Featured Member Illinois Business Systems


Illinois Business Systems is one of the newest members of the Lombard Chamber, having joined just this past March. President, Rick Mytnik, describes himself as a promoter of the image of his company. He sells “the company” not “the product” by being an Evangelist/Chief Marketer. In the 2 ½ years since he created Illinois Business Systems, he has transitioned it to a 21st century company, and won’t consider his work finished until he has a 100% saturation of the local area. He believes that his company is the best for every business. What makes them different is they do not simply sell copiers. They provide service, support, supplies and products designed to help clients run their business more effectively. He is very proud of the fact that “a live body answers all of our customer calls, not an automated voice system”.

Rick has been in the office equipment industry for the past 30+years, and was finally in a position to open his own company and develop better business sources for his clients. His favorite part of the job is the team building and strategies that he has implemented and then seeing the plans come to fruition. He believes that the growth of the company belongs to all of his staff, not just him as an individual. Rick is not fond of keeping track of the “nitty gritty” details, and would rather work on the business, rather than in the business. He sees small businesses getting caught in the stress and crunch of the economy, and would like to help.

Rick’s day is a busy one that generally begins around 7 am with a strategic networking or leads group. He belongs to no less than 6 of these types of groups, as well as 2 owners groups and a number of Chambers of Commerce. By being a part of all of these groups, he can reach approximately 240 people per week to tell his story. Rick also goes on sales calls, meets with vendors, lawyers and other sales reps. Rick will tell you that he thinks Illinois Business Systems is a well kept secret. They are customer oriented, and treat the client the way they would like to be treated.

Rick lives in Batavia, and has 3 daughters. He admits that he is a “terrible loser” and is very competitive, especially when it comes to sports. “If the sport has a ball, I’m a fan”. Illinois Business Systems sales territory covers Cook, Du Page and Kane counties. Their customer base is composed of a mixture of commercial accounts, municipalities, churches and schools.
