Presenter Bios:

Robert Pennell: Building a business takes commitment and determination – not to mention patience. I’ve successfully developed a business plan, secured institutional financing, recruited necessary personnel, and promoted the start-up of my legal practice so I know what needs to be done. For ongoing success, you have to build a loyal client base. In my case that was through personal attention, quality service and consistent follow through but every business model is different. The key is to identify your core market and determine the best way to drive business to that market which is much easier said than done. Through SCORE we can help you to answer these questions. I’d like to be able to help you move your business goals forward through SCORE.

Stuart Epstein: My background in financial analysis, accounting, and financial controls gave me a good overview of what it takes to operate a company successfully. My strengths are in helping companies understand their operations and financial results with an eye to monitoring profitability. With my small company experience, where one learns to wear many hats, I can help business owners with the various aspects of business they need to consider to be successful.

Thomas Meyer: is a sales and marketing professional with a 37-year history of accomplishments in strategic selling, sales and product management and business development. Per Tom, “The key to my success in working with large corporate clients is to follow strategic selling principles, as well as, provide solution and servant based approaches with my clients. My goal with this panel is to help our SCORE clients develop effective sales and marketing plans, secure mutually successful long term customer relationships and to grow sales and revenue.
