Joel Adelman willed his way to business success

Joel Adelman knew what the skeptics were saying. He had heard what people thought of his plan to launch a business in the payroll funding industry for temporary staffing firms. But it only served to make him even more committed to make his vision a reality.
Adelman had done his research and he saw the lack of entrepreneurial energy in the industry. But he also saw profitability and opportunity. There was no dominant supplier and a fragmented pool of at least 8,000 prospective staffing firm customers.
Adelman proceeded cautiously but with a high level of determination. He wanted to build a business in Advance Payroll Funding Ltd. that was oriented around the partnership principle.
As CEO, he wanted Advance to grow, but he didn’t want it to do so at the expense of his clients. His motto of “Entrepreneurs serving entrepreneurs” emphasized this idea of doing what he could to make sure his clients were growing, too.
Another key to success was his ability to develop innovative solutions to help clients deal with their issues, including tax credit processing, insurance services and merger/acquisition support. He would also provide marketing services to assist clients with website development, social media campaigns and brand identity, allowing them to focus on their core activities of selling and recruiting.
Adelman knew he couldn’t do it alone, so he has focused on expanding his leadership team and putting people in positions to help continue growing the business. In 2010, he promoted his COO to president so he could stay focused on client growth.
By always keeping his eye on the future and the needs of his business, Adelman has positioned Advance to continue serving its clients at an exceedingly high level.
