Sales presentation workshops in Kenya: Startup Budget and Quotation Checklist

Editorial update: 28 October 2026 · Business planning reference · Review scope

Define what must be funded before the first order

Build a startup quotation schedule for Learner briefs, Presentation setup, Feedback forms; separate setup, operating inputs and working cash.

This is a planning reference for sales presentation workshops. The order below is an invented teaching case. It is not a completed customer job, an operating approval or a prediction of demand or earnings.

The example offer and its boundary

Fictional sales-presentation workshop: six adult business owners each prepare a five-slide pitch for one actual permitted product, then practise a three-minute presentation and two-minute question round. No promised sales uplift.

Keep the budget categories separate

  • Learner briefs: Six one-product briefs with permissioned evidence. Confirm the quantity, landed quote and check rights to photographs/testimonials.
  • Presentation setup: One tested screen and compatible connections. Confirm the quantity, landed quote and have offline pdf backup.
  • Feedback forms: Six timing/evidence checklists. Confirm the quantity, landed quote and assess clarity and accuracy, not guaranteed persuasion.
  • Record equipment acquisition OR an appropriate use allocation, plus the full stock/minimum-order cash requirement; do not count both as the same per-job expense.
  • Obtain actual labour, premises, transport, energy/water, rework, payment and ongoing overhead amounts relevant to this activity. Identify deposits, receivables and payment dates separately.
  • Resolve the guide-specific evidence gaps listed in section 10. Any activity-specific permission, testing or specialist costs require actual scope and quotations, not an invented allowance.

These selected lines total KSh 8,130.00. They are a fictional operating example, not the full cash needed to start sales presentation workshops. Batch cost = KSh 8130; allocated cost per sale unit = KSh 1,355.00; assumed revenue = 6 × KSh 2200 = KSh 13200; pre-tax scenario surplus = KSh 5070. Illustrative class; no external pitching, sales outreach or commercial result is included.

Close the budget before spending

For each actual quotation, record the delivered quantity, specification, cash due date, hire/purchase option and quote expiry. Keep an unknown cost blank. Reusable equipment purchase, an appropriate use allocation and refundable deposits are different records; do not count the same item twice.

  • Facilitator competence, participant evidence rights and actual venue quote require confirmation.
