SCORE Eastern CT (https://www.score.org/easternct), Mentors to America’s Small Businesses, presents a free Small Business webinar, “Starting and Running a Service Business,” with SCORE mentor Eric Munro.


Many processes and strategies apply equally to those businesses that sell products versus those that sell services. However, for a service-based small business, the intangible product is that provided by the owner. In other words, “you” are the product, so you are selling or providing what you do (not a product that you manufacture or distribute).

This webinar will focus on identifying the key activities you need to develop to run your service-based business profitably. Topics will include:

· Finding and targeting your client base;

· Building strong relationships with clients;

· Defining the potential value of the service you offer;

· The pricing model;

· Providing high-quality service


Workshop presenter Eric Munro is a product management, sales and marketing executive with experience in high-technology businesses, both domestically and internationally. Prior to retiring, Eric was Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing for a telecommunications equipment manufacturer based in Meriden, Connecticut. His career also includes consulting in business management for a division of DeVry University as well as teaching graduate MBA classes where he provided his expertise on project and strategic management.
