Crafting an onboarding system for a fast-growing catering company. Aiding a mental health professional to launch a telemedicine business. Guiding an award-winning sports retailer to better trumpet his success.
All of these client cases typify the street-smart approach offered by Jeff Williams, CEO of Arlington Heights-based Business Boosters. Williams draws from his twenty-eight-year experience building three successful businesses: business startup coaching, small business publishing and business growth consulting.
“I only recommend resources and processes to my clients that I have personally used in growing my own businesses,“ says Williams. “My success in using these techniques gives me confidence that they will be effective when applied by the CEOs of my business growth consulting clients”.
Williams combines an MBA in Marketing from the Kellogg School at Northwestern University with an eighteen year career as a corporate marketing executive with Corning, Sears and Rand McNally and twenty-eight years as an entrepreneurial business owner.
Williams specializes in advising businesses run by a single owner or a small group of entrepreneurial owners where it is sometimes rare to find a manager highly experienced in marketing, financial management or operations.
Business Boosters permits the CEO to outsource his need for specialized assistance in implementing new marketing, financial, human resource and operations plans to aid the more rapid growth of his company.
A typical consulting engagement for Business Boosters runs ninety days, during which time important challenges to the growth of the client business can be effectively overcome thanks to Williams’ long experience in his own businesses in quickly sizing up the main challenge being faced and then rapidly crafting a plan to implement very clear action steps.
Williams’s peer-entrepreneur approach to consulting has also attracted the attention of the managing board of Next Level Northwest, a five-year old business accelerator program funded by the municipal boards of Elk Grove Village, Schaumburg, Hoffman Estates, Rolling Meadows and Hanover Park. Williams participated on the team which developed procedures and process for bringing the program to life, and from its inception has served as a senior consultant to the CEOs of a wide variety of successful businesses located in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago.
