Paul Rusheleau
Renfrew 

Paul spent his summer ‘cooling down’ customers by selling freezies, drinks and iced coffee from a structure resembling an ice-fishing shack.

In operating his business, Paul learned the importance of excellent customer service, as “in retail or any customer service job it is essential to be a good talker and to portray a good image for you and your business.” This excellent customer service, combined with great products at competitive prices, helped Paul attract many customers and successfully compete in the local market.

Paul’s self confidence also increased as a result of meeting and talking to many customers over the summer. Having well surpassed sales forecasts,

Paul hopes to be able to build on this summer’s successes and continue to enjoy the benefits of being his own boss in future pursuits. 2006+
