More Than Just Task Management

When you’re starting a business, you do it all, but at some point, hiring becomes inevitable. The big question is: what’s the first role you should hire for?

In today’s episode, Anna Angelova and Jores Minasvand unpack the truth behind this decision and why there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. They share real examples, including how to calculate ROI for any hire, which roles can have the biggest impact early on, and why sometimes the smartest move is hiring for sales or marketing right out of the gate.

You’ll learn:

How to decide based on ROI, not guesswork

Why freeing up your energy can be just as valuable as freeing up your time

The difference between outsourcing, part-time, and full-time hires

How commission-based sales roles can kickstart growth without draining cash

The risks of hiring before you’ve run the numbers

Whether you’re on the verge of your first hire or still in the planning phase, this episode will help you make a decision that fuels growth, not just your to-do list.
