We will dig into what a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) tool is and the habits and processes that complement the technology.
Our mission is to foster a vibrant small business community through mentoring, learning and business development resources to the Twin Cities Metro, SCORE St. Cloud, SCORE NorthStar and Western Wisconsin areas. Our vision is to assure that every person has the support they need to thrive as a small business owner.
