Client Comments in our NPS Surveys during 1Q 2021
Why would you like to see this mentor again?
- Jill has been AMAZING!!!!!!!! She is informative, intelligent and eager to help. I asked her to push me and she is opening my eyes to concepts I haven't thought of in 19 years of business. Without a doubt, she has already been an invaluable asset to me
- Chris is everything that I was looking for in a mentor: knowledgeable, friendly, flexible, relatable & encouraging
- I was able to get along with my mentor right away, and felt comfortable speaking with him even though I am very new in the business/entrepreneur world.
- Shelli is the best mentor I've ever had
- She was nice and very welcoming I got a very positive vibe from her. She took into consideration of my plans and gave me the best resources I need to start my business
- I absolutely loved the service I received. In fact I love it so much I'm already inspired to be a SCORE coach as well.
- I've made the best decisions I can for myself and my business during Covid. I don't feel comfortable going forward with 'business as usual' and understand that mentorship can help me reinvent to meet the changes 2021 is ushering in. I feel really comfortable with Greg because he's positive and a little out-of-the-box - which is the key to success in challenging times
- Feel confident with Sharonda and the resources she provided.
- I feel confident in Anita’s ability to help me ensure I am not going to miss any needed steps.
- It's good to give credit where its due...my mentor deserves it ...good job.
- My mentor helped me come up with next steps and we have a 2nd meeting set up for next week to follow up.
- They gave us great advise which we are acting on. We will then circle back and discuss what we have learned in our follow ups
- Because my mentor had my best interest in his heart and I appreciate his help he was truly sincere
- Rob’s perspective is helping to focus me on the details, which helps point to larger decisions moving forward
- SHE IS VERY HELPFUL!
- My mentor has been great help for me not giving up. and trying new things with my business encouraged me to take more risk
- The[y] listened to all our questions, made suggestions on ways to get them answered and had ideas we hadn't thought of.
- Was able to get on the same page and understand each other
- Steve is awesome!
- Obvious is skilled in the area I needed info on.
- My Mentor was very knowledgeable, helpful, and truly was concerned with how best to assist me.
- This is a long, complex process, and I can't imagine going through it without an expert of Richard's caliber
Why would you recommend SCORE to a friend or colleague?
- This has been the most meaningful and insightful help I have received as an entrepreneur.
- I am absolutely blown away by the amount of support I received. I was not anticipating that. Stephen listened to what I said, helped me feel confident and supported in my goals, and sincerely put a lot of effort into getting us started.
- My mentor was on top of everything before I even got in the meeting with her she already had done her research.
- The turn around to connect with someone was really quick and When I connected with Jill, she was amazing! She showed concern not only for my business for for me as a person as well.
- Because my score mentor has been very responsive and knowledgeable. She also provides template documents for what I need so I don’t have to use time searching for them myself.
- How I was sble to still get what I needed in the age of covid
- This is an amazing resource! Even for people who may have some business knowledge, and especially for those who don't.
- Sometimes as business owners, we know what needs to be done (or at least have a general idea) in order to grow or refine but, we don’t always make time because we’re caught up in the day to day activities. For me, having a SCORE mentor is a way to keep me accountable. Also having a network of successful business people with mass amounts of knowledge can never be a bad thing!!
- This is a fantastic service! So helpful for someone just starting out, or who is established. I enjoyed talking to my mentor (he's great!) and look forward to our next meeting.
- The ability to speak with someone who has actually walked the same road we are on is invaluable.
- Score has always been very helpful. This is my second time using them

- Anita had answers to all my questions, great references and suggestions, and most importantly took the time to really listen and help me define my intentions
- Professional patient knowledgeable
- Great. Communication skills..appears genuine..very comfortable with Bob
- I have been utilizing SCORE for over 10 years and this organization provides valuable information and tools for current and upcoming business owners.
- Sharonda was kind, gentle and an incredible listener. She was supportive in her feedback.
- SCORE is a valuable resource that matches new entrepreneurs with seasoned ones that are further down the path and who are able to greatly assist with advise and strategy
- Each contact with a SCORE mentor challenges me to think outside my little box
- Greg W[] is kind, knowledgeable and warm. He has a great resume, community involvement and I feel he's invested in folks outcomes, especially very small businesses like mine.
