Sam and Phil tackle the ongoing challenge of hiring and recruitment, from feeling stretched too thin and hitting financial ceilings, to making key decisions about when and who to recruit to enable growth.

Some key takeaways:

➡️ Recruitment is often the answer when your estate agency hits a ceiling or the owner is overwhelmed.
➡️ Building a future-focused Org chart helps clarify hiring needs and unlock the next stage of business growth.
➡️ Investing time in recruitment—even when it feels impossible—prevents bottlenecks and prepares your agency for opportunity.

Some great moments:

✅ “As soon as you drop down to a level that is paid less than you want to take as a salary, you’re costing your business the opportunities that you would create otherwise.”
✅ “If you don’t have time to recruit, it’s because you didn’t recruit when you were supposed to recruit. The best time to recruit is right now.”
✅ “No successful business ever has one person bank access ever. That will definitely slow you down.”
