A word with the CEO

Throughout its youthful existence as a start-up company, PEO Spectrum has experienced great success. What are the main factors you attribute to this success?

Like many other start-up stories, the most important attribute to PEO Spectrum's success has to do with the present needs in the marketplace, and how we've been able to meet those needs head-on. 

PEOs deliver a powerful value proposition; they increase business efficiency, provide stronger benefit packages for employees, and reduce employer liabilities in an increasingly regulated sector. However in most parts of the country industry penetration is still below 1%. This is largely due to the complexity of the PEO's offering and the learning curve associated with understanding it.

PEO Spectrum provides businesses with an unbiased resource to learn about PEOs in a pressure-free environment. By being a third party, we have but one allegiance, the client. This is something a business owner won’t get when dealing with a direct salesperson.

Why would a business owner deal with PEO Spectrum instead of going directly to a PEO?

There are several compelling reasons, and each is a natural result of how we‘re changing the status quo methodology of how companies shop for vendors – we are a non-direct sales organization.

Representating multiple PEOs allows us to provide unbiased consultation, negotiate the best prices, and aggregate market information for our clients' use.

We also streamline the buying process, drastically cutting the time commitment for a thorough vendor analysis.

Is PEO Spectrum’s service really free for businesses looking for a PEO?

Yes, PEO Spectrum's service to our clients is absolutely free, they are never obligated to compensate us in any way for what we provide.

We are compensated by our network of PEOs. We provide them an alternative sales channel to utilize in addition to their current sales force.
