Today we’re joined by John Briggs of Incite Tax. John is featured as a case study in Dr. Sabrina’s latest book, How to Hire the Best: The Entrepreneur's Ultimate Guide to Attracting Top-Performing Team Members. Currently, John has 26 team members and his business is growing. Needless to say, hiring is a top focus at Incite Tax. John does a lot to make his business a great place to work and to develop his team. 

On today’s episode, John shares some of his insights around the importance of one-to-one meetings with team members, why he spends so much time getting to know his team members, as well as why he encourages his leaders to do the same.

Listen in for some informative ideas that you can easily implement in your own business!

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