Mr. M spent a great deal of time listening to my dreams, goals, and the history of my organization. Then, he started coming up with concrete ways of how to move forward. Additionally, he seems genuinely interested in the success of C G W. He also followed up via email and telephone with more helpful suggestions. I am extremely grateful for his guidance & support!

P gave me time, attention and constructive ideas. It was beneficial to me, both in confirming my ideas, and adding some new steps to take, also the widsom/advice to take it at a reasonable pace, to allow it to grow, step by step, not to push myself with unrealistic expectations. M.K. Paso Robles

As a business entrepreneur being open to different ideas and experiences from the SCORE mentors can never do any harm. I find that sometimes you become isolated and in this economy the magical opportunity or idea can come from any source. Talking to people that have been on this path can only be of benefit.  C.M. Arroyo Grande

The advice was not only practical but very goal-oriented. I liked L's approach to business where she gave a phrase for me to take home which would give me a quick, clear definition of what needs to be done to succeed! I also liked her and J's follow-up with emails and calls. The whole experience was more than I expected and I appreciate the fact that SCORE exists for the community and was there for me! .  K.M.  Atascadero

The 3 mentors were all very responsive. Particularly J as he regularly contacts me via email and is very prompt. They also ask very thoughtful and relevant questions and give helpful feedback. We are looking forward to continued support.  D.P. Santa Maria

I thought that both of the counselors were very helpful and clearly had a lot of experience in helping people with all sorts of business ideas. All of their suggestions for getting started were great. They were very polite and professional. I liked meeting with two counselors, rather than just one person... you know what you are doing!  H.V. Arroyo Grande

My first meeting with P was very informative and he was very knowledgeable about the subjects we discussed. He took time to make sure everything was explained to me in detail and all my question were answered  K.W. Paso Robles

We happen to download the 28 page plan and filled out a lot of it before our meeting... it is invaluable. Having neutral feedback from a business plan focus is wonderful and useful in a down to earth manner. L.P.  Atascadero

Reason For Score Given: All my questions were answered. The mentors were friendly, courteous and knowledgeable. I think it's wonderful that prospective entrepeneurs in the community have this invaluable resource available to guide them.  S.R.  San Luis Obispo
