I had no idea this amazing program existed until I heard about it on a business podcast. Jim Linneman has been a great mentor and very helpful to guide me through the scaling phase of my business. He is so supportive with my ideas and able to offer suggestions to help focus my efforts to support my mission, vision and values!

I moved to TN about 4 years ago. Chuck Christiansen has been a great help in helping me get my business going in this state. Whenever I have a question, big or small, he responds quickly. I still turn to him for help on occasion and its great to know that Chuck and SCORE are there when I need them. They are a wonderful resource and I am so appreciative of their help and support.

The SCORE Mentors in Knoxville have been great in my experience. I saw several of them and most have since retired, but one, Chuck Christiansen is still volunteering (in the Raleigh NC office where he moved recently). Chuck is a fantastic counselor whos time is well worth yours and then some. He will listen closely and provide great insight drawn from his many years experience. As far as the counselors in the Knoxville office these days, Im not sure, but I have always been impressed with the SCORE people in the past so it would definitely be worth trying.

Score has helped me focus on the business side of being a creative. I love designing and creating art but then what? My Score advisors have really helped me brainstorm and come up with creative ways to sell my art. Thank you!

I have been blessed to receive mentorship from SCORE of Greater Knoxville. My three mentors are the best - they provide solid business advice as well as caring moral support, and have truly made a difference in my small business journey. I credit them for many of the pivotal decisions Ive made during my two+ years in business, and I know they will continue to be a positive influence on my career success.

Chuck Christensen was my first score mentor, and he was the best. He helped me to understand my industry a little better, and really sounded like he believed in me. He was always positive, and always focused more on the solution then the problem. Great man!

Score Mentors care and go out of their way to make sure business owners get the help they need and want! Very dedicated people donating their time to pay it forward. Great ideas and advice...for FREE!

Our non-profit has been using Mr. Charles Christiansen as an expert consultant for the last 6 years. In fact, if it werent for him (and his wonderful wife who helps behind the scenes) this non-profit would not exist. Had we known what a great resource they would be, we would have named it after them right from the start!

Charles Christiansen was one of my primary score counselors. He took a personal interest in my understanding of my business plan, execution, how to strengthen it, and the game plan that we set forth to move forward. I felt like Mr. Christian had a vested interest in me and my success the entire time we worked together.

I was priviledged enough to work with Knoxville SCORE to prepare my business plan. SCORE helped me fine tune every detail prior to launching my business. I am pleased & blessed to say we celebrate our third year in practice in October. I could not have done it without the expertise of Charles Christiansen. Beyond thankful!

Score Mentors have been helpful on getting me into the right direction with my small business and truly all the help they so far have given at no cost has helped me big time on reaching my goals they are life best!

I could not have done it without my SCORE mentor, Chuck. He was knowledgeable, encouraging and responsive. So thankful!

I have been very privileged to benefit from Chucks mentoring, advice and his timely response to the many issues in regard to my work with many non-profit organizations on Guam and Micronesia. i highly recommend Chuck and SCORE without any reservation.

I had a stellar team of SCORE counselors working all together with me on my startup concept in public manufacturing: Charles Christiansen, Marc Brashares and Bob Nicholson. They embraced my big dream and told me exactly what I needed to know to help me be realistic and pragmatic. They are attentive and eager to help. For those moments when you dont know what questions to ask, they have the experience to keep the conversation going. I couldnt ask for better and highly recommend!

Mr. Charles Christiansen through the SCORE Program has been a faithful and beneficial business mentor for me at Covenant Counseling. He has provided excellent business referral resources, meanful ideas for expansion and growth along with the tools that were customizable for our business model. Best business mentoring program no matter how large or small, old or young your business may be!!!Donna

My SCORE mentor, Mr. Charles Christiansen is the most generous and helpful person Ive ever met in my life. Me, in spite of being a foreigner, my SCORE mentor Mr. Christiansen is helping me in the best way he can, to get my US Patented new technology - Free Electron Wire, commercialized in U.S.A.

A wealth of experience and a desire to truly help you succeed in the business world. This has been a learning opportunity and has had immediate positive results.

SCORE came in at specifically the right time. New business owners should not move forward with the DREAM until youve reached out and allowed SCORE to guide your path, walk with you and celebrate you when you succeed!

Experienced business owners helping startup companies at no cost. You get more than you pay for, and its definitely worth your time.

Mr.Christiansen is quick to respond, and always ready to help.

Ken and Walter are so helpful and dedicated to the success of their clients. Thank you!
