00:00:32,070 –> 00:00:36,840
companies have gone through the same
growth process that we’ve gone through
6
00:00:36,840 –> 00:00:41,540
you know you start out small you grow
you need certain capabilities that you
7
00:00:41,540 –> 00:00:46,610
just don’t have in-house and how do you
deal with that how do you bring that
8
00:00:46,610 –> 00:00:51,309
skill set and you hire it to you bring
in consultants do you do you hire
9
00:00:51,309 –> 00:00:55,949
another agency other companies go
through that process and we ourselves
10
00:00:55,949 –> 00:01:33,030
have gone through that process as we’ve
grown it’s an interesting thing is its
11
00:01:33,030 –> 00:01:39,810
best practice industry saying is the
best way to accomplish something and one
12
00:01:39,810 –> 00:01:45,210
of the things that’s very difficult is
to hire into a growing organization
13
00:01:45,210 –> 00:01:50,780
somebody who can encompass babe best
practice across multiple disciplines so
14
00:01:50,780 –> 00:01:54,750
if you’re talking about marketing it’s
great to hire a marketing person but are
15
00:01:54,750 –> 00:01:59,990
they a copywriter graphic artists do
they really know about
16
00:01:59,990 –> 00:02:03,630
driving partner program
17
00:02:03,630 –> 00:02:07,630
know what skill sets do they have a
maybe it’s more of a coordinator who can
18
00:02:07,630 –> 00:02:13,940
then bring in external best practice
agencies individuals as needed to
19
00:02:13,940 –> 00:02:46,769
provide their capabilities that the
business needs right people I think
20
00:02:46,769 –> 00:03:08,450
goals and milestones along that journey
your target need to understand the skill
21
00:03:08,450 –> 00:03:13,549
set that you can have on the bus it’s
gonna take it that so are you gonna be a
22
00:03:13,549 –> 00:03:17,810
data driven company are you are you
gonna be driving US sales through a
23
00:03:17,810 –> 00:03:21,900
direct sales force are you gonna go
through telemarketing agency how you
24
00:03:21,900 –> 00:03:26,799
gonna do you lead generation is it gonna
be through email is it gonna be through
25
00:03:26,799 –> 00:03:53,819
networking
26
00:03:53,819 –> 00:04:18,739
I have a particular bringing anybody
into an organization there’s a danger of
27
00:04:18,739 –> 00:04:25,110
hiring a really an expert might somebody
who says they know how to do it how to
28
00:04:25,110 –> 00:04:30,310
deliver the danger of that is it’s not
how you do your business here it’s not
29
00:04:30,310 –> 00:04:38,990
your goals of your values so I have a
tendency and i’ve seen it very
30
00:04:38,990 –> 00:04:42,020
successfully implemented in many
different organizations will you bring
31
00:04:42,020 –> 00:04:47,750
people in at a lower level because they
come in with much more of an open-minded
32
00:04:47,750 –> 00:04:51,430
willing to learn and you take these
people and you spend all your time and
33
00:04:51,430 –> 00:04:58,169
effort that you would normally spend on
on hiring sales and put it into training
34
00:04:58,169 –> 00:05:02,789
and say look this is how we do our
business here this is our goals this is
35
00:05:02,789 –> 00:05:08,300
how we do our business and you’re gonna
learn our system and you’re gonna be a
36
00:05:08,300 –> 00:05:12,349
fantastic whatever it is and you bring
them on board and you spend your money
37
00:05:12,349 –> 00:05:56,320
on training on and on the business
rather than hiring a star player
38
00:05:56,320 –> 00:06:06,830
I’m a believer in in in systems across
the board not just marketing you know
39
00:06:06,830 –> 00:06:11,570
it’s the same for finance it it’s it’s
it’s the same for operation is the same
40
00:06:11,570 –> 00:06:13,700
for the management team across the board
41
00:06:13,700 –> 00:06:19,130
you know you have to document and build
a systems-based business and that’s the
42
00:06:19,130 –> 00:06:23,640
only way that that businesses scalable
and sustainable and I I am a believer in
43
00:06:23,640 –> 00:06:27,690
that there’s an argument against
training for example that says you know
44
00:06:27,690 –> 00:06:32,950
what what happens a lot of people say
what happens if you if you train this
45
00:06:32,950 –> 00:06:38,190
person and they all these wonderful
skill sets and they leave you know my my
46
00:06:38,190 –> 00:06:50,240
my argument that is what happens if you
don’t train them and they stay yeah just
47
00:06:50,240 –> 00:06:56,480
don’t try to someone you keep them they
just are they trying to them and let
48
00:06:56,480 –> 00:07:05,720
them stay it’s it’s it’s a no-brainer
but thanks very much please give us any
49
00:07:05,720 –> 00:07:13,670
feedback we must cover as a business
owner excellent thank you
