When starting Synergema, I had the opportunity to meet with a SCORE mentor in West Chester, PA. I remember him saying to me that we could have the best services in the world, but it doesn’t mean anything if you don’t know and truly understand your clients. He strongly urged me to put a CRM as one of the central components of our business. Today, our CRM is one of the vital elements to our business. For sales we are able to see our pipeline and forecast sales trends, for project management we can see where projects are successful and where there are pending issues, and for the business as a whole we are able to forecast the ups and downs of business. It truly is a vital part of our business. Thank you SCORE.

When I first started my business, SCORE helped me in many ways, from preparing my business plan to applying for a loan. Now ten years later, my current SCORE mentor has helped me to clarify and focus on our core value proposition in order to maximize our web presence and better reach our target market online. SCORE provides and adds significant value throughout the entrepreneurial spectrum.”
Broadband is not a luxury, it is essential for my business,” says Yamile Jackson, founder, Zakeez, Inc. “Because our resources are limited, it is important to be efficient in how we distribute advertisements, news, and sales efforts to a wide audience. Broadband also allows me to reach customers around the world, conduct web conferencing and keep an eye on my competition. It allows me to save time, compare prices and create efficiencies when I purchase from vendors online.
For every hour they spend with me, my SCORE mentors have spent thousands of hours doing the same thing. The perspective of having been there and done that is extremely valuable."
