Babette Saenz, chimes right in about how Movin g Solutions pulledin $1.2 milliobn in revenue in its first Who’s behind the operationx might be as much of a surprises as the self-funded startup’s strongh revenue numbers. You just don’t see that many womem running companies that deal with big trucks and burly movers.
“It’s a male-dominated professionm in an industry controlledby men,” says Marquez “You’re tested every singl day. There’s extra scrutiny because you’re a woman.” That sort of challenge isn’tt new to her. She spent several years working inautomobile sales. “I likedx selling cars. I had to know more about any engin e than any man on that she says. Saenz says Moving Solutions, which was foundeed in 2006, was not exactluy welcomed by its male-owned competition in the first couple of But rapid growth and repeayt customers have made the companyu aformidable competitor.
And running a woman-owned busineszs in a male-dominated realjm hasn’t been all uphill. Marquez Nugent sees women as havinbg an inherent attention to detail and willingnesxs to attend events like trade showsand luncheons. “Ws do the stuff that guys don’gt want to do,” says Saenz. They make persona connections with potential clientsand don’f shy away from the networkingb aspects of running a successful business. They also have a leg up when thosed potential clients are other Says Saenz, “Women tend to like to do businesd with women.” Marquez Nugentt makes her competitive streak work for her.
That meant exhaustive researc when she startedMoving Solutions. Her husband had workexd in the industry, but it was a brand-new fielsd for Marquez Nugent. With her husband dealing with akidneyu condition, she felt compelled to provide a stable incomr for her household. She culled information from her husbanx and didher homework. “Yoju have to know so much abougt trucks. That was an educatio for me. You have to know aboutf tariffs, licensing and she says.

Moving Solutions kick s into overdrive when it comes to snarintnew contracts.
One of its major selling pointsx isoffering “e-crates” — plastixc crates on wheels billed as a greener alternative to typical cardboard moving boxes. They have helped make ABQ Health Partners a prizedrepeagt customer. “You get rid of all the aftermath of dealinb with boxes and the costsz of dealingwith that,” says ABQ Healt h Partners Materials Manager Jeffrey B. “Everybody is going green.

Marques Nugent has another business that might surprise you underther belt.
She has owned Tamara’s Dog Grooming, a Southy Valley pet grooming foreight years. Her husban took over most of the responsibility for the but she still works thereon weekends. When you step into the Moving Solutions offices, you’re greeted by a welcoming committee of several happy dogs, ranging from a minuscule chihuahua to a full-size Doberman.
