Meet a Jane Jen Fitzgerald

Posted on August 4, 2010 - Filed Under Accidental Jane

Jen Fitzgerald is a working mom and entrepreneur. Through her twelve years in the corporate world and her involvement in the Direct Selling Industry, she discovered the key to keeping clients coming back for more. Jen’s goal is to help her clients achieve those same results through her company, The Client Angel (www.clientangel.com).

Starting her own business was never Jen’s intention. “I just wanted something to organize myself and help me to remember things about my customers,” said Jen, “so that when I called them or contacted them, I could start off the conversation with something personal. That way I wasn’t feeling so salesy all the time and more like their friend. The more I did this, the more my clients started contacting me! I realized they were craving a friendship, not just the products So when I built The Client Angel, I showed it to some of my friends who were in Direct Sales and they LOVED it. I decided that I would turn it into a business and here I am!” As a busy working mom and entrepreneur, Jen needed to carve out time for her business, but she was overwhelmed without systems in place. She created The Client Angel to keep track of her clients’ lives and eliminate the cluttered paper system she was using. “It created a more personal approach to my business and my customers loved it!”

Jen’s greatest reward is also her inspiration. “I think the ability I have to help women get organized and create the relationships that we as women crave and are so good at is what inspires me,” said Jen. “I love to hear testimonials from clients that say how The Client Angel has helped them in their business as well as to create more friendships.”

After taking the free Which Jane Are You? assessment at www.JaneOutoftheBox.com, Jen discovered that she is an Accidental Jane. “I never intended to start a business,” reflects Jen, “but now that I have, I can’t imagine my life without it!! I am very much a fly by the seat of my pants type of girl. I do things on a whim and if they don’t work, I alter my methods or do something else entirely. My dream was to help women. I did not know how to do that but I ‘accidentally’ fell into this business and now I love it. I feel challenged on a daily basis. All the technology can be overwhelming. I may not know how to do something today and that makes me inpatient, because I feel like I need to know how to do it all – right now! I definitely feel like I am a Go Jane Go and a Tenacity Jane at times. I try to find balance but it is hard as I am just getting going on a huge path and it is scary and overwhelming but gratifying at the same time.”

Jen’s experience as an Accidental Jane has taught her some valuable lessons. “My advice is that you are not out there alone,” said Jen. “Once I started posting questions on forums, asking for help, the outpouring of help from other women has been wonderful. I love working with other women and finding out how I can help them in their business based on what I have been through.”
