Simple, Speedy, Business and Market Planning
Most textbook business and marketing planning is unsuited to the realities of small business.
Expecting detailed financial projections in 3 to 5 years’ time is totally unrealistic when a small business can barely see 6 months ahead.
Instead of planning methods developed for large and fairly stable big businesses, we have developed a flexible, low workload, business planning system for small business.
It comes with several ‘getting started’ plans for when you first use Mission Control to make the planning setup even faster.
Website Management
You can integrate your existing or new website into Mission Control to make it more accessible and convenient including;
- Hosting WordPress: the majority of websites are in WordPress. You can access yours from Mission Control to DIY your own search engine tweaks
- Build new website: DIY yourself with drag and drop tools or add on more to an existing website simple. Includes forms, surveys, chat and sales funnel pages
- Add blog pages: convenient ability to add blog pages to improve your SEO and digital marketing
- Web chat: tool
- Online billing: if required
- Email hosting: if required
DIY or Outsource
Depending on your skills and available time, you can learn how to set up these tools and do it yourself.
Or you can have our team manage whatever tasks you want to outsource to us leaving you to work more actively in your business.
Separate logins available so you can control who sees what in your Mission Control
