Agricultural Consultants Business Plan


Agricultural Consultants Business Plan


O&#8217, Connor & Partners LLC offers consulting to companies who want to produce chemicals or energy from annually renewable feedstocks. We will assist our clients in achieving economic utilization of major biomass components as well as minor parts that can be used to create high-value special products. The main components of all forms biomass are cellulose (which is a long chain of simple sugars) and hemicellulose (which are the long chains of simple sugars).

Many chemicals we now make from petroleum were made once from sugar. Several of these are niche chemicals with small markets and high barriers to entry. Other commodities include commodities whose manufacturing is optimized by economies of scale at the traditional world refineries. It is important to start with lower feedstock costs in order to be competitive in today’s market with petroleum-derived commodity chemicals. The potential for lignocellulosic biomass to be less expensive than petroleum on a carbon basis is high. Biomass can contain the same sugars that have been proven effective.

There are many products that can only be effectively made from biomass sugars. Industrial biotechnology developed fermentation organisms that are highly selective to produce certain products. To mimic these feats of biochemistry, traditional feedstocks and processes would be much more expensive, if they were even possible at all. Cargill Dow LLC’s polylactide-polymers are an example of industrial biology. They are made from fermenting sugars. Industrial biotech has been coined by industry observers as the “third wave of biotechnology.”

O&#8217 Connor & Partners LLC recognizes the need for technical excellence that is grounded in economic reality in new ventures within bio-refining. We aim to provide management consulting services to individuals and companies who are aiming to become leaders in the bioindustrial revolution. The expected customer base includes emerging industrial-biotechnology firms, large existing chemical companies and utilities, and agricultural operations. We will help our clients realize industrial at less cost and/or in less time than they could do alone – with a guarantee of top-quality, professional service. Our assistance will help clients achieve sustainability in all areas of their business.

There are huge potential markets. Experts predict that bio-refining can grow from $280 billion per annum to $500 billion by 2013.

    Telemarketing Consultants Business Plan


    Telemarketing Consultants Business Plan


    Introduction

    It is the mission of Roth & Calder Telemarketing Professionals, Inc. (R&C) to provide comprehensive telemarketing consultation and creation of telemarketing advertising campaigns for our clients in the Cawleweton region. It is our long-term goal to become THE preferred business-to-business telemarketing agency for the East Coast area. Our firm does more than just provide a service to our clients. We are committed to building long-lasting relationships with them in order for their messages to reach the right people at just the right time. This will ensure that they communicate effectively with their customers.

    The Company

    Roth & Calder LLC will be a limited partnership with limited liability that is registered in Delaware for tax purposes. The founder of the partnership is Thomas Roth, who was a former marketing executive at General Foods. He has assembled a group of highly-respected marketing, development and telemarketing experts who have combined 25 years of industry experience.

    The company has a limited number of private investors and does not plan to go public. Cawleweton is the main office. These offices include conference rooms as well as office space. The company plans to start offering its services in January 1.

    In the beginning, the potential clients for the company are all of the Cawleweton companies. We are able to service small and large businesses and offer virtually all consultation services via telephone communication with clients.

    The Services

    To ensure maximum results for our clients, we offer a comprehensive program that may include the following services.

    • Identification of Program Objectives & Expectations
    • Creation of customized lists of leads
    • Market research
    • Telemarketing personnel training and consulting
    • Programming script writing
    • Creation of follow-up programs for successful calls.

    This is only a partial list of our services as each project is customized to our client and its scope, length, depth, reach, and cost are unique.

    The Market

    The telemarketing sector is growing at the moment with companies experiencing an average annual growth of 6.5% to 8.8%. This is due to businesses that are becoming increasingly aware of the need for market information and the desire to reduce customer turnover rates in a hard hit economy. R&C sees a cyclical pattern in the industry’s long-term growth rates. They don’t anticipate this high rate of growth to continue.

    Telemarketing has a large number of companies. These companies vary in their size, market share, and scope. A lot of companies are general advertising agencies offering telemarketing services, as well as a wide variety of other consulting services. Many companies don’t realize the potential benefits that outsourcing can bring and instead choose to build their own telemarketing service.

    R&C believes that new entrants to market are the greatest threat right now. They see an opportunity in a high growth industry. Existing agencies looking to expand their reach and integrate horizontally into new markets are the most likely candidates. New entrants face the disadvantage of having to switch partners when contracting with telemarketing agencies. R&C is aware that this industry has a steep learning curve. As a result, a firm’s cumulative experience with the field and long-term clients will lead to declining &#8220/unit costs.

    The rivalry among different telemarketing companies is intense, as we have already stated. Telemarketing as a whole has experienced long-term moderate growth. Many of the largest agencies are dependent on each other when it comes jockeying to position and market share. This industry is competitive because of the many telemarketing agencies that are not necessarily ‘general’ or generic.

    Indirect price control in this industry is facilitated by buyers using the threat of clients merging to get all their advertising done in house. This increases competition among firms. This must always be foremost in the minds of R&C’s management when offering services and setting prices.

    Financial ConsiderationsStart-up assets required include expenses and cash needed to support operations until revenues reach an acceptable level. Although most of the company’s liabilities will come from outside private investors or management investment, we have secured current borrowing from Bank of America Commercial Investments. We expect to repay the principal in three years. A long-term loan through VieilArgent Bank of Richburb will be paid off in ten years.

    1.1 Objectives

    These are the three-year goals of Roth & Calder Telemarketing Professionals, Inc.

    • By year two, break-even is achieved.
    • Establish a regional East Coast presence for operations within five year and a national one within ten.
    • To build long-term relationships, trust and credibility with our clients, you must ensure minimum 95% customer satisfaction.

    1.2 Mission

Long-term goals include becoming THE preferred East Coast business-to-business agency for telemarketing. Our firm does not just produce a service for clients.
