Client Testimonial

Gary is an absolutely amazing businessman, teacher and mentor. We’ve been to several other consultants, and Gary’s business class at LCC and one on one advice has been far more practical and applicable. He’s helped us fine tune our total value proposition, gave our marketing plan more direction and completely revamped our accounting so our data analysis was meaningful. Under Gary’s guidance, our gross sales have increased nearly 400% in the past year!! Thank you SO much Gary, you’ve truly been instrumental in our success. If you’re looking for business advice, I couldn’t recommend anyone more!

SBDC Client of the Month

Sparky’s Landscaping

“I have a clearer mindset and tools to work with thanks to Roger Wong, Gary Smith and my fellow classmates” says Mark Leder of Sparky’s Landscaping. Mark knew that being successful takes a supportive business community, so he reached out the Lane Small Business Development Center. He utilized several classroom programs including the Small Business Management three-year program, and Your Business Plan Accelerator Program.
