When you start a foreclosure cleanup business, sometimes you're going to have to hire help to get the job done right and on time. But, if you're not careful with who and how you hire, you can blow your profits and ruin your business reputation.
Following are two things to keep in mind when you have to bring on help to assist you in your foreclosure cleaning business.
1. Use a Staffing Agency: One of the easiest ways to get the help you need with foreclosure cleaning jobs -- quick -- is to use a staffing agency. The reason is, they do all the screening and paperwork. You pay them and they pay the workers.
While this is a simple, quick way to hire help, it does have its drawbacks. The main one being, you're usually paying each worker by the hour. So, if you've estimated that it's going to take 7 hours to a job, but it winds up being 10, then that's more money out of your pocket.
And, if you have to pay say two workers, that's six extra hours of work. If you're paying each worker $10/hour, that's an extra $60.
Hence, you have to be very precise when you're calculating when crafting your foreclosure cleanup job proposal. Build in enough of a profit so that if a job runs over, it doesn't eat too much into your profits.
Note: When hiring labor from a staffing agency, ask about each worker's work history with the agency, eg, how long have they temped through the agency; how many times have they been sent out in the last three months; what's the feedback from other clients; etc.
2. Don't Rely on Friends and Family: Many small business owners - and foreclosure clean up business owners are no different) -- make the mistake of using friends and family to help them in their business.
This can be a huge mistake that not only damages your personal relationships, but also damages your business reputation as well.
Remember, this is a business - you're the boss. And some friends and family aren't able to make the switch from "family/friend" to "employee."
For example, what if you have to ask them to reclean something because it wasn't done well enough. Or, what if the job runs longer than expected and you have to ask them to stay longer.
It's just too risky to mix business with personal relationships. Where possible, avoid it at all costs.
If you keep these two things in mind when staffing your foreclosure cleaning businesses' jobs, you should have no problem hiring competent help - quickly. |
