Our founder and CEO, Abbas Mohammed, recently sat down with Claus Lauter on the Ecommerce Coffee Break Podcast – a top-rated business podcast trusted by more than 50,000 online sellers, e-commerce operators, and DTC brand owners. In episode #489, “How Small Businesses Can Scale Rapidly By Delegating Tasks,” Abbas shares the hiring philosophy that took Remote Leverage from zero to $1.5M/month in under two years – and how any founder can apply it.
Most e-commerce founders think they have a traffic problem. In reality, many of them have a time problem. They spend their days answering customer emails, managing operations, and putting out fires – and somewhere along the way, they become the very thing holding their business back.
As Abbas explains in the episode, the belief that “no one can do this better than I can” is one of the most expensive assumptions a founder can make. In most cases, it simply means they haven’t yet seen what world-class talent looks like. When Abbas launched Remote Leverage, one of his first pivotal hires was a marketer with far more experience than the business “deserved” at the time – a decision that let the company buy a decade of expertise instead of spending a decade building it.
Abbas and Claus cover the practical side of building a remote support team, including:
Hosted by Claus Lauter, the Ecommerce Coffee Break features weekly interviews with e-commerce and marketing experts on what’s working right now across Shopify, Amazon, and beyond. With over 500 free episodes, it’s one of the most practical, no-fluff resources for online sellers looking to grow.
Remote Leverage is a U.S.-based company helping businesses build and manage exceptional global teams. Our own team consists of 120+ team members spanning Latin America, Europe, and Asia, representing over 25 countries. Diversity is the foundation of how we work.
We’re the all-in-one partner for hiring globally. We start by finding the right people: our recruiting team sources, vets, and matches top remote talent to roles that fit each client’s specific needs. From there, we handle everything that comes next — onboarding, payments, contracts, compliance, and the day-to-day support that keeps distributed teams running. One partner, one invoice, one point of contact for the entire lifecycle.
That end-to-end model is the difference. Most companies stitch together a recruiter, a payments provider, a contractor-of-record, and an HR platform to make global hiring work. We replace all of it. Our clients get the people they need and the infrastructure to keep them, without managing four vendors to get there.
But our work isn’t just about filling roles. We believe great talent exists everywhere, and that the right opportunity can change a career. Every placement we make is an investment in two outcomes: a business that grows with confidence, and a professional who builds a meaningful, long-term career — wherever they are in the world.
That’s the leverage we’re after.
