Strategy, Goals and Results
A year after Calvin started the business, it began to get traction in the market for its beard products. However, sudden growth produced challenges for the company that it was not prepared for. The business’s finances were stretched razor-thin. Calvin faced a big decision regarding staffing, distribution, product positioning, production and did not know what to do. He did not have a plan.
Calvin engaged MentorMyBizness to help develop a business plan to guide the company’s growth. The engagement began with an Assessment defining the current state of the business (i.e., sales and marketing, operations, financial), getting feedback and perspectives from Calvin and his team. The Assessment helped set the stage for planning by identifying key areas to address during the planning sessions.
Short-term Goals:
- Define direction and how to get there
- Plan to make business fundamentally sound
- Position company to raise private capital from investors
Long-term Goals:
- To become the leading men’s grooming brand.
