Heyy everyone! When you hired someone to go out and market your business or even if you plan to once open. ( build relationships w/ potential referral sources) ! What did that look like for you starting out ? Did you post the position on indeed ? Or was it a referral from a family friend or employee ? Did you hire per diem / full time / part time ? Did you add commission to the hourly rate every time they signed on a new client ? ALSO ……. Do you have a minimum hourly requirement? If no minimum Do you charge more hourly for short hours? I have a minimum of 4hrs but I have been getting so many calls about 1-2hrs & im kinda considering it on a case by case basis! I love to get feedback 💕🙏🏽

At this event (Elder Senior Network -Professional Marketing Mixer) there were 5-8 other home care agencies: and I’m talking big dogs. Agencies that have been in the industry 15-20 years plus. I brought a door prize and this allowed me to speak to everyone in the room. Here is my quick speech. This little speech allowed me to say who I was, where I serviced, and to switch it up-I talked about a position I have available for hiring in my company. This let me talk about my company culture and expectations. It allowed me to talk about how I run my company. Directly following my speech-2 referral companies and 1 non-profit company asked me to meet with them. Don’t sleep on these types of opportunities. My door prize was a Stanley cup with LMNT electrolyte packets $30 from Target and it opened up an opportunity for me to speak in front of industry legends.

Last night it finally happened. We got a 1-Star review. It was from a caregiver. And when I tell you I was actually grateful for that comment! I actually turned it into my pitch at the Chamber of Commerce monthly networking lunch today. The result??? I was bum rushed afterwards. By people wanting to network but more importantly, people looking for care for their loved ones. I posted the speech to my IG if you guys want to hear it. https://www.instagram.com/_mariamdawoodkhan?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr

@Hanad Musa came and brought me soup and a shake when I mentioned I was in San Diego and not feeling well. Thank you so much. ❤️❤️❤️ it felt so nice to have one of my people around.

A lot has happened in the last 30 days for me and I’ve since recalibrated. I’m still recovering from something and today is my last day on antibiotics. Thank god. I’m looking forward to our next QA but I wanted to apologize for the inconsistency on my posts and follow ups. Let’s all get after it.
