Richard Ates stated, “I would like to thank Franchon Greenfield on her tireless pursuit in reaching out to me and my firm to schedule an appointment to meet one on one with Quentella Enty. While in my one on one coaching session, emails were sent out to different buyers and agencies to connect my firm with opportunities. Starting a small business is a lot of work and I am glad to have the Chicago Urban League assist my firm in growing and gaining opportunities. I look forward to continue working closely with the Chicago Urban League and its staff. Quentella and Franchon were great in their efforts to assist me and my firm. I will keep you all posted on the success.”
