Laser Tag Entrepreneurs Can Now Get Planning Assistance
New Another First from Intersphere Laser Games

Des Moines, Iowa, USA - Intersphere Laser Games today announced another new program to help entrepreneurs launch their own laser tag businesses. Finding that planning stalls too many entrepreneurs, Intersphere is now offering them the services of an expert planner.

For planning help, laser tag entrepreneurs can now call on Jack Linge, a consultant, college instructor, author, and the founder of several high-tech businesses. Intersphere Laser Games has reached an agreement with Mr. Jack Linge to make his services available to potential laser tag center owners. A retired attorney who has helped hundreds of entrepreneurs plan and start their new businesses, Mr. Linge teaches university courses in entrepreneurship, selling, marketing, finance, and management. Providing consulting services through his company, Selling Results Corporation, and collaborating with organizations such as Small Business Development Centers (part of the Small Business Administration), Mr. Linge’s professional focus has been on planning, growth strategies, and automation.

Intersphere has had extensive experience with laser tag entrepreneurs. "Dozens of our customers were able to make it through the planning process," said Todd Ferson, CEO of Intersphere LaserGames, "yet we know of many more who didn’t."

Mr. Ferson explained that "Most entrepreneurs and their advisors don’t know how to develop a winning business plan for laser tag. That’s why we’re offering them an expert."

Intersphere Laser Games recently introduced two other services to help laser tag entrepreneurs with planning – a Laser Tag Planning Guide and Laser Tag Business Plan Development Kit. "Our Planning Guide describes the simple steps to opening a successful laser tag center," Mr. Ferson said, "which helps entrepreneurs avoid making it too complicated."

The Business Plan Development Kits are also a first for the laser tag industry, Mr. Ferson said, because "instead of telling people how to write business plans, we actually wrote them." The plans, that are for a fictitious center in Victoryville, Ohio, include notes that explain the plans’ terminology. "We now offer written plans for three sizes – 10, 20, and 30 players," said Mr. Ferson, "including the Excel spreadsheets that makes customizing easy."

Mr. Linge, who is now available for consultation by e-mail and telephone, works with entrepreneurs and their other advisors, such as attorneys and accountants. In addition to planning, Mr. Linge emphasizes the importance of sales and marketing. Prentice-Hall will be publishing this summer the second edition of his book, Selling-Today.Com, which describes the use of technology to improve selling results.
