"I need more staff." ‎ ‎Are you sure? ‎ ‎Every time I hear a founder say this, I ask one question: ‎ ‎"What exactly are you hiring them to do?" ‎ ‎Most of the time, the answer is: ‎ ‎- Follow up with leads. ‎- Reply to emails. ‎- Schedule meetings. ‎- Update the CRM. ‎- Send onboarding information. ‎ ‎Those aren't hiring problems. ‎ ‎They're systems problems. ‎ ‎Hiring should help your business grow, not compensate for inefficient processes. ‎ ‎Before you post that job opening, spend one hour mapping out the work. ‎ ‎You might discover half of it doesn't need a human at all. ‎ ‎What's the last task you hired someone to do? Could part of it have been automated? 🌟 ‎Better systems build better businesses. ‎
