Business Growth Expert Named Partner at Cleveland-Based Marketing & Consulting Firm; on a Mission to Change How Small Business Grows

Online, January 22, 2011 (Newswire.com) - National Strategic announced today Roman Jakubowycz has been named partner, and will lead the firm's Consulting Group. Mr. Jakubowycz brings with him over 15 years of business experience. His familiarity with the business processes of Fortune 500 Companies helps form the foundation of National Strategic's trademark approach known as The Evolution of Business™.

"In a typical day, most small business owners are busy putting out fires or chasing after the next customer," explains Jakubowycz. "At a certain point, their businesses become stagnant or erratic because they can't sustain growth. It's because they don't have a process in place that keeps their organization focused on the big picture and on growth, amid the chaos."

Large corporations regularly forecast business results and then tie all business activity - including marketing - directly to that forecast. They then analyze actual results against the original forecast looking for warning signs to address along with new opportunities.

National Strategic has adapted these best practices into a five step business process that is suitable for the unique circumstances and needs of small businesses and their owners.

"Extending Roman a partnership has been a natural fit for National Strategic," states Eugene Shatsman, Founding Partner and Director of The Business Services Group. "Roman has made significant contributions during his time with the company, and brings with him a holistic approach to business growth that will strengthen our small business consulting practice. It is the perfect complement to our already successful Business Services and Business Education Divisions."

With the addition of Mr. Jakubowycz and The Evolution of Business™ process, National Strategic is perfectly positioned to help small business find the synergy between business process and their organizational resources. Only after finding this synergy, will a company be able to go from survival to stable to extraordinary.
