Ryan Deiss outlines the hiring order for founders at $500K revenue: executive assistant, head of sales, fractional CFO, recruiter, project manager. He explains why each role matters at this stage and admits he got the sequence wrong before.
First one, executive assistant. 4. Head of sales. 1. Why? You need money, you need sales. Actually, ah, 2. Okay, why not 1? Because you probably should be doing more of your own sales at $500K. A fractional CFO. Ugh, 5. A recruiter. 6. I guess 3 'cause I already took up the other ones. All right, and then the last one, project manager. It's not number 1. I guess I'm gonna put it at number 1. I failed this so miserably bad.
