Fine del progetto
Help the nonprofit Bpeace support a minority small business owner in the Southeast U.S. by developing a Growth-File (G-File) for their business. Bpeace will provide an interview guide so you can interview the small business owner over Zoom.
You will fill out the G-file -- a PowerPoint template provided by Bpeace -- that will help you capture their business history, value proposition, financial overview, client and customer makeup, product/service lineup, and geographic coverage.
The G-file gives the owner a bird's eye view of their business and helps them identify a Growth Project they will carry out with support from Bpeace so they can increase their revenues and create jobs.
The primary deliverable is a complete G-File template -- approximately 10 page PowerPoint deck.
The G-File will be used by the small business owner and Bpeace staff and volunteers in order to target workshops, coaching and consulting in a way that can have the strongest impact in creating more jobs and revenue.
We have a plethora of resources to help you succeed.
1. Review www.bpeace.org to learn more about our mission and work.
2. G-File volunteer orientation--in the form of a video recording and pdf deck
3. Background information on the small business.
4. G-File template with sample probing questions.
5. Example of completed G-File.
6. Sample E-mail to use to introduce yourself to the business owner to whom we match you.
7. Bpeace staff to answer your questions and support you through the process.
8. Access to Bpeace Zoom link for your calls.
Pietre miliari
1. Scopri (1 ora)
Esamina tutti i materiali forniti da Bpeace sull'azienda e sul titolare dell'azienda. Ad esempio, ascolta la registrazione del colloquio di candidatura; visita il sito web e le altre pagine dei social media. Inizia a compilare il modello G-File.
2. Approfondimento (1-2 ore)
Con l'aiuto dello staff di Bpeace, programma la tua prima chiamata.
Prepara domande che aiutino a approfondire e contestualizzare.
Inizia a esplorare e a colmare le lacune nel modello chiedendo loro di raccontare la loro storia con parole loro.
Ascolta attivamente e chiedi "perché" per arrivare alle sfide e alle opportunità fondamentali.
3. Analisi (1-2 ore)
Pianifica la tua seconda (e terza, se necessario) telefonata con il proprietario della piccola impresa per ottenere ulteriori approfondimenti e contestualizzazioni.
Completa il modello PowerPoint G-File.
4. Revisione e completamento (1 ora)
Invia via e-mail il G-File completo al titolare della piccola impresa affinché lo esamini, fornisca un feedback e lo approvi.
Apporta le modifiche necessarie per la finalizzazione e invialo a Bpeace.
