ADU 01073: How Do I Hire the Right Employee for My Drone Business? - a podcast by Drone U

How to Build a Dream Team and Scale Up Your Drone Business



Today's show is about hiring the right employee who can help you scale up your drone business.



On past ADU shows, we have discussed how you set up an LLC FOR your drone business. Our caller for today, Tom has a question about scaling up his drone business.Tom is a busy drone pilot who is finding it incredibly difficult to devote time to tasks like marketing and customer service. Needless to say, neglecting these aspects of his business is seriously impacting Tom's long-term prospects.



So, should Tom hire an employee and who can handle some of this workload? If yes, should he hire a full-time employee? Or, is it better to start with a part-time contractor? We explore the pros and cons of both these options. We also share how you can conduct a proper cost-benefit analysis which shall enable you to take correct and impactful business decisions. Listening to this show will particularly help those who are struggling to scale up their drone business.Thanks for the excellent question, Tom. Fly Safe!
