Many entrepreneurs chase VC funding, but the ones who fail to get it may be better off than those who do.

One of the simplest, yet often overlooked ways a business can lose money is from bad hires. Making poor hiring decisions is akin to creating a hidden tax on your business. There’s no line item on your income statement called “bad hires,” but the impact on your finances is very real.

Your company’s hiring process determines whether or not your enterprise is destined for failure or success. It’s that simple.

If you’re planning for big revenue growth, it’s time to start thinking about whether or not your company’s people are ready to handle it.

They have to balance persuasion with likability, relationship quality with quantity, and your company’s reputation with the need to make the sale. And this is just the beginning.

After all the time and effort they expend to locate, hire and train top producers, why do most of them do things that make their top salespeople quit?

Successful franchises have put systems in place for just about everything, from signing up and training new franchisees and their management teams to selecting, leasing and/or building out locations to managing point-of-sale (POS) functions, schedules and payroll. Some franchisors have even built proprietary systems for ordering and managing inventory, scheduling meetings and marketing their business.
