FUSION AnswerPlans™ - a Dial-Up Consulting Alternative

Suppose you could engage a consulting resource who'd be there not just for the occasional "bet the business" project, but for your everyday needs for information and decision support. What's more, suppose tapping into this ongoing support was as quick and easy as dialing a phone or sending e-mail -- and that you didn't have to spend a king's ransom to retain it.

That's the rationale behind our FUSION AnswerPlan subscription services -- a new way of providing ongoing consulting support that takes advantage of the speed, immediacy and cost effectiveness of today's voice and data communications technologies.

AnswerPlans are ideal for smaller companies that can't afford project-level consulting help. And for larger companies that want ongoing help with the perplexing questions and decisions that occur every day in running an education and training business.

Two levels of service are currently available and are described below. Contact us for full particulars and to discuss whether one plan or another is suitable for you.

(Details on plan components follow exhibit.)

Training Business E-Visory

Monthly e-mail advice for training company executives seeking to dramatically increase revenue, profit and market share. Addresses how to identify breakthrough new products, penetrate lucrative new markets, build brand identity, and organize selling efforts for maximum productivity and yield. Also, how to avoid "bet-the-business" mistakes.

Dial-Up Answer Support

Now there’s a Help Desk for education and training company executives. Any time you have a perplexing question or need advice concerning a critical decision, simply contact FUSION via e-mail or telephone. Answers and recommendations are provided by FUSION principal Ed Shineman with the assistance of the FUSION Alliance Network (FAN). Where possible, answers will be provided immediately -- 80% of all questions will be addressed within two working days.

Regularly Scheduled Phone Briefings

Our opportunity to update you on breaking news and trends in the industry pertaining to your business interests. And your opportunity to update us on your priorities and plans -- and raise any questions that haven’t come up during the normal course of business.

Fax-Back Plan and Promotion Review

Product plans, business plans, marketing plans – they’re a chore to write. But critical if you need buy off from your board of directors or your banker. Fax or FedEx a draft of your plan to FUSION for an expert assessment based upon our 25 years of training industry experience. We’ll return it to you promptly together with our comments and suggestions. Send FUSION your proposed advertising and promotion campaigns, as well. Even the most brilliantly inspired work usually benefits from an independent perspective.

Downloadable Diagnostic and Planning Tools

Every job is easier when you have the proper tools. And the education and training business is no different. So FUSION has come up with tools and templates to help you benchmark your training organization against your competition, assess how many salespeople you need, architect master order agreements and volume purchase plans, model the impact of catalog frequency and circulation, structure operating and strategic plans, and much more. All templates are available via download to AnswerPlan™ subscribers.

On-Site Project Support

There’s no getting around it -- some needs require an on-site consulting presence. So, while each FUSION Dial-Up AnswerPlan is organized around the cost-saving convenience of the Net and telephone, we’ve also provided a money-saving link to our more traditional consulting services. Consider taking advantage of it if you’re up against a strategic priority that requires an extended, highly collaborative effort.

Other ways you may want to engage our on-site services are as a workshop leader for your next management meeting, to mentor a new high-potential employee, to audit your marketing or product planning process, to backfill for a key executive while you are seeking a replacement.
