Founded in 2011, YJT Solutions has emerged as a leading provider of managed IT services in the Chicagoland area. Linda MacLachlan, Founder and CEO, is sharing a few of her secrets to achieving an incredible 99% customer retention and happiness rate!

A preview of Linda's words of wisdom:

  • Learning from your colossal mistakes
  • Personal attention and a bit of empathy goes an incredibly long way with customers
  • Creating a team that is best suited to serve your customers is less about finding a good employee and more about finding a good fit
  • There is a time when it's necessary (and strategic) to walk away from a deal, leaving money on the table

At around the six-minute mark (6:00), Linda references one of her inspirations, legendary basketball coach John Wooden. Not sure who he was? Learn about him here.
