| 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. |

| Online reviews have become critical to the reputation and success of your company and its products and services. Today people rarely make a purchase of any significance without first checking to see what Amazon, Yelp, HomeAdvisor and similar sites have to say. That’s probably the reason “Use Online Reviews to Attract New Customers – and Keep Existing Ones Happy” is one of SCORE’s most popular webinars. Give it a look. |
||||
| More and more start-ups in need of funding are turning to crowdfunding as an alternative to traditional financing. In addition to raising capital, crowdfunding also provides a treasure trove of useful marketing data that, if used properly, can significantly increase the odds of your business succeeding. Entrepreneur magazine’s “10 Tips to Make Your Crowdfunding Campaign a Success“ ensures your campaign is a winner. |
