Steve has been in the Digital Marketing landscape for 20 years. After a job separation, he decided to take care of his parents due to both of them having health issues. That requires flexibility so he decided to use his skills to do something entrepreneurial. He eventually started an eCommerce business and grew it from an idea to do over 7 figures in sales. Even though Covid crushed his business because he knows ‘how this works’ he is in the process of building it back from the ashes so he can eventually sell it. He is also consulting and advising small to medium size eCommerce, Saas, and online businesses in the M&A space. Due to the fact, he gets deeply involved in the deal process, this M&A experience has put a spotlight on the mistakes other businesses are making. These mistakes end up causing owners significant money when they go to exit.
The Strategic Hiring Process: A Crucial Test
The hiring process plays a pivotal role in shaping a successful team. Rather than adopting conventional methods, Ugly Mug Marketing employs a multi-step approach designed to identify candidates aligning with the company’s values and demonstrating attention to detail. This includes a carefully crafted application process, meticulous attention to instructions, and a series of interviews.
Their goal is to filter out individuals lacking attention to detail, a trait considered crucial for success. By structuring the hiring process strategically, the company ensures that candidates not only possess the necessary skills but also seamlessly fit into the organizational culture.
