Lauriano Carujo

CEO Bordado Inovador

BIOGRAPHY

Hello, I’m Lauriano, I’m 30 years old and I’m from Alentejo. While working on behalf of others began to awaken in me the interest in Undertake, did not know how, but knew why.
Because I wanted more money, more time and more freedom.
It was then with 25 years that I took the leap of faith and started my brand “Embroidery Innovative”.
Over time I realized that in my traditional business I always had to exchange my time for money.
Until March 2020 came a pandemic, and it was in this period of recession that I saw the opportunity to work online and remotely.
This was my moment.
The turning point in my life, for the first time I had contact with a strategy that I fell in love with and that today allows me to have geographical and time freedom.
I’m in continuous improvement mode and traveling more and more which is wonderful.
What I found is that to undertake is a journey full of challenges, where after all what I was looking for was not only more money, but TIME: time to do what I want, time to be with who I want and where I want.

The AmazingMadeira.com project was created by the Founder Sandra Rodrigues about 6 years after finishing her Degree in Hotel Management in the city of Porto.

Sandra Rodrigues has a special fondness for the experience she started at the age of 18 at the famous Sheraton Porto Hotel & SPA, where she worked in various departments and acquired precious knowledge.

The company AmazingMadeira.com was created with a detailed vision of all the surroundings and functioning to be applied in the project.

Our differential is first and foremost the customization of service, as our main focus is the contact we have with our customers (property owners) and likewise with guests as well.

Proof that we do an excellent job are the scores given by guests on the various international accommodation platforms.

All fields are evaluated from the property itself, cleaning, staff among others and we always get the highest evaluations in all fields.

Our client portfolio includes some Madeirans, but 50% of our Company is made up of properties whose owners reside in Lisbon, France, United Kingdom, Australia and Singapore.

Interestingly, some of these owners were once guests in a property managed by us and were won over by the care, professionalism and attention with which they were received, so when they decided to invest in real estate on Madeira Island, they chose AmazingMadeira.com to represent them.

We are experts in commercial organization, in controlling reservations, in productivity, in the art of hospitality, in communication and in face-to-face and online monitoring.

Our great success is in the team spirit we have and the work environment we provide to our employees, we have a happy, enterprising, energetic, diligent and proactive team and this is reflected in the art of welcoming a guest.

In short, we allow our customers to have quality of life, have time to do what they like and not worry or waste time with the management, operation and maintenance of their properties.

Anna Shcherbyna

Ceo Remotivate

BIOGRAPHY

CEOs and founders, the secret to doubling, or even tripling the amount of work you get done in a day without having to work extra hours

Is to have someone that you can trust to take half of your work and manage it just as well as you would.
Consistently. Over the long term.

Here’s the thing:
Most businesses are able to scale to sizable revenue with a fairly lean team before they end up plateauing.

The reason for the plateau? The business owners themselves!

They hire out for low-level tasks and for specialist roles. Maybe they also have some middle management.

But, they still end up having to manage several people:

– Everyone reports to them
– They need to keep a tab on all the work that’s happening in the business
– They need to STAY involved with every department: sales, fulfillment, hiring, finance

And this SUCKS their time and energy.

If you could replicate yourself, you would have 48 hrs in a day!

That is EXACTLY what we, at Remotivate, help you to accomplish.

We help you find remote A-Players who will lead, manage and grow your business with the same passion as you do – without you needing to be involved with the tiniest of details.

Here’s what a business owner had to say about an Account Manager Remotivate found them:

“The company struggled a lot during the pandemic, but Doria (the AM Remotivate helped them hire) was so essential, she was almost the last employee standing because they loved her so much and the AMAZING work she did for clients.”

Another example of how the A-Players we find our clients have impacted growth:


SearchTides went from 2 founders and a lean team, to hiring an incredible Head of Operations who took over recruitment (hired 70+ new staff members in the last year), built out processes/systems throughout the company, and delegated those to newly hired managers to continue maintaining those systems.

Your business could experience similar growth.
You could end up with the freedom to work less and still accomplish more.
You’d have more time and a smoother running business.

All you need is the right person to join your team.
