As a Professional Business Consultant for Payroll Consultants (PC), Samantha (Sam) Stafford possesses a wealth of business expertise and has a passion for her vocation helping business owners find answers to the many questions that arise and solutions to the challenges that they face. Since 2003, Sam’s clients have been experiencing outstanding results, with better business decisions and increased confidence because of her services at PC, a company that has been helping the business community for over 20 years with needs ranging from Insurance, Payroll, and Employee Benefits to PEO Services and much more.
With a strong commitment to ethics and expertise, Sam challenges herself every day to be better and better at serving clients. She has cultivated an important alliance with co-worker, Victor Sofia, a senior business consultant and an expert in all aspects of the business, to combine their strengths and skills to successfully serve a diverse group of clients (start-ups, entrepreneurs, small, medium, and large businesses, local and nationwide), with wide ranging challenges, in the most effective and efficient manner. Working together, they utilize the many business resources and advanced technology available to them to develop complete, tailored strategies to meet the needs of their clients. “Clients love working with Sam, and so do I. She’s a trusted, intelligent professional, and she’s friendly, cheerful, and always ready and willing to go the extra mile to help others,” said Victor.
According to Frankie Vandeboe, owner of PC, “Sam is one of the company’s longest serving employees. She excels in everything she does and has exceedingly strong administrative, marketing, and public relations skills. No one is better at connecting with people, and she is so very passionate about helping others. She always provides top-notch customer service. Any company would be lucky to have Sam and Victor going to bat for them, and all they need to do is call.”
Sam’s other co-workers are also quick to sing her praises as a genuinely caring person, a delight, and a great human being. They describe her as “The Heart of the Company” with a tremendous amount of business knowledge and a thorough, attentive work ethic. Other comments include: “Sam is a master at all of the aspects of the business!” “She’s a dedicated person that you can always depend on, and clients recognize and appreciate that and love working with her. She never ‘drops the ball’” “She makes everyone around her better.”
“I think my biggest strength is truly caring about people. I read a quote once, and the author was unknown, and it speaks to me so much. ‘What’s your favorite place?” “I don’t have a favorite place. I have my favorite people. And, whenever I’m with my favorite people, it becomes my favorite place.’ Work doesn’t feel like work when the people feel like family. That’s how I feel about my co-workers and clients. My passion is helping people and as far as I’m concerned, everyone is a priority,” said Sam.
Sam was born in Massachusetts and was raised in Florida since the age of 8. She has two beautiful children, an eleven-year-old son, and a seven-year-old daughter. She loves watching both participate in sports and their other activities. She also enjoys good food, music and hanging out with friends and family. “My friends and family mean the world to me, and nothing brings me greater joy than being surrounded by them!”
