Scaling with Intention: Insights from the Executive Edge Panel on Hiring for Strategic Growth

In today’s fast-moving business landscape, hiring isn’t just about adding bodies—it’s about building impact. That was the central theme of our Executive Edge panel, hosted by Workergenix founder and CEO, Harley Green. This dynamic session brought together an elite lineup of business leaders to explore the often-misunderstood art of hiring with strategy, purpose, and long-term vision.

Meet the Panel

The June edition featured powerhouse panelists with deep experience in operations, team-building, and scalable business strategy:

Each guest shared their unfiltered insights on when to hire, how to delegate without abdicating, and what it truly takes to scale without burnout.

The Myth of “More People = More Progress”

Harley kicked things off by challenging a common myth: that hiring more people automatically leads to more output. Susan Fennema was quick to point out that without systems and structure, more team members can lead to confusion, not productivity. Clay Posey shared a vivid story from his early career, cautioning against the “military math” of assuming 200 workers can accomplish a 200-hour job in one hour. As he emphasized, each new hire introduces complexity and potential inefficiencies if not integrated with intention.

Stories of Game-Changing Hires

Each panelist shared a story of a single hire that transformed their business. For Susan, it was a part-time virtual assistant who evolved into her full-time Director of Operations—and future successor. Jason Rosado recounted how helping a client hire a project manager doubled their revenue and cut work hours in half. Mike Slinker highlighted the essential difference between visionary leaders and tactical implementers, explaining how hiring a strategic executor turned a high-growth church organization around.

Clay emphasized the leap of faith (and data) required to hire a manager before the chaos hits. His early-year hire freed him up for business development and helped match the company’s entire prior-year revenue by mid-year.

Where to Start: Ops, Sales, or Admin?

There was a healthy debate on where founders should begin scaling. Susan recommends getting out of day-to-day operations first, especially for small businesses. Jason focuses on aligning the owner’s strengths and passion with their role and building the org chart around that. The consensus? Every founder’s path is different, but clarity on your unique value is non-negotiable.

Hiring Fails & Lessons Learned

No panel on hiring would be complete without talking about what not to do. Clay shared a painful (but valuable) lesson about hiring without clear systems. Jason stressed the need for two-way interviews, encouraging founders to ask tough, disqualifying questions to reveal fit. Mike urged business owners to recognize the art of interviewing, and Susan warned about mixing business with family without a clear exit.

Knowing When It’s Time to Hire

The panel closed with actionable frameworks for recognizing when it’s time to bring someone in. Jason shared how he uses vision-based planning and energy coaching to help clients tune into their internal compass. Susan and Clay emphasized data and financial forecasting. Mike introduced a “rubber band” analogy—watching for stretch and stress as signals that your team’s capacity is maxed out.

Final Takeaways

If there’s one thing this panel made clear, it’s that hiring is never just about filling a role. It’s about aligning vision, values, and capacity to drive the business forward. When done right, a single hire can transform a company’s culture, revenue, and trajectory.

Harley Green:
Welcome, everyone. I’m Harley Green, founder and CEO of Workergenix, where we help executives and leadership teams stay focused on high-impact activities by delegating the rest to highly skilled, AI-leveraged Ultimate Executive Assistants. I’m thrilled to moderate today’s Executive Edge live panel with a group of powerhouse leaders who understand that hiring should be about strategic impact, not just headcount.

Our panelists include:

  • Clay Posey, CEO and founder of Clearbox Strategies, with over 30 years of experience in data-driven growth strategy and scalable team building.
  • Susan Fennema, CEO and founder of Beyond the Chaos, is an operations expert helping business owners escape the weeds through strategic support hires.
  • Mike Slinker, CEO of Tennessee Memories and founder of Slinker Consulting, is a visionary who has built value-driven teams across industries.
  • And joining us shortly will be Jason Rosado, founder of Distinctive Coaching for Business Success.

Let’s jump right in.

Why Do Leaders Think More People = More Progress?

Susan Fennema:
Often, leaders feel overwhelmed and assume hiring more people is the solution. But that doesn’t always address the root problem. It adds overhead and interpersonal complexity, and without strategic clarity, more people won’t solve the issue.

Mike Slinker:
Many leaders equate headcount with productivity. But real progress lies at the intersection of vision and execution. It’s about finding the right implementers to match your vision, not just more hands.

Clay Posey:
This reminds me of my first job under a retired Marine Colonel. He joked that if a project needed 200 hours, a general would say, “Great, bring 200 men and do it in an hour.” But adding people doesn’t linearly increase productivity. There’s overhead, training, and diminishing returns.

