C Italian website DFirst office location EOffice furnitures FLocation contract GSearch of personnel HChoice of Advt Media ISelection of personnel JPersonnel hiring KStart of Advertising LPersonnel availability M.Operation start M. Maragliano for SHORT GANTT Remark: before start Gantt operations, a training of the Manager is necessary.

36. AThe quickest and safe way is to select a consultant company linked with Automarketing (Bayer & Bayer?) B Ownership must be of AUTOMARKETING Gmbh or AUTOMARKETING S.L. Develops. Notary act in Italy is necessary, as a cash deposit of minimum 10.000€. There is also a temporary option: to set up a Liaison Office. In this case Italian initial staff will act as liaison to AUTOMARKETING Fr. but it will be necessary to review almost entire Business Plan. C It must be done in strict cooperation with AUTOMARKETING webmaster. Task of the Manager. D The choice of the location will have a remarkable impact on office operational expenses, therefore affecting the economical section of the Business Plan. Joint decision of GM and Italian Manager ETime include selection of furnitures, purchase, delivery. Task of the Manager. F For location contract it will be necessary the presence of AUTOMARKETING General Manager or a proxi to Italian Manager. GAdvertising on newspaper necessary. PR activity preparation. HAnalysis of various media, internet indexing, final Advertising campaign plan. Task of the Manager. IConsidering 6 interviews a day, minimum one week for selection is necessary. Task of the Manager. JTime necessary for legal practices. Task of Consultant Company. K Advertising will start same time of the personnel hiring in order to get as soon as possible potential customers. Enquiries will be handled temporarily by the Manager. Start of PR activity. LTime of physical availability of personnel MAs soon as personnel will be available telemarketing can start focused on target categories. M. Maragliano for

37. SHORT BUSINESS PLAN M. Maragliano for

38. The structure 1 manager 3 salesmen (1 senior and 2 juniors) 1 administrative 1 secretary Salaries has been roughly calculated (to be reviewed by the Consultant) and kept at low level initially, to have the possibility of revision in case of good performances of the employees. Salesmen salary should include a small commission. The hypothesis is to hire as priority one skilled salesman able to train the other two (younger). As already advanced in Gantt, cost of office may vary substantially in relation to the location. The Revenues are based on a 10% commission on car sales. M. Maragliano for

39. ADVERTISING Four daily newspapers has been considered as one way of advertising: one issue by week for each of them – in the selected day of largest circulation – should make at medium term a solid ground. To build up the awareness of AUTOMARKETING it could be necessary for one year an advertisement on the one of the largest automotive monthly magazine like “Quattroruote ” M. Maragliano for

40. Redemption Has been calculated on the total of readers and has been considered around 1%. We assume that this 1% may represent the total of the potential customers. Essential for a good redemption is the message we will transfer to the readers: our project is innovative for the Italian market and therefore layout and bodycopy must draw reader’s attention to induce them to make a phone call or send an e-mail. M. Maragliano for

41. Catches It’s the percentage ( 15%) of redemption, means the real prospective customers that show some interest and that may sign the preliminary contract. M. Maragliano for

42. Risk Margin (1/5) To be on the safe side, we used the highest possible: it means that Revenues (total people really interested on purchasing the car) has been divided by 5. M. Maragliano for

43. Considerations on Business Plan This Business Plan doesn’t consider positive factors like: Multiple readings for newspapers and magazine Mouth to mouth communication Awareness increase – PR results Sales push strategy like telemarketing and use of some databases – financial promoters, lawyers, private enterpreneurs - already in my hands.
