Strategic Writing:

Your Plan or Proposal is too Important to Leave to Chance

Don’t Risk Your Business or Organization to Pre-fab Business Plan Scams – Our Plans and Proposals are Custom-Written for You and Your Business Alone

Hello:

You know the stakes.

Without a well-written, well-conceived business plan, proposal, marketing plan or grant proposal your business or non-profit organization will never get past the point you’re at right now.  It’s critical your plan wows the people who read it and who make the decision whether you get funding or not.

If you’re a start-up with a lot of enthusiasm and energy and you know your stuff – you’re in the right place. Or, if you’ve had a business or organization for a few years and you know now is the time to take it to the next level – keep reading.  You know you need capital – so do prospective angels, investors, banks or funding agencies.

Help is on the Way

I write business plans, marketing plans, grant proposals and business proposals that make investors, banks, funding agencies and prospective clients sit up and take notice.  Never a slapped-together plan from a kit.  Always a plan custom-tailored to your business or organization and what you want to create.

Not only am I a strong writer who understands the subtle secrets of successfully moving people with words. I’m great at pulling out the best in you, so your plan or proposal puts your best foot forward.

Investors look carefully at which ideas and concepts to fund, or, which proposals to move forward on.  Your responsibility is to create the most positive, encouraging impression with your words that helps them see your vision clearly.  Doing it well can change your business and your life.

Your business is unique. One of a kind.  You’ve discovered a need in the marketplace and the right products and services to successfully fulfill that need.  Now, the right plan that helps prospective angels, venture capital firms, banks, the Small Business Administration and other funding organizations see it like you see it is essential.

The Power to Build Positive, Lasting Change

Your business or organization could have the power to change your community, change the country or change the world.  Imagine back when MicroSoft was a start-up in the garage of the Gates home with Bill, the college drop-out, working hard. Or, when Debbie Fields, a mom of four, took freshly-baked warm cookies to one bank after the other to obtain a business loan. The bankers gobbled up the cookies and turned her down again and again.  After pleading her case to 43 banks Mrs. Field’s Cookies got it’s first round of funding to get off the ground.

Many didn’t invest right away because the players seemed unlikely.  Some are probably still kicking themselves today.  Getting the funding you need is never a piece of cake.  But without the right business plan it’s almost impossible. Sure, there is business plan software out there.  However, it won’t help you write the emotionally compelling story you need so angels and investors will confidently say, “Heck, yes!”

Your plan is where all the pieces must come together.  It must create excitement and enthusiasm.  It must also convey a sense of quiet trustworthiness so investors feel they are doing the right thing by writing you a check to take you through the next round of growth, expansion, etc.

Make  People  Want  to  Happily  say  “Yes”

If you’re not familiar with the best ways to evoke these thoughts, feelings and ideas in writing – believe me – it’s a skill I’ve learned over the last three decades of business and business writing experience.

My forte is helping the small, start up business or organization write an effective plan or proposal to meet your needs.

That means getting to know your business.  Understand your vision.  Then I translate that vision into positive benefits and “Gotta get in on this one!” enthusiasm.  Don’t trust the future of your goals and dreams to amateurs or pre-fab business plan mills that don’t care about your results.

Why Choose Me?

I’m a business writer who knows and understands the ups and downs of business ownership. Two quick highlights:  I bought my first business from a family member back in 1983.  It was in business for ten years when I acquired it. I was 24.  In one year I increased revenue by 40 percent and lowered operating costs by 10 percent. In 2005, I came out with a book on marketing for women business owners.  In three months it became a business bestseller and went on to sell successfully in 15 countries.

My life and my work has always been about supporting people to go for their dream and make it their reality.  I have degrees in Business-Marketing and Journalism-Advertising and have helped many businesses and organizations ascend to the next level. My services are not cheap. However, you will know that I care – and I’m as serious about your success as you are.

Take the Next Step

Since every plan or proposal I write is unique it makes sense for us to talk either on the phone, in person if you’re in Las Vegas, or, on Skype.  I will ask questions, gather information and if you decide to move to the next level I’ll determine a price for writing your plan based on your needs.

All the best,

Denise Michaels
