"My relationship with the SBDC began through the NYS SEAP program. Greg understood the landscape I was coming from and helped me see clearly how my experience could be structured into marketable, scalable consulting services. While I came in with a solid foundation, the real value was in the specificity he brought — helping me identify the gaps in the nonprofit market that my background was uniquely positioned to fill, researching appropriate market rates for my digital products, and sharpening the focus of my service offerings so I was attracting the right clients rather than simply casting a wide net.
What I didn't expect was how ongoing the relationship would become. As CA Strategies Consulting has grown — adding new products, expanding services, and entering new markets — Greg has remained a consistent resource. Building a consulting practice from the ground up requires someone who understands both the business fundamentals and the sector you're serving."
