PURPOSE
An editable planning worksheet, not a client case study, proposal or performance forecast.

MARKET CONTEXT
Ann Arbor is recorded in Washtenaw, Michigan, United States. This place reference identifies the location; it does not define a business’s service area.
Define Ann Arbor coverage separately from the wider Washtenaw area. A place record is a reference point, not an advertising radius or a promise of service.

Local scheduling reference: America/Detroit. Confirm dates and working availability.

BUSINESS DECISIONS TO COMPLETE
Business and offer: ____________________
Supported locations within Ann Arbor: ____________________
Excluded locations and services: ____________________
Remote / on-site / customer visits: ____________________
Qualified customer action: ____________________
Approver, delivery owner and review date: ____________________

SERVICE SCOPE REVIEW
A brand project, CRM improvement and paid campaign solve different problems. Identify where customers lose clarity or where inquiries stop progressing, then compare the work needed at that stage. A proposal should explain the expected deliverables and what the business must supply.
If the organisation already uses a customer platform, review its forms, records and handoffs before introducing new software. Name the person who can approve changes and confirm how campaign inquiries will be qualified. Local and wider-market offers should reflect actual delivery capacity.

Diagnose the missing step
Trace a customer from the first message to the sales response. Identify the information or process that needs correction.

Scope existing-system changes
List required access, integrations and internal approvals. Separate configuration work from recurring campaign management.

Assign a business owner
Choose who approves messaging and who reviews inquiry quality. Give each deliverable a completion check.

BUYER QUESTIONS
Do I need a new CRM before starting marketing?
Only if a documented requirement cannot be met reliably with the current process. Review access, data quality, handoffs and staff capacity first. A migration should have its own scope and transition plan.

Can branding and acquisition be handled in phases?
Yes. Agree the minimum approved offer and assets needed for the first campaign, then plan additional brand or website work around those dependencies.

FIRST DECISION
Identify whether discovery, offer clarity or enquiry handling is the first constraint before commissioning multiple channels.

INPUTS
[ ] Priority offers, customer fit and service boundaries
[ ] Existing website, campaigns and approved business information
[ ] Commercial constraints and ownership of sales follow-up

DELIVERABLES AND ACCEPTANCE
1. Diagnose one journey
Trace a customer from discovery to the offer and the business's response. Record observed friction and missing evidence.
Acceptance: The proposed first change addresses an observed problem and names the responsible owner.
Owner / evidence / status: ____________________

2. Sequence the work
Give search, advertising, content and website work distinct roles. Identify dependencies such as a usable landing page or reliable enquiry handling.
Acceptance: The roadmap explains what starts first, what depends on it and what is outside the initial scope.
Owner / evidence / status: ____________________

3. Set the review rules
Define a qualified action, the source system and how the team will decide to continue, change or stop an activity.
Acceptance: Reports distinguish delivered work, diagnostic activity and real business outcomes.
Owner / evidence / status: ____________________

PLANNING EXERCISE
A hypothetical business gets relevant visits but unclear enquiries. Improve the offer and qualification path first, then consider wider acquisition after the team can distinguish suitable requests.
Test one supported request from Ann Arbor and one excluded-area request. Record expected and observed responses.
This exercise is hypothetical; it is not evidence of local client work.

MEASUREMENT
Use a shared definition of qualified enquiries or purchases across channels. Record sales lag and prevent the same customer being counted repeatedly.
Baseline window and source system: ____________________
Review window and material changes: ____________________

SCOPE LIMITS
Channel allocation and growth forecasts require commercial and customer evidence; no predetermined result is implied.
