“If you don’t have SOPs in place, then you are not ready to hire an employee. Because, even if you hire a rockstar from whatever they were doing, inherently things are going to be different at your company than wherever they were before.”
“Spend as much time differentiating yourself as an employer as you do as a company on the sales side. You should spend as much time doing it, and maybe even more, on the employee side because the employees will drive your business more than your differentiation on the sales side will.”
“Treat your job postings like you would treat marketing copy or a sales script .”
“Statistically, 67% of people look for a new job within 6 months of starting their job. So if you got them to stick around for a year and they are exceeding whatever targets you put on, that would, to me, be a success.”
“Even if you’re not a salesperson or marketer, read the job description and say, “Would I buy this position?” And if you wouldn’t, change it.”