Jason Rosado:
People think hiring is a way to duplicate themselves. It sounds easy in theory, but it’s complex in practice. If not done right, you create more work, not less.

Turning Points: Stories of a Key Hire

Mike Slinker:
While serving as Executive Pastor at a large church, the lead pastor had vision but lacked tactical execution. My role became about implementing systems so ministry directors could align with that vision. It reinforced how critical it is to support visionary leaders with operational strength.

Susan Fennema:
A few years ago, I hired a part-time VA who is now my full-time Director of Operations and right-hand. Her growth has been remarkable. When you hire someone aligned with your values and culture, they become a true extension of you.

Jason Rosado:
A client of mine, Andrew, had a team but was doing 70-hour weeks because he didn’t trust them. We reorganized his structure and hired a project manager to act as a buffer between him, his team, and clients. Within six months, he doubled his revenue and cut his hours in half. That one hire changed everything.

Clay Posey:
Hiring a Head of Operations this past January was pivotal. Even though she’s still ramping up, we’ve already matched last year’s revenue halfway through this year. That hire freed me to focus on business development, and it’s paid off tremendously.

Where Should You Start When Building Support Teams?

Susan Fennema:
Start by removing the owner from operations. Focus on sales, finance, and strategic oversight. Outsource marketing early if possible, and use fractional or part-time hires. You don’t need a full-time COO at $250k; there are more scalable ways to get help.

Jason Rosado:
Start with the owner’s passion. What do they love? What brings ROI? Then outsource or delegate the rest. I even have my clients create a job posting for themselves to define their dream role. From there, we build around them.

Mike Slinker:
You must assign a value to each role. Understand who brings the most value to each function and align hires accordingly.

Clay Posey:
Remember to delegate, not abdicate. Culture starts with the founder. Define and measure it. Whether you’re hiring locally or globally, instill your values and maintain quality control.

Hiring Fails and How to Avoid Them

Clay Posey:
The E-Myth by Michael Gerber taught me the importance of building systems before hiring. Clear roles and expectations are critical. I’ve made mistakes by hiring without defining responsibilities, and it led to failure for everyone involved.

Jason Rosado:
Most interviews are two people selling to each other. I teach a “two-way interview” process, where both sides explore potential mismatches. Ask tough questions like, “Why might this role not work for you?” It leads to better hires and fewer surprises.

Mike Slinker:
Interviewing is a skill. If you’re not good at it, hire someone who is. Otherwise, you’ll make hiring mistakes that could cost you dearly.

Susan Fennema:
Avoid hiring family unless you’re clear about how it ends. If you can’t fire someone, you probably shouldn’t hire them. Set expectations from day one, even with friends or relatives.

What Do You Do Now Before Making a Key Hire?

Susan Fennema:
I run the numbers rigorously. Once, I hired someone hoping revenue would match. It didn’t, and I had to part ways. Now, I consider what happens if projections fall short.

Clay Posey:
I ask candidates to reflect on their budgets. Not share them with me, but to be honest with themselves. If they’re taking the job but can’t cover their expenses, it won’t end well.

Mike Slinker:
Pay-for-performance agreements keep both sides aligned. They encourage results while managing cost and motivation.

Jason Rosado:
Be cautious about asking too much. Budget questions might border on legal gray areas. Help new hires plan financially, but don’t overstep.

When Is It Time to Hire?

Jason Rosado:
Map out where you want to be in a year, then work backward. Build a hiring timeline based on business goals, capacity, and stress levels. Factor in emotional blocks too, fear often clouds judgment.

Susan Fennema:
Treat hiring as a last resort. Start with automation, outsourcing, and part-time support. People are your most expensive resource, and drama often follows them.

Mike Slinker:
Use the “rubber band” analogy. If a team is stretched to the max, it’s about to snap. Don’t wait for burnout. Build margin early to support healthy growth.

Clay Posey:
I forecast hiring needs based on our pipeline and metrics. If I know I’ll need someone by August, I start hiring in June to allow ramp-up time. Data-driven hiring protects your team and ensures quality delivery.

Are You Losing Money by Handling Customer Service Yourself?

by Harley GreenClient Relationship, Outsourcing, ProductivityPosted on Comments are Disabled

Are You Losing Money by Handling Customer Service Yourself?

Let’s be real—entrepreneurs and business owners wear a lot of hats. But just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should.

Customer service is a prime example. You might think keeping it in-house (or worse, doing it yourself) ensures quality. In reality, it’s costing you time, energy, and revenue.

