Raj and Jerry have been invaluable mentors to me since 2016, when I opened Karla Boutique, my quinceañera retail business. They supported me through the everyday realities of entrepreneurship, including marketing, customer service, lease negotiations, and the many decisions involved in operating a small business. When I decided to close the boutique around 2020, they also helped me thoughtfully work through that transition. Since 2025, they have worked closely with me as I grow Toltec Drywall. Their guidance has helped me become more strategic about identifying target customers, improving our marketing, developing outreach scripts, following up with potential clients, recruiting, using QuickBooks, and evaluating new business opportunities. After I launched Toltec’s website, they helped me refine the content and marketing message so it would more clearly communicate our services, strengths, and value. Many of the key selling points I now use to market Toltec were developed or strengthened through our mentoring sessions. What stands out most is how genuinely invested they are in the businesses and people they mentor. They listen, ask thoughtful questions, and help me work through whatever challenge I am facing. I often leave our meetings with clearer priorities and practical next steps that I can immediately put into action. They consistently encouraged me to keep contacting and following up with potential customers, even when progress was slow. Their encouragement helped me remain persistent, and after a long effort, Toltec gained two important new customers. I am extremely grateful for Raj and Jerry’s experience, honesty, encouragement, and many years of support. I highly recommend them and SCORE Houston to any small-business owner.

I absolutely love my mentors. Mr Raj, Mr Jerry and Ms. Tabitha.. I follow every single change implementation they suggest. They are knowledgable and I feel its like accumulated years of real world experience in businesses and entrepreneurship. They truly care about the success of my business and suddenly I dont feel as lonely as I believe many entrepreneurs feel all the time. Inrecommend the score service completely and the Great business mentors I have.

My SCORE mentor, Linh, has been amazing to work with. He has helped keep me accountable while also teaching me how to think more strategically about growing my business. Before working with Linh, I would usually pass along potential clients to friends when I was already booked for a date. Linh helped me see that I could instead bring in trusted contractors, serve more clients, and create additional revenue to reinvest back into my business. I would definitely recommend working with a SCORE mentor. Sometimes one good idea can make a major difference in how you operate and grow your business.

I have been working with Jerry, Jim, and Raj at SCORE Houston, and their guidance has been incredibly valuable. They have helped me develop a thoughtful sales strategy as I navigate a significant career transition into the luxury fashion industry. Building a premium brand is very different from my previous career, and their willingness to share their experience, ask thoughtful questions, and challenge my assumptions has helped me make more informed business decisions. What I have found most valuable is having experienced mentors who genuinely care about my success. They take the time to understand my vision, provide honest feedback, and offer practical advice without trying to push me in a direction that doesn't fit my brand. I highly recommend SCORE Houston to any entrepreneur, whether you are just starting out or growing an existing business. Having access to accomplished business leaders who generously volunteer their time and expertise is an incredible resource. I am grateful for Jerry, Jim, and Raj's support as I continue building my business.

When we decided to expand our business into Texas—a market we had never operated in before—we knew we needed as much guidance and support as possible. I had heard about SCORE, so I reached out several months before we were up and running. Looking back, it was one of the best decisions we ever made. Within minutes of contacting SCORE, I received a phone call, and shortly after, they invited me to come in and meet with them. I can't begin to explain what that has meant to our company. From negotiating our lease to HR, operations, sales, and overall business strategy, they have truly been our "dream team," supporting and guiding us every step of the way. We have been incredibly fortunate to work with Art Klebba, John Harris, Richard Webb, Mark Oppenheim, and Kevin Rosenberg. They meet with us regularly, challenge our thinking, share their experience, and genuinely care about our success. I would recommend SCORE to anyone looking to start, operate, or grow a business. It has truly been a blessing to us. The fact that these accomplished business leaders volunteer their time and share their knowledge as mentors is something I'll never take for granted. We are grateful for everything they have done for us and continue to meet with them 9 years later.

I had a wonderful experience working with SCORE Houston. My mentor. Ms. Vicky Gregorcyk, was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and encouraging throughout the process. She helped me assess my business plan and confirmed that I had chosen the right steps to develop my firm. Her guidance gave me more clarity and confidence as I moved forward with building a strong foundation for my business. What I found most valuable about the mentoring was having someone experienced review my ideas, ask thoughtful questions, and provide honest feedback. It helped me feel more prepared and reassured that I was on the right path. I would absolutely recommend SCORE Houston to other entrepreneurs. The mentoring is practical, supportive, and valuable for anyone who wants guidance while starting or growing a business.
