Palo Alto Software supports SCORE at upcoming National Leadership Conference

Aug. 14, 2008 - PRLog -- Palo Alto Software is pleased to announce they will be a sponsor of the SCORE National Leadership Conference for the second year in a row. At this year's conference in Dallas, Texas, from Tuesday, August 19, through Thursday August 21, 2008, Palo Alto Software will be represented by Marketing Manager Kristen Langham. She will be joined by John Jantsch, author of Duct Tape Marketing, and partner for Palo Alto Software's newest product: Marketing Plan Pro 11.0 powered by Duct Tape Marketing. Thursday's conference luncheon will feature a presentation by John Jantsch's Duct Tape Marketing system, a step-by-step way to create a simple, effective, and affordable marketing plan.

Palo Alto Software will be donating 250 copies of Business Plan Pro Premier Edition and Marketing Plan Pro powered by Duct Tape Marketing to SCORE counselors at the show. They will continue to support SCORE chapters nationwide by donating software to all counselors throughout the year. Last year's donations of Business Plan Pro were met with gratitude by SCORE counselors like Rich DeFalco, Chairman of SCORE Montgomery, who can’t stop raving about Business Plan Pro. DeFalco observes that Business Plan Pro gives SCORE clients an “accurate, flexible, and complete understanding of their business, all developed in a fast, easy to comprehend manner.”

Gregory Nelson, Chairman of SCORE Naples, says, “Through Palo Alto’s generous software donations to SCORE offices, our counselors are able to provide tremendous help to our clients, many of whom had never previously seen a business or marketing plan. We are not only able to show them a sample plan, but one that is often very close to their target business. This gives our clients great confidence that they can be successful and helps them understand the types of business issues that must be addressed.”

Nelson also highlighted the ease of use afforded by the software. Nelson notes, “our clients do not have to be computer experts to produce world-class business and marketing plans that ultimately help them better succeed… Palo Alto’s software is a proven tool to speed up the process.”
