Key Takeaways

✦

Create a current organizational chart to visualize your team structure and identify areas of need or bottleneck.

✦

Develop a future organizational chart (3-year outlook) to strategically plan for new positions and specialized roles.

✦

Analyze your current team's capacity and workload to pinpoint where new hires can alleviate pressure or improve efficiency.

✦

Consider roles like an office manager, designer, selections coordinator, or bookkeeper to offload 'low-value' tasks and free up higher-value time for owners.

✦

Understand your numbers (top-line revenue, COGS, gross profit, overhead, net profit) before making any hiring decisions.

✦

Strategically plan how to pay for new hires, either by increasing markup, increasing sales, or adjusting pricing to cover increased overhead.

✦

Don't guess or hope when hiring; use data and strategic planning to make confident, financially sound hiring decisions.
