First Claim
1. In a computer system, a method for effectively selling at least one of products and services, wherein all steps are performed by the computer system, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) determining, by a processor executing logic, an existing network framework that includes a plurality of components,(b) defining, by the processor executing said logic, a plan for selling the at least one of products and services to a target market, the plan including improvements to the existing network framework;
(c) determining, by the processor executing said logic, a listing of targeted components that relate to the improvements to the existing network framework, wherein each targeted component offers one of the least one of the products and services for sale to the target market;
(d) determining, by the processor executing said logic, a listing of at least one of products or services that relate to the targeted components, wherein the at least one of products and services are necessary to implement the improvements;
(e) identifying, by the processor executing said logic, a plurality of identified business alliances among a plurality of business entities associated with the targeted components;
(f) associating, by the processor executing said logic, selected identified business alliances with each said targeted component, wherein the selected identified business alliances are selected from the plurality of identified business alliances;
(g) displaying, through a display adapter by the processor executing said logic, a pictorial representation of the existing network framework and the plurality of components, including the targeted components; and
(h) modifying, through the display adapter by the processor executing said logic, the pictorial representation by indicia coding the targeted components in order to sell the at least one of the products and services that relate to the targeted components and the plurality of identified business alliances, wherein the indicia coding identifies the selected identified business alliances.

Abstract
A system, method and article of manufacture are provided for selling products and services. First, an existing network framework is determined after which a plan is defined. Such plan includes improvements to the existing network framework. A pictorial representation is then presented of the existing network framework and a plurality of components of such existing network framework. The components of the existing network framework are then indicia coded in order to sell the products and services relating to the components of the existing network framework. It should be noted that such products and services are necessary to implement the improvements.
