What A-Players Really Want From You – Episode 199

Today’s episode continues our focus on hiring. This has become a monumental challenge right now for business owners who are feeling the pain in many ways. Small business owners everywhere are losing team members to other jobs that promise higher wages. In reality, you can retain A-players without having to pay significantly higher wages. Let’s take a closer look!

Don’t forget to join us next week as we celebrate Episode 200! An exciting return guest to the podcast will explain how consistent and small steps will lead to BIG changes. Don’t miss it!

Profit by Design is a Tap the Potential Production in collaboration with Small Business Consulting Group.

Show Highlights:
  • The value in intangible perks, those things that your team members value beyond money, like opportunities for advancement through training, business education, and hands-on experience
  • How even entry-level roles can be greatly enhanced through systemized training and checklists
  • The key question to ask when bringing any team member into a new role: “What does success look like in this role at the end of Year #1?” (This indicates the direction in which your training for them should go.)
  • How building confidence in new team members so they can think independently, solve problems, and work independently.
  • Why it is essential to improve your “flow” and decrease chaos in your work culture (This element is crucial to retaining A-players!)
  • Never be afraid to ask your team members for suggestions on improvement; this makes A-players feel that their opinions matter and are valued.
  • Why understanding how A-players think and respond will help your recruiting efforts align to attract them (Our upcoming FREE Livenar can help!)
  • Why opportunities for training and development in technical skills, leadership, and personal growth WILL attract and retain A-players
  • Why it’s important to lay out clear opportunities for advancement and specific time frames to “move up” (Our Dream Manager Program and Leadership Boot Camp can help!)
