2. Southern California Regional 10,000 Small Businesses – Client Outreach & Recruitment Status Update – 2015
Strategic Plan - 9/29/2015
I. Executive Summary
This report provides a status update for the Southern California Regional 10,000 Small Businesses Outreach and Recruitment
efforts. Following the executive summary, the first component of the report delineates a status update for the week of 9/22/2015
through 9/29/2015, and includes updated statistics on current applications, lead data, and a discussion of recent events in which
10KSB participated, with a special write-up regarding the National League of Cities event. The next section provides a
presentation of the strategic planning initiative for outreach and recruitment that has taken place over the last three months. This
section focuses primarily on the analysis of relevant local data, (such as partner and alumni referral data), and how that data has
informed new strategies for outreach that integrate all available ICIC and GS tools. A review of the specific tools that have been
implemented are presented, along with an explanation, review of recent outcomes, and observations about challenges or further
opportunities for development. Some general trends and observations that emerge from the review of the data and analysis are
included in this report, specifically around partner and alumni referrals, the challenges and opportunities of targeting key
demographics, geographic areas, and new partners, as well as a summary of how the strategic recruitment plan for 2016 will be
refined through further tracking and reporting on outcomes from newly tested strategies. The final section of the report outlines
action items for outreach and recruitment. In order to support the analysis and data presented throughout this report, an appendix
is included for reference.

Weekly Event Highlight: Big Ideas for Small Business Summit
September 22nd
& 23rd
, 2015, Bradley Tower, City Hall, Los Angeles, CA
Every year the National League of Cities, a DC-based non-profit focused on building peer-based networks for improving equitable city
development, hosts the Big Ideas for Small Business Summit. Co-hosted with the City of Los Angeles for 2015, the event draws participants from
across the local region and the country, with the goal of accelerating efforts to support small business development, enhance civic engagement, and
encourage entrepreneurship. As a partner of the City of Los Angeles, 10KSB participated in the series of panel sessions, breakout discussions, and
keynote presentations that took place over a day and a half.
Key takeaways from the panel sessions, which were hosted by participants on a selection of topics, include: observations around the value-add
business owners feel when they have increased site visits and relationship-driven support from small business resource providers, including local
government (i.e., how real-time responsiveness and nimble, creative assistance can temper challenges such as construction-related street closures);
the importance of approaching entrepreneurship from a perspective of inclusivity; the need to re-think how resources are presented to entrepreneurs
through education and policy revision; and the on-going challenge for small business owners to advocate for local policy changes to officials in DC.
This last observation was most clearly articulated during the keynote address, where groups of small business owners asked for advice on this issue
from the keynote speaker, Michael Hendrix, Director of Emerging Issues and Research, US Chamber of Commerce Foundation.
During the one-on-one breakout sessions, where organizations were paired for discussion, 10KSB was involved in discussions with the keynote
speaker, Michael Hendrix, the City of Philadelphia Economic and Workforce Development team, and the representative for Code for America. The
interactions focused largely on best-practices sharing, and how organizations that offer resources to small business can maximize their impact in the
context of a shifting economy that continues to see the small business community stifled by overregulation. The one-on-one session with Code for
America was notably collaborative, as 10KSB was able to provide insights regarding the needs and challenges entrepreneurs face, and how the
software interface being developed by Long Beach’s i-Team might tackle these issues in meaningful and relevant ways.

Draft Applicants
- Table 1 features an overview of draft
applications from early April 2015 through
September 2015*
- Observations: As draft applicants have
clearly expressed interest through
registering an account in the online portal,
there is a missed opportunity due to the fact that contact information is not required, and thus not provided to the local
site by the vendor. Based on ICIC’s current protocol, driven by potential privacy concerns, a site does not have the
ability to follow up with all draft applicants to determine their qualifications.
*As the online application only stores data for 180 days, April 2015 marks the earliest available data. Source: 10KSB Portal.

