​SBDC Marketing Counseling Guidelines
I'm so excited to be exploring how we can boost your marketing program for your business! Before our first session, please take a few minutes to read the following information.

​SBDC services are dedicated to helping your business grow, and is funded primarily through Federal and State programs. While these advising services are free of charge to you and are completely confidential, SBDC Advisors, {all of which are independent contractors}, are only paid for their time that they meet with clients. In this time of increased demand and diminishing resources, it is very important that you plan for and keep appointments.
 
With this in mind, please adhere to the following:
 

• Many of my appointments are scheduled very close to each other, if you are late, it is possible that your time may not be extended. 
• Please contact me ASAP via text or phone at (831) 824-4135 if you are running late for your appointment. Please allow 24 hours' notice for cancellation or rescheduling. If done by email or voicemail, it is your responsibility to re-schedule. If you do not show for your appointment and there's no contact made within 5 days, it will be assumed that you are no longer interested in continuing services.
•  Please be prepared for your meeting. Bring all necessary documents, pens, writing pad, appointment calendar, etc.  
• If you have documents that need to be reviewed for your session, please make sure that I have them at least 48 hours in advance via email.
•  Please do not take telephone calls during your session unless previously discussed with me. Please set your phone on silent or vibrate before the session begins.

 
Other than our initial meeting that will likely take place at your place of business, most of our sessions will take place at the SBDC Office located at:
 
Cabrillo College
6500 Soquel Dr. #2100
Aptos, CA 95003
(831) 479-6136
 
The SBDC office is located directly behind the Sesnon House, so if you're traveling south on Soquel Drive towards Cabrillo College, you'll travel through the first stop light for the college and make an immediate right. You'll drive by the Sesnon House (it will be on your left) and the next driveway on your left will be a steep incline and you're able to park in the 15 minute zone spaces just outside the green SBDC building without a permit during our meeting time.

Just call/text me at (831) 824-4135 if you get turned around or are running late on the day of your appointment.
 
Thanks and I look forward to meeting you shortly!
