A. Communication Strategy
Develop a communication strategy to ensure that all relevant parties are effectively
informed of the implementation of the business plan:
• Plan for six stakeholder groups and/or individuals
• Identify the preferred communication strategy for each stakeholder to include
communication needs (for example, a financial institution, providing you with financial
resources, would be interested in detailed financial data rather than just a summary)
• In your strategy, specify the preferred communication tool (example: emails, face to
face presentation, newsletter etc.)
Document the strategy in the table below.

C. Monitoring strategy
Develop a monitoring and control strategy to support the implementation of the business
plan. The strategy must include:
• Process/es to test the performance measures (3-4/KPI) that you have identified to
review the progress towards achieving your strategic objectives. Example: checklist,
observation, user testing.
• A reporting system to ensure that reports on critical aspects of the business (such as
finance, marketing, customer service, logistics and so forth, issues and progress
towards achievement of set goals are timely available to relevant stakeholders, and
they are user-friendly, up-to-date, and respect data integrity. Example: use of a
project management software, shared drives, shared calendars, email protocols,
version control.
• Timelines for reporting and key monitoring activities by business area as part of a
continuous improvement strategy
Document the strategy in the table below.

D. Training strategy
Develop a training strategy to address underperformance and skills gaps in groups and
individuals. The strategy will ensure skilled labour is available to implement the business
plan.
This can include formal and informal training.
(50-100 words)
Mentoring and coaching can be applied to increase productivity and efficacy. Efective
coaching revolves around inspiring someone to solve their own problems. Mentoring is
often about communicating mentor own experiences. Mentors use personal context to
help mentees learn what to do — how to solve a problem, how to change their habits,
etc. So, mentoring can translate to showing someone what to do and how to do it.
Conversely, coaching emphasizes showing someone why they should do something.
E. Skilled labour
Write an email (Template 1) to the CEO to confirm that skilled labour will be available to
implement the business plan based on your skilled labour and training strategy.

Dear CEO,
I would like to confirm through this email the availability regarding the skilled labour
once they are necessary to start our business plan implementation. Therefore, it is
crucial to have a starting date for this qualified staff team in time.

3. Determine the changes/refinements that will be made to the business plan and
the monitoring strategy and systems based on the scenarios.
4. Based on the scenario's impact on the business plan, evaluate the achievements of
the business plan at the end of implementation (target Vs actual).
Document your work in the table below.
5. You have identified that one of the issues with the drop in sales (Scenario D) is that
the sales group needs training in innovative sales practices.
i. Develop a training program (Template 2) to upskill the sales group. The training
program must include three (3) different training opportunities (options).
With this email, I would like to give you techniques for sales. There are three key techniques for
sales;
Storytelling and sales
Incorporating storytelling into sales presentations can make them far more engaging and en-
tertaining for prospects. Telling a story also gives you the opportunity to provide context to the
statistics and facts that you use to convince a prospect to make a purchase.
5 Tips for putting storytelling punch into your sales strategy
1. Get Your Storytelling Basics Down
2. Determine the Takeaway
3. Get Your Prospect’s Attention (and Hold It)
4. Personalize your sales story
5. Practice your story out loud
Active listening
Active Listening Helps Drive Sales. Rather than passively listening to the person talking (or
not listening at all), the active listener pays close attention to the other person's choice of
words, their tone of voice and their body language—which accounts for at least 80% of
commu- nication. Features of Active Listening
I hope this information may be useful for increasing your sales techniques, any questions are al-
ways welcome.
Thank you!
Best regards, John Thompson Operational manager

Dear sir,
I would like to inform you the issues experienced at 50% timeline. We face the two big
problems that impact to the meeting achievement of the strategic goals.
□ A new direct competitor is running a very successful marketing campaign
and charging 10% less than your current prices. This could erode your
mar- ket share
by 5% in the next 12 months.
□ Covid 19 happens.
Those two problems cause the behind strategic goals to increase market share and
become the leader of call centre business. However, the mitigation for those two prob-
lems are provided to find out the way to get back on track of achievement. The team
will always monitor our competitors including update information from the govern-
ment about Covid 19 situation and rules which impact to the business operation.
7. Develop a Meeting Agenda (Template 3) to inform the Board of Directors about the
issues experienced at 75% timeline.
