| 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.

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… |
||||
| The proliferation of social media platforms has created tremendous opportunities for business marketers, but it has also created great confusion. Which ones are most deserving of your efforts (and money)? SCORE attempts to clear the air in its popular one-hour webinar, “5 Ways to Prioritize What Social Network Your Business Should Invest In.” |
||||
| Do you know what your small business credit score is? Were you even aware there was such a thing? Well, there is, and it could be the reason you’re having trouble getting financing for your small business. Entrepreneur magazine explains this key measure and why it matters in “The Real Reason Banks Deny Loans to Many Small-Business Owners.” |
||||
| We recently became aware of The Content Marketing Institute ,which bills itself as “the leading global content marketing education and training organization, teaching enterprise brands how to attract and retain customers through compelling, multi-channel storytelling.” Despite that jargon-filled description, CMI offers a lot of terrific information, including an excellent 15-minute video, “Create & Repurpose Video Content for More Attention.“ It’s must-see viewing for anyone who wants to understand why video is so effective as a marketing tool. |
||||
| We always love it when our clients talk us up. Recently, Tim Near, founder and CEO of Cybog Lab, which develops technology for the analysis and enhancement of human movement, was interviewed by Live Free and Start, a state initiative working to make New Hampshire an even better place for innovative businesses to start, grow and succeed. Tim cites SCORE and his mentor, Rick Dassati, as being among the best resources he had in starting his business. |
