Be Cool, Go Green!
by Amy Fleischer
Last month,
we set you on course to develop an energy conservation plan. Now
let’s put it into effect with some great ideas on how to
reduce your cooling energy consumption and costs! Read

This Month's Business Links on the Web:
Find Quality Vendors:
VendorSeek.com connects
business owners with pre-qualified vendors based on their needs and
the services that the vendor provides. This
simple, three-step process can help your clients locate the right service
provider using free, competitive quotes from a network of qualified
vendors.
Quick and Easy Website: If you're looking
to create a clean looking, but simple website on a tight budget, check
out www.homestead.com where
you can be up and running quickly! Without any formal training, SCORE
Naples counselor Wil Yegge created a website www.wilyegge.homestead.com to
showcase his paintings in about a day!
Greener Business: Business.gov has added content
around environmental compliance, energy efficiency, and money saving
tips for small business owners.
Dealing with Difficult People:

Are you looking for an opportunity to
give something back to the community? We are looking for a
few outstanding, talented men and women willing to share their business
knowledge and experience.
As a SCORE volunteer, you will join a congenial group of skilled business
professionals who volunteer a few days every month to counsel and help
small businesses succeed.
Why not get the facts and decide whether or not SCORE is for
you. Call 239-430-0081 or visit www.scorenaples.org/joinus.htm for
more information about helping small businesses succeed.
We have immediate needs for full-time resident volunteers to help us
with year-round counseling needs. Bi-lingual counselors needed to help
with programs geared towards the growing Hispanic population.