Let’s break down the ROI of delegating customer service—and why handing it off isn’t just a smart move, but a profitable one.

1. The Hidden Cost of Handling It Yourself

As a business owner, your time is your highest-value asset. If you’re spending hours answering emails, troubleshooting issues, or handling refunds, you’re not focusing on growth.

  • If your hourly value is $200+ (which it should be if you’re leading a company), every hour spent on customer service is an expensive distraction.
  • Meanwhile, a trained customer service assistant costs a fraction of that and can handle inquiries faster, more efficiently, and with a customer-first approach.

Bottom line: Every hour you’re tied up in customer service is an hour not spent scaling, selling, or strategizing.

2. Increased Customer Retention = More Profit

Most businesses focus on customer acquisition, but customer retention is where the real profit is.

  • A 5% increase in retention can lead to a 25%-95% boost in profits (Harvard Business Review).
  • 86% of customers are willing to pay more for a better experience (PWC).

An experienced customer service assistant ensures fast response times, personalized interactions, and proactive follow-ups—keeping your customers happy, engaged, and loyal.

3. Scaling Becomes Effortless

Great customer service isn’t just about handling issues—it’s about turning customers into brand advocates.

With a dedicated assistant:
✅ You scale without stress—no bottlenecks, no backlog.
✅ Customers get faster responses, leading to better reviews and referrals.
✅ You maintain a consistent brand voice, even as you grow.

Instead of stretching yourself thin, you create a seamless customer experience that supports your growth, not slows it down.

4. The Revenue-Generating ROI of Delegation

Here’s the math:

Let’s say you spend 10 hours a week on customer service. If your time is worth $200/hr, that’s $2,000/week ($104,000/year!) spent on tasks someone else could handle.

Hiring a dedicated assistant for ~$2,000/month saves you time, ensures better service, and allows you to focus on high-impact revenue-generating activities.

The trade-off? You gain back your time AND see an ROI that directly impacts your bottom line.

Final Thought: What’s Your Time Really Worth?

Most business owners don’t realize how much revenue they’re leaving on the table by handling customer service themselves.

By delegating, you’re not just outsourcing a task—you’re buying back your time, increasing retention, and setting up your business for scalable growth.

So, what’s your time worth?

Simplifying Customer Service: How To Train a Virtual Assistant To Lighten Your Load

by Harley GreenBusiness Growth, Client Relationship, Outsourcing, ProductivityPosted on Comments are Disabled

As an entrepreneur or business owner, handling customer service can quickly become overwhelming, especially as your business scales. Here’s a practical guide to easing this burden by bringing on a Virtual Assistant (VA).

Why You Need a Virtual Assistant for Customer Service

Customer service demands can spike unpredictably, and your ability to respond promptly affects customer satisfaction and retention. A VA can manage routine inquiries and support tasks, freeing you to focus on the growth and development areas of your business.

How to Choose the Right VA for Customer Service

  1. Identify Your Needs: Before searching for a VA, outline what customer service tasks you need help with. This could range from answering emails to managing live chat and handling customer complaints.
  2. Selecting a VA Service: Companies like Workergenix provide a comprehensive setup for VAs, including local phone numbers, task management systems, professional email addresses, and email signatures, which are essential for maintaining professionalism in customer interactions.

Training Your VA to Meet Your Standards

  1. Establish Clear Expectations: Provide detailed descriptions of tasks and the quality of service you expect, including response timeframes, tone of communication, and handling procedures for different types of inquiries.
  2. Use Training Materials: If you have existing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), recordings, or handbooks, share them with your VA. If not, consider tasking your VA with creating these materials as part of their onboarding.
  3. Adopt an “I do/We do/You do” Training Approach: Demonstrate tasks yourself, perform them together, then let your VA handle them, providing feedback as needed.

Ensuring High-Quality Service

  1. Implement Systems: Use tools like CRM software to manage customer interactions systematically. Systems can be scaled or adjusted depending on business size, ensuring your customer service grows with your company.
  2. Regular Feedback and Evaluation: Schedule regular reviews and provide constructive feedback. Encourage your VA to ask questions and suggest improvements.

The Advantages of Outsourcing Customer Service

Outsourcing to a VA not only alleviates your workload but also enhances operational efficiency. It allows for scalability, offers flexibility during demand fluctuations, and ensures your customers have access to support when they need it. Ultimately, a VA can contribute significantly to customer satisfaction and loyalty, driving long-term success for your business.

For businesses feeling the strain of customer service demands, hiring a virtual assistant can be a game-changer. Embrace the opportunity to enhance your operational efficiency and watch your business thrive.

