About Us
Located in the middle of the Chiwaukee Prairie, Pleasant
Prairie, Wisconsin, Prairie Business Partners LLC got its
start when Gretchen Koehler-Swaney, Owner, decided to
create a company with the vision of bringing back individual
service to this auto-reply world while being able to provide
outsourcing services to Small and Medium-sized companies
as well as Corporate Travelers. Prairie Business Partners
LLC achieves personal service through technology as a
Virtual Assistant Company.
Gretchen has always been very inquisitive asking questions
about current business trends in order to gain a better
understanding about decisions being made that impact our
economy, business and ultimately our lives. With the new
trends towards outsourcing and offshoring, Gretchen
wondered why we assume that offshoring will save us money
especially considering infrastructure, security, and time
difference? What if we were to outsource locally in the US?
Why don't we outsource to small towns in the US where the
cost of living is cheaper than larger cities? Certainly we can
invest in the US just a fraction of the cost spent overseas
building large corporate campuses (and the IT
infrastructure and physical security involved) to realize a
much larger return. What will companies get in return?
Dedicated workers with relatively low turn over working in
an entrepreneurial atmosphere for a fraction of the latency,
no language barrier, and with a significantly lower security
risk.
With this in mind, Gretchen has started Prairie Business
Partners LLC with the desire to promote outsourcing
Administrative Services to small towns where there is an
abundance of dedicated hardworking individuals ready to
take on anything.
Gretchen's corporate career began with US Department of
Defense Contracting and US Navy Logistics. Desktop
Publishing soon became her life as she managed the team
documenting the National Weather Service System and
then US and International Postal Services Systems as well
as Government Proposals. Project Management played a
large part of her career and she is certified in two
methodologies.
Gretchen is a member with the Kenosha Women's Network,
is a member of the Kenosha Area Chamber of Commerce,
and the Carol Beach Property Owner's Association.
