Live business case study 2007-2008 Synopsis June 2007 I was approached by two British business associates. They had a conceptual idea for a secondary income generation stream from their businesses. They had no idea how to develop the concept which was to create an e-commerce web site selling products nationally via the internet. This was embryonic & not even a well thought out idea.

Synopsis

June 2007 I was approached by two British business associates. They had a conceptual idea for a secondary income generation stream from their businesses.

They had no idea how to develop the concept which was to create an e-commerce web site selling products nationally via the internet.

This was embryonic & not even a well thought out idea. Other than typing & sending e-mails, neither of these two gentlemen were skilled in any IT or internet sales.

I was tasked with the following: Conducting a feasibility study. Providing the project management skills. Organising due diligence. Attending IT & E-commerce training seminars. Researching & identifying suitable expert partners who could provide the technical expertise. Providing proof of concept. Identifying financial grant aid to kick start the new business.

Conducting a feasibility study.

Providing the project management skills.

Organising due diligence.

Attending IT & E-commerce training seminars.

Researching & identifying suitable expert partners who could provide the technical expertise.

Providing proof of concept.

Identifying financial grant aid to kick start the new business.

Fail to plan – Plan to fail As the idea was conceptual, and neither of the two business partners had any academic business skills; there was, and still is, no formal business plan in place. I did however design a project management and business action plan for them. Initial research produced business intelligence from two competitors which identified the concept had scope if produced and managed professionally. The partners’ wildest dream was that the E-commerce site would eventually generate a £1M annual turnover. Copyright 2008. Dr. Mark D. Yates

The partners’ wildest dream was that the E-commerce site would eventually generate a £1M annual turnover.

My Due Diligence Included 4 months of in-depth research, training & due diligence. I interviewed 12 UK web design companies. I interviewed several SEO experts inc’ Latitude, the largest search engine optimisation company in the country. I identified that 99% of web design companies who say they provide E-commerce web sites ,are not skilled enough to create web sites specifically designed to generate exponential financial growth within a short period of time. I recognised most of the web companies I interviewed would seriously struggle to service high income generation e-commerce sites once they were up and running. Copyright 2008. Dr. Mark D. Yates

Summary of Events Part 1: I was first presented with ‘The Idea’ in June 2007. I identified the project would cost approx’ £65k to 70k to take it up to pre-launch status. This included salaries & expenses for two full time staff and one to two data input clerks & for furnishing a three person office. This was structured along a stage payment system. The SEO Company provided me with statistical cash generation forecasts for different levels of monthly spend. Partners invested £35k each, i.e. £70k to take it up to pre-launch status. I organised a business grant for 40% of the initial start up costs. The actual initial partner’s cost to pre-launch was £48.000. A further monthly management consultation fee & Search Engine Optimisation fee of between £2.500 to £10.000 was identified to generate exponential sales. Copyright 2008. Dr. Mark D. Yates

Summary of Events Part 2: Although the web site was incomplete, it was given a green light to start revenue generation in late September - October 2007. We commenced with a monthly Pay per click spend of £2.500. This was quickly ramped up to £10.000 per month. Sales targets have been smashed every month to date. Sept – October 2007 - £141.500 sales. November 2007 - £185.300 sales. December 2007 -£99.300 sales. January 2008 - £215.800 sales. This is a monthly average of £183.400 in sales from a standing start. Sales will increase as the company experiences natural organic growth through Google search engine placement and as the site is completed. Copyright 2008. Dr. Mark D. Yates

Most Valuable Lesson Learned: Despite the core business being established for 14 years this new E-commerce sales site quickly overtook the monthly turnover in just four months of trading. If you are looking for EXPONENTIAL SALES GROWTH in a short to medium time frame, then don’t procrastinate, and don’t hesitate because you have limited computer and/or e-commerce skills. Once the professional team is in situ, everything else runs like a conventional business. This is a proven concept for generating extremely high revenue streams from the Internet. Copyright 2008.