In the fast-paced world of entrepreneurship, leveraging virtual assistants (VAs) to provide core business services is becoming increasingly common. However, navigating the process of onboarding and training VAs can be a challenge for business owners. In this blog post, we explore effective strategies for bringing on VAs to provide core business services, addressing training methods, skill development, and communication strategies to ensure success.

Gradual Skill Development for VAs:

Managing the learning curve for VAs and gradually expanding their responsibilities over time is essential for long-term success.

By gradually increasing their workload and providing ongoing support and guidance, business owners can ensure VAs continue to grow and excel in their roles.

Communication Strategies with VAs:

Effective communication is key to a successful partnership between business owners and VAs. Maintaining regular communication channels and providing clear instructions are essential for ensuring clarity and alignment. At Workergenix, we emphasize the importance of establishing open lines of communication from the outset, setting clear expectations, and providing timely feedback to foster collaboration and productivity.

Conclusion:

Bringing on VAs to provide core business services can be a game-changer for entrepreneurs looking to scale their operations and focus on strategic initiatives. By implementing effective training methods, managing the learning curve, and maintaining clear communication channels, business owners can unlock the full potential of their VAs and drive business growth. With the right strategies in place, VAs can become invaluable partners in achieving success in today’s competitive business landscape.

However, ensuring consistent quality from subcontractors can pose challenges for entrepreneurs. In this article, we address the top questions business owners have when hiring VAs for subcontracting core service functions, focusing on quality assurance strategies to maintain standards and drive success.

Provide Detailed Instructions:

Offer comprehensive guidelines and instructions for tasks to ensure consistency and minimize errors. Clear communication enhances understanding and promotes adherence to quality standards.

Regular Feedback:

Provide constructive feedback and performance evaluations to help subcontractors improve and maintain quality. Open dialogue fosters a culture of continuous improvement and accountability.

Quality Control Checks:

Implement regular quality control checks and reviews to monitor the work of subcontractors. By conducting periodic assessments, you can identify areas for improvement and address any deviations from standards promptly.

Communication Channels:

Maintain open communication channels to address any issues or concerns promptly. Encourage subcontractors to communicate openly and seek clarification whenever needed, fostering transparency and collaboration.

Unleashing Growth: The Strategic Advantages of Outsourcing Core Business Functions to Virtual Assistants

by Harley GreenBusiness Growth, Outsourcing, ProductivityPosted on Comments are Disabled

As entrepreneurs, we’re constantly seeking ways to propel our businesses forward while maximizing efficiency and minimizing costs. One strategy that has gained significant traction in recent years is outsourcing core business functions to virtual assistants (VAs). In this article, we’ll explore the myriad benefits of leveraging external expertise to handle essential tasks, allowing business owners to focus on their core competencies and drive sustainable growth.

Streamlining Operations and Enhancing Productivity:

By entrusting core business functions to virtual assistants, entrepreneurs can streamline operations and enhance productivity. VAs bring specialized skills and expertise to the table, enabling businesses to access high-quality talent without the overhead costs associated with traditional hiring processes. This allows entrepreneurs to allocate resources more efficiently and focus their efforts on strategic initiatives that drive business growth.

Reducing Costs and Overhead Expenses:

Outsourcing core business functions to VAs offers significant cost savings compared to hiring in-house employees. With virtual assistants, businesses can avoid expenses such as employee benefits, office space, and equipment, leading to substantial cost reductions. Moreover, VAs often work on a flexible contract basis, allowing businesses to scale their operations up or down as needed without the financial burden of permanent hires.

Maintaining Focus on Core Business Objectives:

By delegating time-consuming tasks to virtual assistants, entrepreneurs can maintain focus on their core business objectives. Outsourcing administrative and operational responsibilities to VAs frees up valuable time and mental energy, enabling business owners to concentrate on strategic decision-making and business development. This results in increased productivity, innovation, and overall business success.

Tailored Training and Seamless Integration:

One of the key advantages of working with virtual assistants is the ability to train them according to your specific preferences and requirements. Unlike hiring locally, where onboarding and training processes can be time-consuming and costly, training a VA to handle core business functions is often more straightforward and efficient. Business owners can provide tailored instructions and guidance, ensuring that tasks are performed to their exact specifications.

Embracing Growth Opportunities with Confidence:

As businesses grow and evolve, the need for scalable and flexible solutions becomes increasingly important. Virtual assistants offer entrepreneurs the flexibility to adapt to changing business needs without the constraints of traditional employment models.
