Executive Overview
Even though there are computers on just about everyone's
desk, productivity hasn't increased during the last ten
years. The reason is that most people have replaced other
machines (typewriters and calculators, for example) with a
computer. It is important for your company to achieve
maximum productivity from your investment in its people and
office machines. The gap between using a computer as a
typewriter or a calculator and using it as a productivity
device (saving time and being more creative) is bridgeable
by learning more about what your computer is capable of
doing.
John Doe has identified several needs within your
organization. Your current specific needs are to:
* decrease costs
* improve productivity
* consolidate vendors
* upgrade job skills
* improve coverage
* secure the future
Random Excess has reviewed the objectives of XYZ Corporation
and is the ideal resource to meet these objectives. We can
provide a wide variety of options tailored to fit your
business needs.
Based on your business objectives, we recommend our complex
widgetry. The benefits of the Random Excess solution are
* reduced costs
* state-of-the-art technology
* single point-of-contact
* 10 million years of widget research
Financial Impact
Based on your current business needs implementation of this
solution results in this financial impact:
Monthly savings $550.00
Annual savings $6,600.00
Random Excess offers XYZ Corporation a unique opportunity
for high quality service while focusing on the bottom line.
By implementing this proposal, Random Excess will
* increase your profits by reducing costs
* maintain or increase the quality of your service with
state-of-the-art technology
* consolidate vendors to a single-point-of-contact
* provide premier customer service
* increase the productivity of your employees
Your Business Objectives
In the international widget industry, products play a
critical role in business success. Random Excess
understands that we must satisfy your specific needs to wind
and keep your business. With this in mind, our analysis
included
* analyzing your current situation
* consulting with your other vendors
* surveying select employees
* discrete financial analysis
Based on this analysis and discussion with XYZ Corporationis
personnel, we identified the following needs:
* Cost for complex widgetry continues to rise to
unacceptable levels. In the past, XYZ Corporation has
attempted to decrease these costs by using various
vendors, with marginal or no success.
* Your ability to conduct business has been negatively
affected by inadequate service and outdated technology.
It is important to XYZ Corporation to have an efficient
and reliable product source.
* XYZ Corporation has been dissatisfied with your vendors'
responsiveness after the sale. Not only must XYZ
Corporation contact multiple vendors to resolve
problems, but the response is frequently slow. At
times, it is unclear how to contact vendor's customer
service department.
In addition, because XYZ Corporation continues to grow and
requires additional complex widgetry, you'll need a widget
vendor that can provide high quality, secure,
state-of-the-art services.
Recommendation
In response to the specific needs and issues and to the
business objectives that XYZ Corporation's staff have
expressed, we recommend the following Random Excess
solution: Gizmor Complex WidgetMaster.
Random Excess manufactures the Gizmor Complex WidgetMaster
at its top secret factory in Las Cruces, New Mexico using
the latest in widget technology. Due to the location of
your plant, we propose to provide shipping FOB Santa Fe
where there is a fully modernized rail yard.
The beauty of our particular widget is in its ability to
adapt to changing environments and conditions within
nanoseconds. This is particularly important for OEM's like
XYZ Company whose products must withstand many changes in
the course of its usage.
Random Excess will also include an advertising allowance
(soft dollars) equal to 1% of all complex widgets purchased.
Random Excess will guarantee our products for a period not
to exceed 2 years with all service costs to our account.
In summary, the Random Excess solution will align your
systems with your business strategy.

Corporate Overview
Random Excess, with headquarters in Las Cruces, New Mexico
was started in October, 1086 by lost Apache gold miners.
Today Random Excess has expanded into all major countries of
the world and has offices located on every continent
including the Arctic and Antarctic.
In Fiscal Year 1991, Random Excess did over $12 billion in
sales with a net profit of $1 billion. Random Excess is
solely dedicated to the pursuit of better widgetry. We
market no other products.
Random Excess presently employs 55,000 people worldwide with
no office containing more than 50 employees including the
headquarters office in Las Cruces. This leads to complete
decentralization of management and allows all employees to
determine their own course of action.
Random Excess maintains a highly sophisticated testing
facility in the desert outside Las Cruces. This facility
has been responsible over the years for such innovations as
sliced bread, the wheel, rocket science, and toilet paper.
The product line of Random Excess although limited to widget
production is capable of producing thousands of varieties of
widgets to meet the needs of our changing clientele.
Summary
The purpose of Random Excess' analysis has been to identify
methods of assisting XYZ Corporation in the achievement of
its profit-oriented goals.
Analysis of Random Excess's needs reveals that by
implementing the Random Excess recommendation, XYZ
Corporation will realize a net profit improvement. This is
achieved by substantially reducing current widget
expenditures.
The Random Excess solution, Gizmor Complex Widgetry, not
only provides XYZ Corporation with an attractive price,
higher quality, and another source of supply, but will also
reduce initial expenses due to our current promotions.
Through Random Excess's superior "hands-on" approach to the
customer service team, implementation of services will be
accomplished in a timely, professional manner, with frequent
follow-up visits with appointed XYZ Corporation staff. It
is Random Excess's intent to earn a strong, trusting
relationship with XYZ Corporation secured through quick,
smooth service transition and organized, open communication
between both companies. The Random Excess customer service
team will be available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
In short, Random Excess's recommendation presents a
lucrative business opportunity in positive financial terms,
superior product quality, and dedicated customer support.
Random Excess respectfully requests your serious
consideration to begin a long-term, solid relationship
between Random Excess and XYZ Corporation.
