ALL-NEW, UPDATED CONTENT based on Dr. Sabrina’s latest research on attracting, hiring and retaining A-Players
If you’re like most small business owners, you dread hiring employees. An applicant may look great on paper and interview well. Yet, once you bring a new employee on board, you may be sorely disappointed in the employee’s performance.
What went wrong?
Surprisingly, the traditional hiring process actually sets small business owners up to mis-hire 75% of the time.
Mis-hiring is too costly!
It’s time to stop doing what every other small business owner is doing, and learn more effective hiring strategies.
Facts
- Hiring the wrong entry-level employee costs between $5,000 and $7,000 after just 3 months, according to the US Department of Labor.
- You’ll be out over $40,000 if you mis-hire a supervisor who makes $20,000 annually.
- Hiring the wrong $100,000/year manager will cost you $300,000.
- Even worse…these figures don’t even take into account the cost of decreased employee morale … or the lost business from dissatisfied customers.
- If you’re like most business owners, payroll is your biggest expense. And, if you’re like most business owners, you are paying “warm bodies” because it’s so hard to find top performing employees.
- Most small businesses cannot afford to just keep “absorbing the cost” of warm bodies.
- Warm bodies are the slow kiss of death to your small business!
- 1 top-performing employee can do the work of 9 to 12 warm bodies.
- If you use what you learn from Dr. Sabrina to hire just 1 top performing employee in the next year, imagine what that can do for your bottom line. Now, imagine what’s possible when you hire 2 or more top-performing employees…
More Facts:

My team of A-Players came together quickly! With the launch of my new venture, I needed multiple sales team members. Using the strategies Dr. Sabrina taught me, I attracted 3 top-performing team members – I can’t believe how much easier hiring was this time around!

“Sabrina’s guidance has been crucial in successfully buying and starting our company. We would have hit some huge stumbling blocks and major obstacles that we wouldn’t have known what do with if we hadn’t had Sabrina helping us. The work we’ve done with Sabrina is all-encompassing—beyond just how to make money. It’s easy to get in a rut in running a business. You have to change how you think to be able to grow. Sabrina refocuses us when we get in a rut. She gets us thinking outside the box. She gives us new ideas for growing the business, running it smoothly, and dealing with employee issues.” It’s always seemed so hard to find good employees, much less attract them to work for me. I used Dr. Sabrina’s Ideal Employee Template and almost like magic that applicant appeared. The strategies Dr. Sabrina teaches work! And they are easy to implement – no matter how busy you are!

As a business owner with employees we have put Dr. Starling’s concepts and ideas to the test – they work! Her refreshing insight has given us a complete new understanding of how a business owner who relies on employees needs to think in today's business climate. Who would of thought we could ever become an 'employer of choice' by those who are seeking a career?

I have a whole new way of thinking about employees. I now quickly fill my open positions with the right people for the job. I thought I could hire anyone, and if the training I provided was good enough, I’d get them to be productive. Sabrina showed me how to match an employee’s strengths with the job. What Sabrina taught me will save me a lot of time, money and frustration by preventing problems I would have had in my growing company if I’d continued hiring the way I had been. “After just a couple of meetings with Dr. Sabrina, I have a whole new way of thinking about employees.

I just wanted to say a big thank you to you. I signed up for your How to Hire the Best course about a year ago but then decided to pare down my client list rather than hire. With life circumstances, etc. I wasn’t up to growing and hiring employees at that time. I took the course later and started looking for an employee this summer. My hiring process was completely different this time. I put so much work into preparing to look for an employee, really communicated with applicants what the culture will be, what is expected of the new hire, etc. It scared off pretty well all applicants (lol!) which at times left me feeling vulnerable & unsure. But then someone came along who loved all of what I communicated, my goals and dreams for the business, the culture I’m building, etc. I hired her and it’s been fantastic! As I was driving home last night I was thinking about past hires who I felt so much frustration with (who I now realize had completely different immutable laws as I do) and about this hire and how well we work together and complement each other and I wanted to send you a big thank you!
