Connect and convert with their own customers.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
Awesome. Tell me a little bit more about how the
company got started. I know you've been around for a
little bit over a decade. Tell me a little bit
about how you got it going back then and how
it continues to grow now.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
So PMC was founded in twenty twelve, almost thirteen years
ago by myself and Darren Tammel here at PMC. We
actually had four Darrens here. One time I go by DJ,
he's DT that we had D three and D four.
I don't know why we switched over to numbers at
some at one point, but you know, it's been amazing.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
So here we are.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
You know, thirteen years later, you know DT and I
we brought a tremendous amount of value to our clients.
We opened up the firm. We started with, you know,
house phones as our business phones and a little small,
three hundred squpt foot office with laptops we could barely afford.
And you know, it's very humbling to see how the
business has grown all these years later, where we now

(01:40):
have a staff of thirty people with four offices across
the country.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
Yeah, tell me a little bit more about that recent expansion.
I know that your main office is in East Greenwich,
but I know that you guys have already expanded and
have expanded even more around the country.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
Yeah. Well, you know, big things are happening here. We
are so excited that we just announced our geographic expansion.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
The Northeast will still remain.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
Our headquarters, which is in East Greenwich, RhE Island, but
we now expanded to well, we have a secondary office
which we've had for about three years down in West
Palm Beach, Florida. And then we also just opened up
a brand new office in Dallas, Texas, which is super
exciting that we've been working on that for about a
year now. And then about two months ago we opened

(02:23):
up our fourth office right on Wall Street in the
heart of New York City.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
Super exciting.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
Our team is there right now and it is just
exciting to see how this expansion has really given our
clients that one on one attention they need and the
different parts of the country that we service.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
That's amazing. I mean, that expansion and being able to
say that you have an office here in Rhode Island
and then also on Wall Street. I mean, that's got
to be a big thing when you're talking to people
that are a prospective client.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
Yeah, you know it is.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
You know, at PMC, we don't have a sales team
or any business development and individuals you know working for us.
We are one hundred percent referral based and we're very
blessed that we you know, we're somewhat choosy about who
we bring on board. As a client, because we want
our team to get excited about who we're going to
be partnering with. You know, when we partner with a
client here at PMC, you know they're with us for life,

(03:16):
and it's it's a very humbling opportunity when it comes
to you know, just servicing.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
We just celebrated our twenty five gay anniversary with one
of our clients.

Speaker 3 (03:25):

we have both internally with our own team and externally
with their clients.
