| 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… |
||||
| Despite having been around for half a century and investing a great deal of time and effort marketing ourselves, we at SCORE are still frustrated at the number of people we encounter who ask us questions like “What is SCORE?” and “How can SCORE help me?” Well, we recently came across a highly entertaining two-minute animated video, titled “With SCORE, You’re Never Alone,” that we think tells our story remarkably well. Take a look. |
||||
| We know the holiday season is still several months away, even though the stores will be displaying merchandise, putting up decorations and hyping holiday sales before this month is out. For many businesses, the Christmas season represents a significant portion of their annual revenue, which is why we think now is a good time to make you aware of one of SCORE’s most popular webinars, “10 Ways to Maximize Your Holiday Sales.“ It will help you “ho, ho, ho” your way right to the bank. |
||||
| Email dominates business communications, but studies show that a huge amount of what we send receives little or no attention. How do you overcome that? We suggest the first step might be to take a gander at CNBC’s article, “3 Steps To Get Your Co-workers To Stop Ignoring Your Emails.” Get replies, not deletions! |
