  • What is your "why"? Why do you do what you do?
    I joined Insperity in September 2020 to truly support small/medium size businesses & nonprofits to help them succeed, so my community can prosper. My mom was a social worker for over 30 years, and she has the best heart I have ever known. I chose to become a Business Performance Advisor, because I have learned from my mom's experience that providing people with the dignity of a job is one of the greatest things you can do to help a person. If small/medium size businesses thrive in my community, the entire community will thrive. I have built my book of business on referrals & relationships throughout my career. As a BPA, I want to be a trusted advisor, guide, coach & mentor to America's best small/medium sized businesses & organizations. I have also spent the majority of my community involvement & volunteer hours of my professional life committed to helping our military Veterans & their families while they transition from military into civilian careers/life. Insperity has a long history of philanthropy across America with a main pillar of it's giving focused on military Veterans & their families - very special connection.

  • Describe your perfect referral
    Here’s a short video about “My Ideal Referral” (Business Owner, Entrepreneur, Nonprofit Leader, C-Suite Exec, HR Manager, etc):
    ( Video Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTwaK_jqYsw ) My ideal client truly cares about their most important asset...their people. They understand the need to focus on revenue generating activity, and get out of the time draining HR admin/compliance side of the business/organization. They are a Premium buyer, and want to implement cost containment for stability & budgeting/planning purposes. Their business has sound business practices, are profitable and looking to go from Good to Great (J. Collins).

    We can help small/medium businesses in most industries ranging from professional services (engineering, accounting, law, marketing), medical practices, finance, IT/Computer, Management, Consulting, Manufacturing, Wholesale trade, Retail, Construction. Best fit for core referrals have between 5 FT W-2 employees on up to 150 FT W-2 employees, but we have an amazing Middle Market Division (been around for over a decade) to service clients with 150+ up to 5,000+ FT W-2 employees for our flagship solution "Co-Employment".

  • Describe How You Would Like To Be Introduced Via Email
    I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce you to Sam Kelner, who is a Business Performance Advisor with Insperity. I don’t know if your (insert company/organization name) is in need of Insperity’s services currently, but I do believe you both should to get to know one another. Sam works with small/medium size business owners (nonprofit leaders) like you to ultimately drive increased revenue, by managing their risk, improving their productivity and cost containment strategies. I told Sam that you are a leader whom I have great respect for and think you all should connect. I will let you both take it from here.
