Make Hiring Movers A Priority In Your Moving Company

Any good, solid movers that are out there, right, that need work, that they're looking for a place, maybe they're already trained, they're a good driver, they're a good mover. Now's the time where they might be slow, they might not have the work that they want at another company, and they might be looking for work. If you wait until things start getting busy, it's going to be very hard to find movers. Even if you're not ready to hire them today, you need to start putting your ads out, right? You need to start doing your interviews, and you need to start building your mover database to be able to kind of have them ready to go when you need them. It's important to start thinking ahead and start planning ahead. And I know hiring movers is a struggle for a lot of people right now, by the way, before I go any further, make sure you are signed up. You've got your tickets for moving sales Academy Live.

But talking about hiring movers, first thing you got to do, you gotta, gotta, gotta do is make hiring movers a priority. I know this sounds simple, I know this sounds easy, I know it sounds obvious, but, you know, too many people say, I have a tough time hiring movers. We need helpers, we need drivers. And when I ask them, you know, what are you doing right now to bring them in? Typically, there's not really much going on right when you need sales, right. When you need to get business in the door, right. You get very aggressive on the marketing, you get very aggressive on the sales, I hope, right on both sides when you need to start bringing that business in. Well, it's the same thing with your movers. You can't take on more work unless you have the workforce to do the jobs, right. So you got to make sure that you prepare yourself and you do it early, early on. Bring them in, interview them, let them know that you're going to start getting busy very soon. And you wanted to get the right people in so that you could qualify them, get them, you know, trained, and get them on the job, even if you're not ready to put them to work yet. All right? Don't be afraid to start interviewing, meeting them, and then essentially building your mover database of, you know, the people and the positions that are qualified that you want them to come work for you. All right? So, you know, that's if you're looking for qualified, you know, experienced movers, right? And remember, just because they worked at a different company does not mean that they're qualified or experienced. If you're looking to hire professionals that have been in the industry that do have moving experience, you need to start doing that now. Don't wait till it starts getting busy because everybody, everybody in your market is going to be trying to hire them. Now's your time to get in there early and grab the good guys. It's important that you have a training program. Let me tell you why the better training program you have. The. Your need for experienced movers that have worked at a moving company goes down, right? Because if you're going to train them on how to move furniture, if you have that process laid out for them and you actually put them in your office or in your warehouse and you run them through the process, then you can now look for just good quality employees, right? Good quality employees where you don't have to be stuck looking for someone that knows how to pad a chair or that knows how to load a truck, right? They know how to put the base and load the tiers and all that. You don't have to find that if you are going to train them to where, if you're not as busy as you want to be and you have this time, use this time and create a mover training program for yourself. It doesn't have to be anything extravagant. It just has to be, how do you teach them the basics? How do you get them, you know, from. From the very, very basic of like how to pad a chair, right? All the way to how you want them to interact with your customers. Make hiring a priority. Get aggressive about it. Play place additional ads, all right? Have time blocks set up where you have them come in and you're able to interview them. Or right there on the spot during the interview, have them pad a chair, something simple to where you could see, you know, did they take the pad and throw it over the chair or did they lay the pad on the floor, put the chair in the pad and wrap it up like they're supposed to, right? Little small things to be able to tell if they know what they're doing. But start rounding them up now and get aggressive about it, right? If you're placing ads, place more ads. Yes, I know it costs money every single time that you place the ad, but you know what's going to cost you more money? Having an opportunity to book moves that you can't book because you don't have enough movers in uniform ready to do the job. All right, you want to be proactive. You want to get out ahead of the curve and get these movers in your, you know, database and in your circle so that you have them when things start getting busy. This way, when you come to Moving Sales Academy and I show you how to build a sales machine for your business, you could go back, book more moves, have the movers to get them serviced, and make a ton of money this year.
