Samantha Bond Richman has been advising business owners on the merits of outsourcing since 1990. Samantha worked to establish herself as a solid producer of business relationships with new introductions that were frequently fueled by satisfied client referral. She impressed her employers, and was invited to purchase limited stock ownership, and when the PEO company (then known as employee leasing) she worked for was sold, she went into business as an independent advisor. Her first company, S.B. Recommend was formed in 2002.
