Client Success Story: Debbie Williams, Loving Touches Memorial Services
Bonita’s comments: I am very impressed with the success Debbie has 
achieved. She’s creative about what needs to be done to drive growth of her new business. She’s also smart about who she markets to, adjusts her plans quickly when things haven’t worked as planned, and, most importantly, possesses the characteristics of a successful entrepreneur—drive, passion, persistance, business management skills, and the ability to “run the marathon” of growing a new business. She is a model entrepreneur and client. Here is her story:
“On December 31 2008 I was laid off from my corporate job with a large hotel technology company in the suburbs of Chicago. Little did I know, this would be the best thing that could ever happen to me! The process of figuring out how to make my dream of having my own small business a reality was not coming easy until I was introduced to Bonita in March 2009.
Bonita worked directly with me in the planning and researching of my business. With only 5 months under my belt, I was able to launch my company, Loving Touches Memorial Services on July 01, 2009. We still meet twice a month to brainstorm, develop strategies, and change my focus based on my experiences the previous two weeks.
With Bonita’s assistance, I continue to work towards increasing the awareness of my business, and the goal of working with more families on a regular basis. This past month, I’ve assisted 4 new clients with my services, increased traffic to my website 98%, and am hiring 5 people, Memorial Referral Specialists, to my team to extend my market reach.
Bonita has been instrumental in providing solutions, marketing ideas, and cost effective ways to get my business to market. As I celebrate the 1-year anniversary of my business, I’ve realized that Bonita is not only a business coach, but has become a cheerleader, and friend.
Loving Touches Memorial Services has reached out and assisted many families in the Chicagoland area during what is one of the most difficult times of their lives. I am so pleased to be able to help families create “A Celebration of Life” service for someone they loved so much. I now enjoy the pleasure of being my own boss and yet continue to have the great support of Bonita beside me.”
