How To Take Action
I would suggest starting with authenticity in your sales approach. It's not about being the smoothest talker, but about being real with your customers. This helps build trust, which is super important in business.
When it comes to hiring, I’ve found it really important to be very involved. Even if you’re busy, take the time to meet and get to know your job candidates. The right team can make or break your business.
Here's what you can do:
- Reflect on what authenticity means in your business. How can you be more genuine with your customers?
- Look at your hiring process. Are you involved enough? Make sure you're meeting with potential hires and checking if they fit your company’s values.
- Learn from top CEOs. Pick one or two you admire and read about how they handle hiring.
- Prevent problems in your company by getting the right people on board. This saves you a lot of trouble down the line.
By doing these things, you can improve your sales and build a solid team without spending a lot of money or time. It’s all about focusing on what truly matters: being real with people and making sure you work with the right ones.
