Company description

I help my clients build Profitable Business Plans, to grow their business and manage that growth. We work privately, and/or in mastermind teams of like-minded small business owners to solve common problems, pinpoint individual problems in business, and we have fun doing it. I've worked with hundreds of clients since the early 2000's, to increase their prospects, build their revenue and become more profitable. If that sounds good, you can book a call with me at CallWithLorette.com to see if we've got that Gotham connection.

Interests

I sponsor Entrepreneurs University (entreuniv.org) where my scientific background and presentation skills come together to help entrepreneurs pitch for angel/VC funding. For the last 21 years, I've managed our local farmers market during the season. It's a blast, it's my retail laboratory, it keeps my family in kale and organic popcorn, and it has been part of creating community in our town-without-a-downtown.

Other organizations

I am a founding Board Member of the Montgomery (Township NJ) Business Association. In the past, I've served on the boards of the Institute for Management Consultants, as President of the National Speakers Association, NJ Chapter, the NJ Youth Symphony and the NJ Council of Farmers & Communities.

Good lead

Our ideal clients have been in business at least a year, have 0-20 employees, and are naturally drawn to collaborative business development. My-way-or-the-highway owners need not apply.
