Hello everybody, I am a sorta new business owner (1-2 years), and I am looking at expanding this month by hiring someone to complete all of the window cleanings and pressure washing. I want to do all of the sales and hire a worker or two to complete all of the work! Any advice or tips would be appreciated! Thanks ya'll!
Hiring trustworthy employees that have the same standards as you can be challenging as you don’t want to tarnish the reputation you have built. I would suggest when you hire you work alongside them for quite some time so they know what is expected and see the pride you have for your work and business. Hope this helps!
Hello Jarred! Thanks for advice, I appreciate it.
Hi James, we have been in business for over 20 years so we have had our fair share of people and I will say that when you decide to make the leap make sure along with your policies and procedures that you inspect what you expect. Everyone wants to jump from working in the business to working on the business and that's not always feasible until you have a solid foundation. I hope this makes sense. Remember you are not alone in this world of what do I do now?! Also If don't have the revenue put aside already to hire someone I would highly recommend you do that first. Meaning payroll, taxes and other expensenses you need to cover any mishaps that will happen when you are not on the job. Second create a training that is duplicatable and if possible try to find that person first and invest into them. Once you have that part working not perfect but operating without you having to be there all the time then you can move into working on the business. You can also use the D.I.S.C assessment testing to see if they are good fit for you and start building this culture. Good Luck.
Once you have found the candidate make sure you have your training planned. Setting them up for success is key.
Yes thank you for the tip!
Instruct and train them in how "your company" does things. Not how they want to do them but by your policy and procedures. Remember it is your cpmpany.
Depending on where you are hire them as 1099 contract employees. Then you dont have to keep up with their taxes. And they get basically "hired per job"
