Self Storage Tip - 💡 💰 🤑

I was listening to a podcast that was talking about the great marketing genius that is David Ogilvy

One of the things David is famous for saying is -

“Pay peanuts and you get monkeys”

Focus on hiring the best people you can afford

Your people determine your company.

This is an unpopular opinion …. But something I totally agree with -

Focus on increasing revenue not saving money on hiring average

Hire brilliance

This is your leverage in your industry or sector

David Ogilvy

Wow take a bow David. Utter BRILLIANCE

I have taken this approach with my business

I want to hire inline with my future growth, my future business, not where I am right now … Hence Katie joining us

Il part by saying … Be confident enough to hire people who are better than you!
