Different worlds, I suppose. What I am doing now and the last business before sale, you have to understand your product and the people referring to you and you can't do that in less than a month. 2 hires that tried to shortcut the process ended up costing me money and them commission and later on, their job. It is difficult for us to hire someone who is in the industry since they probably have a non-compete clause. I know I do. So if you can't poach from your competitors, you pretty much have to hire someone outside who probably doesn't know the product as well as your twist. My last hire was from the hotel industry which is nowhere close to what we are doing. Took a week of training for her to know the database and enough of what we are doing to understand how to enter the data and track what is going on, payroll, etc, etc.
