About

Jeannine ClontzJeannine Clontz, president of Clontz Business Services, LLC , started her Virtual Assistance (VA) practice in August of 1998.  As her business evolved she specialized in marketing and social media support to small business owners, entrepreneurs and solopreneurs, nationwide.  By 2001, Clontz realized she was at capacity and in order to grow beyond her individual capabilities, she would need to put a team of sub-contractors in place to expand her business further.

Over the years, through Clontz’ extensive volunteer efforts within the VA industry, she has been able to build an experienced team of subs that share her business style, personality, and most importantly business ethics.   Each team member has the highest level of expertise and knowledge to improve their client’s productivity and workflow and increase their business success.

Clontz is an author, international speaker and virtual assistant coach, giving her a unique perspective in supporting the needs of her clientele in the areas of marketing and social media.  She is at the cutting edge of the latest technologies and utilizes them to propel her own business, as well as, those of her clients, bringing a vast array of solutions to fit every need.

An avid volunteer and mentor, Clontz has received numerous awards, most recently the 2009 Small Business Administration’s (SBA.gov) Home-Based Business Champion for the St. Louis Region, the 2009 National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) St. Louis Member of the Year, and the 2009 Thomas Leonard International Virtual Assistant of Distinction.
