Sue Clement Accelerating from Zero to Five Million

It all began in a gutted office space surrounded by used furnishings and equipment acquired at auction. No clients, one employee, but a whole lot of guts and tenacity. A short five years later, Sue Clement’s first $1 million client signed a 2-year contract. Within nine years, she was at the helm of a $5 million employment agency with a pool of well over 500 temporary employees.

“ A huge part of the magic of business, for me, has always been creating something out of nothing,” Sue says. “When you start out, you do it all yourself. But as a company grows, you really need to become a leader whose role is to bring out everyone’s best. In many ways, you are a mentor and a coach.”

With the January 2000 sale of her now multi-million dollar employment agency, Sue realized the move to business coaching was a natural match for her talents and personality. “An employee once told me how wise I’d been after helping her work through a major life crisis. It helped me realize that, yes, I do have insight and the ability to share wisdom.” Thus began Sue’s newest adventure.

Along the way, Sue has always been firmly on the fast track in her career — a career invariably characterized by quick promotions and total autonomy. She has been Branch Manager for an international temporary agency in Edmonton where, based on outstanding performance, she was transferred to Vancouver and doubled sales in less than nine months; she’s successfully worked a 100% commission position with an upscale Alberta magazine; and she’s assumed responsibility for 13 popular fashion retail stores in a territory which covered Red Deer to Fort McMurray — a territory the company initially developed specifically
for her.

“I believe the four cornerstones of success are the same for every business, every career, every person,” Sue stresses. “Start with tenacity, the sheer determination to succeed no matter what. Be resourceful so you can find new ways of achieving the desired result even when something looks impossible. Have the courage to get up every morning and continue along the road you’ve chosen. And finally, never let go of the belief that you will be a success. These cornerstones have worked for me — let me help put them to work for you.”
