Re: Appreciation
Thank you Palo Alto Software for all the un-wavering and generous support you have given the Clackamas College Small Business Development Center, and to the Oregon SBDC Network in general.
Over the past 10 years I have been able to use Business Plan Pro to effectively train both new and seasoned business owners in developing plans for a variety of uses including financing proposals, marketing plans, strategic planning and even making the decision to not go into business.
As a presenter and exhibitor Palo Alto has been a great resource for the annual Portland Small Business Fair which is now in its 15th year. Further, I am always impressed with the forward thinking the company, and Tim Berry, do around the concept of business planning…the new “plan as you go” strategy is brilliant!
I should also add that when clients come in with plans created with Business Plan Pro these plans are always ahead of the pack in quality, thoughtfulness and thoroughness….it makes it much easier to help them implement and achieve their goals.

“I have purchased marketing pro software. It is truly great and my boss says it’s the best plan he has ever seen. Thanks One suggestion… could you put into the plan historical pie charts and bar charts. I run a $500 million sales division and I need to show past performance.”

I received the Marketing Plan Pro. Thank you very much.
I don’t know if you have to deal much with hardware or especially software vendors but if you do you know it can be a royal pain in the backside. Being able to call your support staff and getting a live body, English speaking, from the U.S., or to email you and have you respond so quickly both to the email and the request is like water to a man dying of thirst.
You people are doing a great job with a great product, that gets better with each version, and I just wanted to say THANKS!

“I’m very impressed by the new version of Marketing Plan Pro. It’s truly professional marketing planning software-users can not only detail the strategy, timing and cost of marketing activities but also assess their financial value through ROI and customer lifetime value calculations.”
