But what if you could grow your team effortlessly? My Own Staff helps businesses save time, cut costs, and scale by building custom, high-performing offshore teams based in the Philippines, with savings of up to 70% vs. on-shore staff. “A misconception about outsourcing is that it sacri ices quality, communication or control for cost savings,” says CEO Christian Stephens. “Many still picture outsourcing as a disconnected, offshore operation with limited visibility, language barriers or rigid structures.” Stephens is changing that perception by offering a modern, people- irst approach, blending cost ef iciency with high-quality talent and seamless integration. “Our team becomes an extension of your business, aligned with your time zone, luent in English and embedded in your work lows and culture,” Stephens says. “Because we focus on long-term partnerships, not one-size- its-all solutions, our clients experience better retention and accountability.” How The Process Works Distributors and suppliers face pressure to stay competitive, respond quickly and manage costs while maintaining high service standards. Now, My Own Staff steps in. “We don’t pull from a bullpen and make people it,” Stephens says. “We review your job description, then screen hundreds of candidates and send you the top candidates for inal interviews. You pick the best candidate and we hire them. We match your real needs with the right talent.” Whether it’s order processing, artwork coordination, customer service, accounting or back-of ice support, My Own Staff’s team is trained to understand promotional product business work lows. “Our clients expand their team with loyal, capable professionals who care about their business as much as they do,” Stephens says. “We help manage these employees so they stay on task and hit KPIs.” My Own Staff facilitates a seven-to10-day hiring process. “There are no long-term contracts or hidden fees,” Stephens says. “Clients can scale without the headaches of hiring, HR, compliance or data security.” Stephens focuses on the Philippines because it offers one of the strongest, most reliable talent pools for U.S. businesses. “The country has a deep bench of skilled professionals across a wide range of roles,” he says. “They align with U.S. business values like accountability, teamwork and a service mindset.” A Total Transformation When clients bring on their irst offshore hires through My Own Staff, the transformation is fast and impactful. Among the success stories Stephens references is Anchortree Capital, a inancial irm. Anchortree, which helps clients invest in tax-deferred assets, saw its sales pipeline dry up, leading to layoffs. After partnering with My Own Staff, Anchortree hired three sales development representatives at the cost of one in-house rep. Within months, its lead pipeline grew by 63%. The irm rehired and expanded its sales team, eliminating advertising. “My advice is: Take the irst step,” Stephens says. “We’re a family-owned business, facing the same challenges. The only difference is that I’ve igured out how to solve those pain points.” “Our clients are surprised by how seamless it feels and how quickly they see results,” he adds. “This frees your team to focus on high-value work that moves your business forward. For many, what starts with hiring one offshore team member grows into building entire departments with us. It’s not just outsourcing – it’s a smarter way to grow.” Book your free consultation: MyOwnStaff.com. Christian Stephens PPAI • SEPTEMBER 2025 • 49