III. New Developments in Outreach & Recruitment
Review & Analysis: Relevant Referral Data*
Alumni
- As visible in Tables 3 and 4, alumni referrals tend to
have high-yield for Part II conversion, notably LBCC
alumni referrals, and should continue to be leveraged in
new ways as a referring base for applicants. Specific
strategies are outlined in the next section for how the
SoCal team is pursuing this objective. Table 6, which
appears in the final sections, illustrates that while LBCC
has better alumni referral conversion rates, LACC’s
partner base has higher conversion rates.
Partners
- The most successful referring partner organizations may
be tapped out on their base for qualified applicants, so a
multitude of resources have been allocated toward new
partner development, notably in areas such as supplier
diversity, financial institutions, and private
corporations/professional service providers. In the
following sections, specific strategies are outlined for
how the SoCal team is pursuing this objective. Table 5
provides YTD data for the paid partner program.
* See document Attachment for detailed partner and alumni referral data.
Strategic Planning for Outreach & Recruitment in 2016
Summary: ICIC has provided sites with a national template for strategic outreach and recruitment planning. This tool is called
the ORAS Plan. This document, which is featured in the Appendix, assists sites with understanding the resources available to
them through ICIC and the Goldman Sachs 10KSB toolkit, in addition to local adaptations and innovations. It also allows sites
to strategically plan for application numbers through results estimations, and then allows for best practice identification through
outcomes analysis. Since the development of this document in May of 2015, the SoCal team has worked closely with ICIC to
leverage data and strategies to create a comprehensive outreach plan that targets key demographics, including women,
disadvantaged businesses, and key geographic areas in and around the Los Angeles basin. This section presents an overview of
data that has informed these strategies, a tabulation of those strategies that have been implemented, and some notable
observations and recent outcomes regarding those strategies.

7. Southern California Regional 10,000 Small Businesses – Client Outreach & Recruitment Status Update – 2015
Strategic Plan - 9/29/2015
Recent Challenges
- Challenge of transitioning to a digital system
o Greater need to plan human engagement with digital engagement
o Leads can easily submit an application without ever meeting a program representative, making it difficult to
establish level of interest and commitment
- Backlog of draft applicants with no contact information
o Warmest leads that cannot be capitalized upon
- Targeting women-owned businesses that are larger and have higher employee count
Observations
- Consistency in relationship manager is
critical for the conversion of a Part I
applicant to a completed Part II
- Content-driven email campaigns are
more effective in eliciting an activated
response from qualified leads
- Qualified applicants’ top reasons for
approaching the program:
o Industry expert with no
business education
o Isolation as a small business
owner and desire for peer-based
learning with like-minded
individuals
o Benefit of creating a growth
plan to help them map their growth strategy and an implementation plan for meeting targets
o Desire and position to seek capital, but need mentorship in pitching, lending, and the opportunity to develop a
comprehensive growth plan with financial projections
o Need motivation and a space to focus on their business and create opportunities, outside of their business
o Stagnant growth, and they need a growth-focused source of mentorship, education and peer-learning
Action Items
- Further develop the relationship between Alumni Services and Outreach and Recruitment
o Development of targeted alumni testimonials
o Contextualize and position all alumni events as key recruitment events – this is critical and has been widely
successful at other sites (ex: referral competitions, event participation contingent on a referral/bring-a-buddy)
o Alumni ambassadors to do more heavy lifting in supporting the SoCal team in these efforts
- Draft applicant activation campaign
o Targeted draft applicant follow-up campaign through alumni testimonials and in-person contact
Targeting Marketing Materials through the MEDA*
(Motivation, Education, Dedication, Activation)
Motivation – Drive awareness of and interest in the program
Ex: outreach emails
Education – Help potential applicants understand what the curriculum offers
Ex: informational webinar
Dedication – Explain the commitment needed and the success of alumni
Ex: alumni testimonial emails
Activation – Validate applicants’ decisions and help them apply to the program
Ex: interview addendum webinar
*Source: GS 10KSB Toolkit
8. Southern California Regional 10,000 Small Businesses – Client Outreach & Recruitment Status Update – 2015
Strategic Plan - 9/29/2015
- Tracking and reporting to enhance strategic planning efforts
o Tracking and reporting on outcomes from ORAS plan in order to identify practices that work, eliminate
strategies that fail, and to refine the 2016 O&R Strategic Plan
o Leverage data on referrals to focus on relationships that result in qualified and engaged applicants
- On-going partner development
o Identify new ways that 10KSB can act as
an additional resource to partners in order
to incentivize higher referral rates. Table 6
provides context for which region has
partners that tend to have higher
conversion rates to accepted scholars.
o Brainstorm on strategies for creative
partner identification
o Continue to develop local connections
through ICIC national partner relationships
