Interviewing New Hires

Choosing a new member of the team relies on asking the right questions when you first interview them for the role.

So I started my business with built-in systems and they have been powerful in allowing me to provide my clients with predictable, quality services every single time.

What Are Your Actually Selling?

Can I just tell you that you are not selling what you think you are selling?

I can hear the umbrage you are taking right now!

“OK Teik, I’ve listened to your fancy ideas so far, and some of them have been really useful, others have been interesting, but now you’ve gone too far! What do you mean I’m not selling what I think I’m selling! I know exactly what I’m selling, I’ve been selling ‘X’ for years!”
