Brief us about Remote Team Solutions.
Remote Team Solutions Focuses on Building Great Teams for Great Companies helping companies save more than 60% on employee wage and benefit costs while eliminating the time and resource burden of active employee management and reducing employee turnover rate.
Seeing how our USA clients from the other companies needed to hire big teams for their growing business, but didn’t have the budget, time, or talent, we got together to try to see the way to help them. They wanted to offshore their teams, but they demanded the same time zone, same culture, and high-quality motivated talent with low turnover rate, and didn’t want to have to fly for more than 15 hours in case they need to see their team or bring a team member to their offices.
They wanted a company that would treat their staff like they would do. After several meetings and research, we decided that Mexico was the place to have their teams, and we went on to try to find a company that could do this for them. After a long search for the right company, we discover that none meet the demands; so, we decided to help them and start our own company, Remote Team Solutions. We started with just a few customers from our other businesses and quickly started growing.
What are the key challenges you tackled while establishing Remote Team Solutions?
In the beginning, our first clients were a bit skeptical of nearshoring their staff to a company in Mexico. Therefore, one of our key challenges was to become trustworthy for the USA clients.
How have Remote Team Solutions’ graphs changed since the foundation?
Remote Team Solutions has been growing double digits each year.
What are the products and services Remote Team Solutions focuses on? How are your services different from those in the market?
The main service is staffing process; we help our clients build and staff their teams. Our differentiation is quality, service, and added value. We thrive on giving excellent service to our clients; each day, we see how we can add more value. We have an IT, HR, and Talent Develop department who work with our clients to make sure their staff grows with them.
We also staff their team in our state-of-the-art facility. The quality of our talent is the best; we make sure they are motivated and happy working for the client. We tailor each service specially to our client’s needs and we can build the team our clients require not just IT, Virtual Assistant, etcetera; we have more than 100 positions.

How do you define leadership? How do you empower your workforce?
A leader empowers his or her team to grow and is there to help their team achieve the best results. The leader should always inspire confidence and catalyze a clear and shared vision for the company and move his team to action. He needs to always listen to his team to understand their needs and get his team to do what must be done.
To empower your team, you need to trust them and let them know that they can make mistakes; that is the most important thing. There should always be KPI or OKR in place and a shared vision so that the team knows precisely what is expected from them and let them act and take responsibility.
What are the key achievements of your business journey?
One of our best achievements is being recommended by our own clients; many new clients come from referrals of our current clients, which means that they are delighted with our services. Other achievements are all the awards we have won; last year we won 10 awards from 6 different companies
