| COMPASS Now Available Throughout Southern New Hampshire Thanks to a generous grant from The Provident Bank, COMPASS, Merrimack Valley SCORE’s free Business Assessment Program, is now also available to small businesses in the Monadnock and Seacoast areas. Since its launch almost two years ago, COMPASS has helped countless small businesses identify their strengths and weaknesses. Using a quick, easy, comprehensive and, above all, effective, online questionnaire, COMPASS probes your General Management, Finance, Sales and Marketing, Resource Management and Operations, delivering a report that not only tells you what you’re doing well and where you need help, but also provides a solid foundation for a SCORE mentor team to assist you. |

| Stuff We Like… |
||||
| Kudos to SCORE client Elyssa Alfieri, owner of Lilise Designer Resale and one of the competitors in our 50th anniversary business competition, who was recently named to the Forty Under Forty by the Union Leader. |
||||
| Tax time is on the horizon, and while we know we have to pay, every small business owner strives to keep their tax bill as small as possible. Not surprisingly, one of SCORE’s most popular webinars is “Tax Strategies to Ensure You Pay #NotOneDollar More.” Watch it and keep more money in your pocket. |
||||
| Many people, when buying a product or service, are compelled to ask for a discount. As the seller, however, you’ve probably put a great deal of effort into establishing what you think is a fair price and are reluctant to reduce it. How, then, do you deal with a request to cut your price? Entrepreneur magazine’s “ “When Clients Ask for Discounts, Ask Them…Why?“ provides the answer. |
||||
| We’ve talked here often about the importance of video in your marketing efforts. However, many of the clients we talk to are overwhelmed by the prospect of entering this field, which is why we think this short video, “Get Started with Video/Stop Overcomplicating,” is worth a look. |
