Rachel Black – RSB Solutions, LLC
Rachel Black has a natural gift for connecting with people. She also loves solving problems. Put those two together and you will understand the driving force behind her success as the founder of RSB Solutions, LLC, a distributor of promotional products, corporate gifts, awards and branded apparel.
Rachel started her company in 2010 after a career in various service industries and the encouragement from her husband, Andy, her greatest supporter and cheerleader.
RSB Solutions is a WBENC-Certified Women Business Enterprise and targets women business owners so it made sense for Rachel to get involved in NAWBO, which she joined in April 2017 as a member of the Marketing Committee. Rachel says, “My first event was the Leadership Conference as a sponsor. The presenters offered substantive insight and knowledge and I was able to meet many dynamic NAWBO members and attendees. Attending Power Friday meetings provides a more intimate interaction.”
In addition to helping women business owners, RSB Solutions, LLC also works with Fortune 500, mid-sized and smaller companies as well as not-for-profit organizations and agencies. “We help our clients raise their visibility and get their message seen. We focus on finding the best solutions while evaluating client branding and messaging combined with the WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN and WHY of each project.”
When asked what she loves most about running her own business, Rachel said she appreciates the creativity, flexibility and control that her position allows her. She is proud of the fact that her company is enjoying an impressive new client growth rate (45%) and has a steady rate of retention, serving many of her clients with repeat business. There are also big plans to leverage the WBENC certification, especially to target governmental contracts.
An entrepreneur at heart, Rachel started her own stationary business at the young age of 8 and in high school she made clothes for her mom’s friends. In her spare time, you can find Rachel on the beach or volunteering her time for a good cause (such as Cook for a Friend and Alzheimer’s Association Delaware Valley). Rachel is also the co-chair of a fundraiser called Wine, Women & Shoes which will be on April 15, 2018 at the Merion Cricket Club in Haverford. She also loves to play cards and games.
