BETTER RESOURCES INDEX:

‍RECRUITING

Recruiting can be one of the most difficult parts of being an entrepreneur. You are probably productive and great at what you do. However, at some point, you need to hire more people if you want to grow. If you are going to trust people to delegate to, your process of hiring needs to be perfectly designed.

There are plenty of resources to take advantage of when looking to bring on people for your team. First, you should always perform an employment background check (https://www.jdp.com/services/employment-background-checks/). While someone may be a great interviewer, they could have a past that affects your customers or other employees. Also, use online job boards instead of relying on just your local market. This will broaden the pool of talent that you have access to.

MARKETING

In the old days, you used to get a major bankroll if you wanted to play in the big markets. Today, social media has changed all that. If you use your social right, you can have free advertising that displays your product and solution in a positive light. Don’t just depend on your own skills though. See if you can bring a manager on board that helps you post your promotions, so you can focus on the big picture of growing your brand from a strategy perspective. Professionals can also help you in branding and completely refocusing your market or strategy (https://bloocci.com/blog/social-media-marketing-strategy/).
