Our biggest initial challenge will be to get our name known in the local market.We will become involved in several industry specific organizations in the local community whichwill give us direct access to potential customers.
5.3 Sales Strategy
Sales will focus a bit less on building relationships and more on solidifying confidence in AustinKinetic's competencies and skills.

Delivering this answer ina clear, concise proposal allied with competitive pricing will be the key to closing deals.

Within the first six months, Austin Kineticwill have signed three annual service contracts, doubling that by the end of the year and eachsemi-annual period thereafter. Sales contracts will be set period contracts paid by monthlyinstallments.
As a service business, our only direct costs would relate to the time spent by employees in
responding to customers' needs. Our employees are all paid a set salary, and not by hourlybilling, so we have no direct costs of sales; these salaries can be found in the Personnel Plan.

8.3 Projected Profit and Loss
In the first year, we will be based out of the founders' homes. Adam Authortisement hasrenovated his garage for use as a meeting space and general office, when we need to gettogether as a group. Utilities in the first year represent the cost of home high-speed Internetaccess for all five employees ($45 each per month). This access is necessary forcommunications between personnel and for file transmission for all project and service work.
After the first year, it will be more cost-effective and attuned to our growth to rent a space indowntown Austin, where we can consolidate equipment, combine utilities, and have a central
location for our work and our secretary. Office space rented beginning FY2006 is forecast to be$2,500 per month.
The Profit and Loss also includes a provision for charity donations, which we have deemedimportant to our mission, as well as to marketing and outreach in the community. Starting inthe second year, 5% of net profits each will be set aside for charity on an annual basis basedupon the previous year's performance.
After the first month, Marketing and Promotion expenses are set at 5% of the previousmonth's and year's sales.
