Hey, my friend, this is Sid Graef here. The Huge Insider is the show for home service professionals who are striving to break the million-dollar revenue mark. If that's you, you're in the right place, and if you're already over a million dollars in revenue, you're gonna get even more out of this show. So why is this the show? Well, there are a lot of people online and around the world with big opinions and very little experience. There are even some fake gurus out there. We want to help you skip the BS and get real wisdom from real, experienced business builders. So we’ve gathered wisdom and insight directly from seven- and eight-figure business owners—people running companies doing anywhere from 2 million a year to 40 million a year, and some more—and we're bringing you their best insights, distilled and focused on a single topic each month. And these are real owners, no armchair philosophers or fake gurus. These are the ones that are quietly building empires behind the scenes. They're not on social media looking for attention; they’re in business making things happen. So last month we focused on hiring A-players. The whole month was about hiring. And this month we answer the question: What do you do once you hire the right person? You've got onboarding, pay structure, training, and more. So today we’re diving into training. We have a very special guest contributor, and that is Liz Trotter. Liz has been in business for almost three decades and owns a seven-figure house cleaning business as well as a training business, plus a large real estate portfolio. She’s been in the game for a long time, and she’s one of the best when it comes to onboarding and training your employees. She demystifies and simplifies the training process. But why is training for a new employee so important? Because the training establishes the foundation of how that person is going to operate and perform in your business, hopefully for a long, long time. So without further ado, let’s dive in. Meet Liz Trotter. Liz Trotter (Guest): Hey all. Liz here, and I have got some training tips for you. Now, I’m not going to tell you how to train your people—that’s up to you—but what I am going to talk to you about today is how to build some things into your training program so that you have more success, so that your people feel like they are very good at what they do. If people don’t feel like they’re good at what they’re doing, they’re not going to do good work, period. So you need to make them feel like they are doing good work. You need to also make them feel like they can do it, and that they’re very confident about how to get the job done. Now, these things sound really obvious, I know, but they don’t just happen automatically. And they don’t only happen because the person gets good at what they’re doing and then builds their own confidence. You already know that, right? There are some people who, no matter how well they’re doing, they always knock themselves, they always find something wrong. Your job is not to do that. Your job as the trainer—or to build a good training program—is to make sure that the training program is built so that it highlights what is going well and diminishes what is not going well. Now, it also has to be really clear how we are going to cut people, ...
