     When seeking an appointment, please use our Request for Counseling Form and Pre-Counseling Questionnaire (see Forms Link) to help define your immediate concerns and needs. Mail it to either office or call us to set an appointment with a counselor. 

We will use the information on your questionnaire to help create a Business Improvement Program specifically for you.  We will first meet with you to:

• Address your immediate concerns in the context of your overall business situation.

Then, together, we can:

• Discuss and create a long-term strategic plan for your business.
• Set one-year goals and create a business plan and cash flow projections.
• Review management or organizational issues to improve your operations.
• Consider your marketing goals and set strategies to achieve them.
• Set realistic and achievable financial and profitability goals.
• Address employee/human resource issues.
• Improve your sales strategies and techniques.
• Explore and recommend additional resources and/or training as appropriate to your specific needs.
• Review your progress periodically to assure long-term success.
