One of our favorite companies, Apple, showcased the newest version of Mac OS yesterday at their Worldwide Developer Conference – and they’ve added some new features we love.
The new version of OS X is Lion – and it comes with a lot of new features and improvements. Our favorites are Auto Save and Versions. Why?? Because we already support both!
We’re excited to announce a new plan, specially built for Teams! Aptly called the “Team Plan,” this new option is available on a month-to-month recurring basis or annually:
When you’re trying to sell an idea to a potential investor, you’ll need to craft the pitch-perfect executive summary. Here’s how to write a summary that will get your business plan read, and your foot in the door. Check it out!
Version 2.0 is here – and we couldn’t be more excited to share it with you! Thanks to feedback from customers over the past year, we’ve made improvements to our business planning and financial modelling tools that we know you’re going to love.
In addition to improving our core business planning tools we’ve added a new team signup option and private/branded networks.
Developing solid financial projections is not an easy task for an entrepreneur. Doing so requires us to think really thoroughly about our business. We have to think about who our customers are, how we’re going to reach them, how many and which flavor products we can sell to them, how much advertising spend we need, how many sales and marketing resources will we bring aboard, etc. This is hardly the entire list, which can be overwhelming!
But that’s not all. It’s not as simple as running through a list of questions and providing answers. All your “answers” have to link together. For example, a huge sales team can be constrained by tiny advertising budgets that don’t generate enough leads. Conversely, a tiny sales team could be overwhelmed by response to advertising.
