How to Hire the Best: The Entrepreneur’s Ultimate Guide to Attracting Top Performing Team Members

BOOK TRAILER SCRIPT

Visual Concept: evidence board and solving a mystery—but make it look like a business space. The evidence board visually represents all the potential hires that an entrepreneur has to choose from. You could use colorful sticky notes with names or you could also do this with photos of people too (like black and white shots). But sticky notes would look cohesive and colorful, especially if you had more of a monochromatic background, like white. An actor playing the ‘entrepreneur’ could be looking at the sticky notes, trying to sort through the chaos of all the choices he has in front of him. He could rearrange the notes, moving them around, not really finding direction. We mostly see his back, so that the chaos of the evidence board is on display. Dr. Sabrina would come alongside him, slowly taking away all the options. By the end, the board is cleared of all the “chaos” and has only one sticky note left. It could have a name on it or not. Or it could say, something like “the right one” or some other keyword. Metaphor: Finding the right path clears the chaos of hiring confusion.

As an entrepreneur, you’ve started a business you love, but one of the biggest obstacles you’ll face is making the right hire. For most business owners, this process seems like a complete mystery.

Even when you’ve spent hours pouring over resumes and scouring job-hiring websites, it still doesn’t guarantee the results you want. Or even worse, you’ve already hired the wrong person. That kind of mistake is costly. 

If you’re drowning in the chaos of your to-do list, trading time for money, missed vacations, and desperately needing to find the right hire, then I have good news for you.

I’m Dr. Sabrina Starling, author of the How To Hire the Best series. I help business owners just like you solve the toughest hiring challenges interfering with your growth and profitability. One of the top questions I get asked is, “How do I hire the right person?”

I’ve seen entrepreneurs who make the mistake of hiring candidates who look great on paper but end up being nothing more than a warm body. This leads to plummeting morale and dissatisfied customers. Not hiring the right person is costing you thousands of dollars. 

Worst of all, you’re stuck at the same place you were before you hired. Back to square one. 

But what if the person you’re searching for is right in front of you? The one who will help propel your business to greater success? I have good news.

The solution you need isn’t top secret.

I’ve helped dozens of businesses solve the problem of finding their A-players.
