We Walk the
SBO Walk
By getting inside the minds (and hearts) of Small Business Owners (SBOs). See, it’s one thing to cruise the www, grab someone else’s data, and claim to be an “expert.” That’s not our style. We do our own research, conduct our own studies, draw our own conclusions. Not conclusions drawn from opinions and observations, but from accurate, current data, augmented by the collective experience of our specialists. We call it “data-informed Intuition”. Here are some examples
