Business growth cannot be accomplished alone. You need to hire professionals who can help you manage the company as you expand. Who are these people who could assist you in running your business daily? What roles do they play, and what can they do to help you build a plan for your business to reach the six-figure mark? What steps do you need to follow to test the waters to see if the system will work smoothly after hiring them?

These questions will be answered in today's episode.

 

"I believe the first hire should definitely be somebody to help you do all the work; you need to hire a part-time employee, then work them up to full time, get them on payroll, get them going, somebody who can help you cut the grass, do the weed whipping blow rake the leaves, install the mulch, right?"

Why do you have to listen to today's episode?

1:12 - What should be your first hire?

2:05 - When you start small, working alone isn't bad, but when you are slowly expanding your business and leads are coming in, you do not want to be swamped with work. So you're gonna want to bring someone to join the club. Having a part-timer isn't a bad idea, then if you think that the amount of work is taking a lot from both of you, add another one and make them full-time

2:38 - The business can't function without someone to answer the phone and take incoming leads. Office personnel is crucial to the operation. If you would like a receptionist to take your calls, you can either hire an onsite receptionist to stay at your office or a virtual receptionist who can handle office activities remotely. We recommend Jills Office because they are affordable virtual administrative assistants that will help you kick-start your day professionally.

6:23 - What you'll need next is an accountant to assist you with payroll management and computation. I put down the link below for Blue Skies Bookkeeping if you want to check them out.
