Focusing on relationships – Your Biz, Your Town

Share the goods.

Today’s Your Biz, Your Town segment on WGVU’s Morning Show with Shelley Irwin was focused on small businesses and the importance of building and maintaining relationships. Shelley and I had the pleasure of chatting with 2 very interesting local entrepreneurs and small business owners.

Fettig, formerly Ameritemp Staffing has existed in our community since 199 and recently rebranded this past year to better represent their expanded services, location and culture. Fettig’s strategy is to focus on great recruiters because that  means better placements for our clients and applicants. Their goal is to make sure that their culture, compensation, and benefits ensure that their Team Members want to be a part of the team and remain passionate in what they do. Check them out.

Another business has recently launched in Grand Rapids called, Paramount Realty Partners. Owner, Chad Koster has over 20 years of experience in the real estate industry and in 2012 decided to take that experience and launch a new kind of residential real estate business that specializes in relationships, innovative selling solutions and a concierge approach.

They know that you have enough to keep you busy during the day without worrying about the intricacies of the real estate market in greater Grand Rapids, or the day-to-day movement of the lending industry.  Check them out.

As a small business owner myself, I understand how important developing and maintaining relationships with your community, clients and local media can be. I applaud these two businesses and their unique approach to customer service and their focus on building a great internal culture that nurtures their employees and is warm and welcoming to their clients

Keep up the great work and thanks for making Grand Rapids your home.

Something on Your Mind?

Perimenopause results in a brutal shift in energy, productivity, motivation, and mental clarity. We are leading companies, people, and navigating and holding up the world while the general public gets the ‘ick’ at the mention of our bodies, physicians hand out antidepressants as a solution, and there is little to no education or awareness on the subject.

Combine the two and you get our next Uncomfortable Conversation: The Pause, presented in partnership with the SBAM Women’s Business Council.

Let's get uncomfortable together. Register for the conversation. Link in bio.
