Like the rest of the Jian product line, Marketing Builder is dependant on Microsoft Word and Excel to run multiple documents and spreadsheets. This program seems to work more effortlessly than the BizPlan Builder program and is much less cumbersome to operate. The program allows you to build a marketing plan from several different templates and one financial program that amounts to a marketing budget. The budget, as it seem with all of the Jian products, is comprehensive. So much so, that DIYBizPlan found several sections that didn’t apply and were just skipped. Though for as many as we skipped there were an equal number that were excellent and easy to follow.
 
Also, like BizPlan Builder, each section of the plan includes text that is customized with your company information and owners name giving “boiler plate” text that is then customized giving suggestions to the user. The plan outline is comprehensive but it is also a little daunting for a first time plan writer. Our Marketing Plan was 37 pages before we even typed a single word.
 
It seems that this program would benefit a business owner more a few years down the road than it would at start-up. One thing is clear; tens of thousands of man hours were put into the Jian Product line. Never before have we seen so much material in a suite of planning programs. It has been said that if a planning program were written for all the different types of companies out there with all of their complexities the document would be a thousand pages long. Jian’s suite of Business Planning programs may be the first company to make that attempt…and from what we have seen one thousand pages is not far off.
 
Highs: Pre-filled Customized Text, Easy Navagation
Lows: A Little Overbearing, Highly Complex Budgeting Spreadsheets
Bottom Line: Lots of Content for not a lot of dough
