Testimonials
We have worked with Connor Business Resources for going on nine years! That alone speaks volumes of the wonderful experience we have had working with Ann Connor. Being in the restaurant business for over 40 years we know that we don’t always have the time or the training to take good care of the business back end, most importantly financials! Ann’s financial expertise was instrumental in getting us on a budget, setting goals, and documenting our business plans and procedures. With her help we were able to hit one of our goals of building a new building for our restaurant and being able to be open year round.Kathie and Dennis Côté - Owners of Polly’s Pancake Parlor, Inc.
“I am a business owner who has run a successful business for 24 years. We produce and install high end stair systems throughout New England.
My experience with Ann was directed at upgrading our website and setting up a marketing plan targeting the Architects in our service area. We achieved our goals and addressed other areas of my business that benefitted from fresh eyes giving a fresh perspective.
Ann was very professional and a good listener who did not waste my time on issues that were not important in my business. I feel she has a lot to contribute to a business owner who is open minded and wants to advance their business to the next level. She showed a sincere interest in making King & Company a better business.”
Robert King Owner of King & Company
“One of the smartest decisions I've made as a new business owner was to work with Ann Connor...I have already reached several levels of success. I met my numbers goal within 2 months of our working together...Ann has an uncanny acumen when it comes to "guerilla" marketing, tracking numbers, and helping me determine just how many hands I need to shake to close a sale. There is no doubt that I would not be where I am without our weekly (very user-friendly) webinars. Ann Connor rocks!

“I want to thank Ann for helping me get back on track with my business. It’s easy to get so focused on the day to day operations that you forget to keep the larger picture in mind. The tools that Ann gave me were helpful in evaluating my sales and marketing goals. Working with you on a weekly basis helped me to be accountable for what I committed to accomplishing each week. Finally, putting it all together has helped me to keep focused upon my future goals and I am now confident that I will be able to reach them thanks to Ann’s help”
