The Home Staging Show Cindy Lin | Staged4more School of Home Staging

Hiring is so pivotal to the growth of your home staging business. Are you wearing a million different hats because you don't feel ready to outsource and delegate? 
Today’s conversation with Jamie Van Cuyk of Growing Your Team draws on her 15+ years of leadership experience and is like a mini workshop in mastering the art of hiring.
Jamie and I cover it all - from avoiding being the bottleneck in our businesses, to figuring out when and who we need to hire, compensation strategies, managing a remote team, and dealing with family and friends who want to work with you. You’ll walk away with so many takeaways and a game plan for your next hire.

Are you obsessively using data to track key metrics in your home staging business? You’ll be surprised to learn that some of the most successful home staging businesses rely on their numbers to be more effective.
Today’s guest is Elaine Penhaul, an award-winning home stager and the owner of Lemon + Lime Interiors in the UK. She has a full team of salespeople, movers, and stagers, but she’s also wildly passionate about data and believes it’s an essential marketing tool for every home staging business.
You’ll hear more about Elaine’s incredible new app, Stageflow, and how tracking a set of key metrics for every staging project has helped her become a more effective home stager. We also talk about the importance of creating case studies, the gap Elaine is filling with Stageflow, along with the plateaus of running a home staging business (and why you need to be thinking about your exit strategy!)
