Thank you Tina Kaufman at Insperity for your comprehensive HR and benefit guidance with my client. As a start-up business, they did not know what they did not know. Walking them through the basic needs and legal requirements as they begin hiring new people will help them be competitive and successful.

Jay McDowell, MBA, President of Performance Strategies and Host of All Cities Network Santa Ana, referred my online marketing company to the owner of a spa with two locations in the South Bay. Jay McDowell helps business owners increase revenue and profit, manage costs, and build high performing teams. The spa owner is experiencing a decline in sales because of increased competition. Jay prepared the spa owner for my call and positioned my company in a favorable light, so much so that she is open to my suggestions and advice. The spa owner and I will be working together within her budget to design marketing and sales campaigns to increase business. Thank you very much, Jay, for putting in the extra effort on my behalf. You are a class act!

I would like to thank Jeff Cristol of Fit Right Financial for referring a a potential client to me, whose company does business all over the world. Helping our clients navigate the challenges of working in multiple currencies is one of our many specialties.

Thank you to Stephen Strocker of AFLAC! Last year he went out of his way to help me set up two policies with AFLAC (which pays YOU in case of life-altering health events). One of the benefits is that they also pay you to take care of yourself. In spite of the fact that I don't have to pay for my well-woman annual exams/screenings, AFLAC pays me bonuses for doing the screenings. Stephen was also wonderful in helping me set up my online account so I could apply for the bonuses.

I want to thank Michael Lipton of TPx Communications for referring me to a friend of his who is starting a wine importing business and needs to make payments in foreign currencies. I appreciate the vote of confidence Michael, and look forward to saving your friend a lot of money on the cost of the currencies he sends, and by eliminating fees for him.
