Experience Pays for New Partners’ Clientele

Kelly Pastore and Lynne Pietrzyk, both of Fort Myers, recently announced their partnership in Simple Solutions Concierge, LLC. "We feel we are in the right place at the right time to assist busy professionals as they struggle to balance their lives"

Pastore should know. Having been a resident of Fort Myers, she has over 20 years of hospitality and travel industry experience in resort settings. Most recently Pastore was responsible for Guest Satisfaction in the Rooms Division, as well as the Spa and Fitness Center, with Sanibel Harbour Resort & Spa, a AAA Four-Diamond Resort. “Given my background in guest services, recreation, time management, and my previous career as a retail fashion buyer, it seemed only natural that I start a business so I can now provide similar solutions to other busy professionals.”

Kelly is not alone, however in applying her experience and expertise to our market. Her business partner is Lynne Pietrzyk, a veteran of the Southwest Florida landscape. “As varied as it was, my experience over the last 20 years was preparing me for something, and as soon as Kelly and I developed Simple Solutions Concierge, LLC, I knew it was my calling!” Pietrzyk’s experience is truly varied, but also relevant. Pietrzyk came to Southwest Florida in 1990 as concierge and trainer for Sanibel Harbour Resort until 1994 when she was given the opportunity to start the Pelican Landing Community Association from the ground floor. That experience over the next five years led Pietrzyk into real estate and she served as a custom design representative for Shadow Wood Preserve. “More recently, though, as I helped my husband open his business, Tour Greens, I found that I had honed my time saving and organizational skills to a level that I could share with others,” says Pietrzyk.

A Business Edge - Simple Solutions Concierge, LLC

In today’s challenging employee environment, Southwest Florida businesses are constantly searching for advantages in worker attraction and retention. Increasingly, benefits like employer-paid time off, healthcare, and flex time have become the norm, reducing their effectiveness as motivators in an employee’s decision to stay or go.

However, one local company thinks they have the perfect solution to businesses wanting to offer a unique benefit that will increase employee satisfaction and productivity. Simple Solutions Concierge, LLC works with local employers to create a custom benefit package that addresses the number one reason most people come to Southwest Florida – Quality of Life. According to Entrepreneur Magazine, “Some companies have found that their employees are putting in so much overtime and working such long hours that they don't have enough hours left in the day to attend to personal business. Employers in certain fields…have found that offering help to their time-stretched employees can boost productivity, making this a workplace perk that benefits the business as well as the workers. For this reason, more employers are offering personal concierge services to their employees.”

Historically, concierge services in the United States have been associated with fine hotels and have developed a connotation of luxury and excess. However, “The idea that a person can outsource their time-consuming personal errands to make room for family, friends, and self makes more and more sense to a large percentage of modern professionals,” notes Simple Solutions Concierge, LLC owner/partner Kelly Pastore, who adds, “Companies who realize their employees are stretched for time find Simple Solutions Concierge is a morale boosting perk that keeps their workers minds on the job, instead of getting home to wait for the cable guy or picking up a birthday cake before the bakery closes.”
