When you think about payroll, it is certainly an important part of your business. But what are some of the pitfalls and traps you should be aware of? John Bacon, President of PayThrive stops by to teach us about how this important aspect of running your business isn't as scary as it might sound but provides us with insight into what we should be doing right now. Bio: John S. Bacon is the president & founder of PayThrive. He was born & raised in the Detroit metro area & moved to Colorado in 2004. He currently live in the Metro Denver area with my wife and daughter. He worked briefly in the supplemental benefits space & was a group health insurance broker for a time. He then became an independent sales representative in the payroll / HCM industry, forming his own consulting company in September of 2006. Being independent & a business owner gave him a unique perspective because most industry sales professionals were employee or ‘captive’ salespeople. He saw an opportunity to disrupt this dysfunction & empower the client with choices. Small to medium sized businesses needed more options & better advice when seeking a new payroll vendor. He wanted to increase candor & reduce conflict of interest – something that would benefit the industry & clients both. He truly felt that clients would greatly value this approach & see it as liberation. This was the genesis of the PayThrive business model. PayThrive was born, with Human Capital Gains, Realized. They now independently represent 25 different service providers in Colorado & across the country- from Pacific to Eastern time. They represent all the different service levels, from small business payroll to single-database HCM, up to PEO's.
