)
or external (investors,
donors, customers, etc.)
A business plan is a formal
document which describes
a set of achievable
objectives and how to
reach them
... a good business plan can help to make a good business credible, understandable, and
attractive to someone who is unfamiliar with the business. Writing a good business plan
cant guarantee success, but it can go a long way toward reducing the odds of failure

A business plan has to be
Your business plan should be understood by a 15 year old kid. If its
not the case it means that either your business idea is not clear
enough in your head, or that the sentences and words you use are too
complex
If your idea is not clear enough in your head, you need to keep
brainstorming until you find the perfect sequence of words that will
be easily understood by anyone
Dont try to prove to your audience that you are smart by using
complex sentences and words. This is business, not literature! If
one third of the population needs to read your sentence twice, you
failed to communicate efficiently!

A business plan has to be
Dont provide a 100+ page business plan to your audience. The CEO,
executive managers or investment bankers dont have time to read so
many pages and they will not rate your business idea according to the
number of pages you have written. You need to demonstrate your
ability to synthesize. Your can write a long version for yourself but for
your audience you need to be straight to the point
Use diagrams and charts as they are worth a thousand words

overlooked but very important element of creating a business that customers love. A strong unique selling proposition
allows you to stand apart from competitors and actively focus your energy on creating things that cater to your ideal

6.3.Pricing - Guiding principles (1/3)
Set the price regarding your production
cost, your distribution cost and your
expected profit margin
E.g. it may cost $100 to produce a
product and the company adds 20% as a
profit margin so the selling price would be
$120.00
1. Cost plus pricing
Set a low price to increase sales and
market share. Once market share has
been captured the firm may then increase
their price
E.g. a television satellite company sets a
low price to get subscribers then
increases the price as their customer
base increases
2. Penetration pricing strategy
Set a price in comparison with
competitors
E.g. Conduct a competitor analysis and
decide whether or not you want to set a
higher, lower or the same price as them.
If you have a significant competitive
advantage you may want to set a higher
price
4. Competition based pricing
Set the price regarding the value
perceived by the customer. A market
survey may help you to set up the right
price
3. Value-based pricing
Top 10 pricing strategies that can help you to set the price of your products
Set an initial high price and then slowly
lower the price to make the product
available to a wider market. The objective
is to skim profits of the market layer by
layer
E.g. Apple, with its Iphone products, uses
a skimming pricing strategy
5. Skimming pricing

6. Marketing plan
6.3.Pricing - Guiding principles (2/3)
Set different prices for different products
within the same product range in order to
reach different target markets E.g.
Peugeot sells different cars at different
prices
6. Product line pricing
Set a price according to the customers
psychology
E.g. a product can be charged $99
instead of $100
7. Psychological pricing
Set the same price as your main
competitors in order to avoid price wars
and maintain a moderate but stable level
of profit
E.g. Some telecom companies are using
a Status Quo pricing
9. Status Quo Pricing
Set a high price to reflect the
exclusiveness of your product
E.g. Ferrari uses a premium pricing
strategy
8. Premium pricing
Set optional pricing by presenting a low
base price that is capable of attracting
customers while maintaining the
possibility of selling costly add-ons later
E.g. Computer printers often have a very
low initial entry price, while the cost of
printer ink cartridges is substantial
