Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Guillaume Le Courtois. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Guillaume, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Before we get into specifics, let’s talk about success more generally. What do you think it takes to be successful?
Being successful is probably not such an easy thing to become overnight. The real question for me is “Am I successful Daily”‘?
With a background in Art i feel the creativity surrounding me all the time which is definitely important for Litllebeam nursing pillow brand. Being able to choose the right color or design for our covers is key in the matter of pleasing our customers on the long run.
The attention to details on our pillows and put the customers on high priority is crucial, i like to put myself in their shoes, be there for them prior the sale, share the full functionality of the nursing pillow with the help of Lactation experts, and follow up after the shipping to hear if there is anything Littlebeam team can do to accompany them on their journey to feed their babies the most comfortable way possible.
Guillaume, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
Dr. McCue, an experienced pediatrician, combined her medical lactation expertise to design a pillow that would address the specific needs of nursing mothers. The Littlebeam Nursing Pillow was thoughtfully crafted to provide optimal support for both mother and baby during breastfeeding sessions. Its unique memory shape, made of soft, hypoallergenic materials, offered exceptional comfort while promoting proper positioning and latch.
Today, the Littlebeam Nursing Pillow is a symbol of comfort, support, and empowerment for breastfeeding mothers everywhere. it has created a lasting legacy in the lactation community. The Littlebeam Nursing Pillow continues to play an essential role in helping mothers establish a strong and fulfilling breastfeeding bond with their babies.
Guillaume Le Courtois, an art expert, international business consultant and avid traveler who wholeheartedly believed in her mission regarding breastfeeding mothers. Recognizing the demands of management of Littlebeam Nursing Pillow and the lactation cabinet, Guillaume Le Courtois stepped up and fully took charge of Littlebeam Company as the new CEO.
Can you talk to us about manufacturing? How’d you figure it all out? We’d love to hear the story.
Manufacturing our product is key for littlebeam nursing pillows, originally the small factory was based in Florida while the headquarter is actually in Maryland. The process was already established, once i took it over i just changed few technical aspects to make it faster, also more durable.
Having all the different materials needed for the manufacturing come from Michigan, Virginia and Florida it became important to have all the materials regrouped in one building to be able to follow the process from start to finish.
Quality control has always be the top priority for Littlebeam since its proudly made in USA 100%.
the Production line itself was a little slow on my opinion due to the transfer of goods and unexpected delay sometimes.
Working hand to hand and with full trust along the path with our production worker is also a major win, i am very empathetic and understand the position in which ever is. I like to consider that littlebeam team is an extended familly.
Manufacturing a product is not an easy task with all the mandatory regulations but with organization, envy to create an amazing product, and the help of professionals the daily tasks seems flawless.
Where do you think you get most of your clients from?
The best source of new clients for Littlebeam has been threw Lactation consultants all around North America that trusted our Nursing pillows, some shows and venue every year in New york city but also like Metropolitan Breastfeeding based in DC area that recommend our product to their customers for the best support during the feeding of their Babies. Of course, the online presence is essential to be able to send our Nursing pillows as we do already into the USA Hawaii included(lol) but also to Sweden, Germany, Canada, Belgium…
We also have different type of Prenatal or high-end gift shops that sell our Littlebeam pillows mainly on the East coast at the moment.
