HOW TO BUILD YOUR SUPPORT TEAM: HIRING VS CONTRACTING

At some point, every growing design business hits the same crossroads.
You’re juggling client work, managing installations, answering emails at all hours, and wondering…
- “Is it finally time to get help?”
- “Should I hire an employee or work with contractors?”
- “How do I know I’m actually ready to build a team?”
Growing your business isn’t just about bringing on another set of hands. It’s about making the right decision for where your business is today and where you want it to go.
Hiring too soon can create unnecessary overhead. Waiting too long can leave you overwhelmed and limit your growth. So how do you know when it’s the right time to take the leap?
On September 30 from 9:00–10:00 AM PT, join Genevieve and guest expert Kenneth Roberts, Principal of Interior Talent, for a live Key Call focused on building your first team with confidence.
