How to Build Your Team to Scale Your Airbnb Business

When Eric and I started building an Airbnb business together, our hiring process was arbitrary. We would recognize the fact that we needed help, reach out to our network and then hire the first person available.

We didn’t have clear expectations around what the role would entail. It was impossible to hold team members accountable or help them improve.

On this episode of Get Paid for Your Pad, Eric and I explain how creating a job score card for each role, giving an example of how we use key performance indicators (or KPIs) to hold everyone accountable—from our cleaners to the CEO.

Listen in for insight on what you need to know about yourself before you start hiring and learn how the ‘hire slow, fire fast’ approach will help YOU find the right team members to scale your Airbnb business!
