My experiences crosses over from small business to nonprofit. I can help clients develop sales, marketing (trade show & event) and business strategies to launch and grow their small business. As the founder, owner, manager of a small business that grew it from launch to over $1.5 million in annual revenue, my experieinces parallel those needed by SCORE clients - operations management, entrepreneurship, family business,turnaround strategies and communications. For many years, general management, trade shows and events, relational sales, strategic marketing and small business ownership were the challenges that made my career interesting. I founded a successful small business in the trade show and event industry that specialized in strategic market planning, exhibitor and event staff training and performance measurement. Prior to running my own business for 28 years, I was president/CEO of an oil and gas manufacturing companies .I am also a published author and blogger. With my background in strategic planning, start-ups, go-to-market and promotions strategies, I have helped countless entrepreneurs and owners achieve their business goals. My portfolio also include nonprofit Board development and management, development and facilitation of strategic planning. If you would like to discuss how I can help you, please contact me.
