Beeliner Surveys

Company Description: Web-based survey software company
When you're in business for yourself, it's easy to get into the mode of “immediate problem fixer” but you also need to be a “long-term strategist.” It was invaluable to have a neutral third party help us look at our business top-level and SCORE provided exactly that and more. Our SCORE counselor helped us objectively analyze our product lines to determine which had the most potential for profitability. He also helped us identity areas of our business that we could make more efficient and organized. It would have been difficult for us to find someone so knowledgeable and intensely interested in our success without SCORE!
