Mr. Adam Schuman was and is a valuable influence in the progress of my businesses. He has provided advice & input that has aided in my business’s growth and progression. Mr. Schuman is always available to answer any questions or concerns I have had and he always makes me feel like no question is insignificant. He goes above and beyond with providing information & materials that are useful to the growth of my brand and business. I don’t feel like I am meeting with a consultant. I feel like I am talking to a dear friend who cares deeply about my business and its success. I will always be grateful to Mr. Schuman.
- Dionne D., Small Business Founder
In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Adam proved to be a godsend. He exhibited such patience with me during this unprecedented time. His incredible professionalism remained unscathed as he guided me, a novice, through the process of improving my marketing skills. Adam consistently reassured me that questions were welcomed, even if I asked the same ones repeatedly. He even encouraged me to give him constructive criticism. Adam’s confidence in his field shone through brightly as he helped me to progress in knowledge and understanding. I could not have asked for a better match!
