Episode 395: Why a Better Team Means Bigger Profits In Your Pet Business


Listen Later

Do you want a pet business that makes money without running you into the ground? What’s the difference between a business that grows efficiently—and one that just gets busier? And how can better systems set you free while boosting your bottom line? In this episode, I’m joined by Josh Hightower, who shares how pet business owners can create a scalable, automated hiring funnel that attracts, qualifies, and converts great staff. Josh explains how to treat hiring like a sales process—complete with lead magnets, automation, and pre-qualification steps that save you hours and help you avoid bad hires. But before all that, Eve Molzhon shares how she manages five virtual assistants across multiple businesses, including the key roles they play and how she structures her internal support system. We also hear from Brian Hahn, who reveals how the CliftonStrengths framework can help you build a stronger, more cohesive team. Brian explains how identifying and working with your staff’s strengths can boost motivation, reduce conflict, and improve overall performance - starting with understanding your own. In this episode, you’ll discover:

  • Turn Your Hiring into a Funnel – Josh explains how to build a hiring process that mirrors a marketing funnel, using automation, filtering steps, and smart follow-up to attract and retain quality applicants.
  • Stop Wasting Time on Unqualified Candidates – By pre-qualifying applicants early with video submissions and assessments, you can avoid interviews with the wrong people and only focus on the best fits.
  • Use VAs to Strengthen Your Team – Eve shares how she effectively uses virtual assistants to take admin off her plate and allow her to lead more strategically.
  • Understand and Use Your Strengths – Brian Hahn shows how understanding your own leadership style and your team’s individual strengths can lead to better communication and stronger culture.
  • Staffing Success Starts with You – Across all three interviews, the message is clear: if you want a great team, it starts with clear systems, intentional leadership, and a willingness to step back from the day-to-day chaos.
