Every owner in your audience has a Larry.

Larry is the smooth-talking candidate who said everything you want to hear in an interview, but now he is on day 61 of his 90-day probation - he still can't follow the opening checklist, and the owner is covering for him again.

Your members didn't hire Larry because they're careless. They hired him because they were desperate; he seemed delightful, said all of the right things, and he could start Monday.

$23,000

The 90-day average cost of one mishire: wasted wages, payroll taxes, training time, and negative impact on customers.

1 in 7

Applicants is a potential 5-Star Fit. Most owners choose from three.

3 for 1

It takes three okay-ish employees to do the work of one 5-Star Employee.

That isn't a people problem. It's a process problem,
and a process can be taught in a keynote.

The keynote

HIRING MAGIC: How to build a dream team of 5-Star Employees

Magic is the possibility of the impossible. For most business owners, a team that runs without them feels exactly that impossible. AC shows them the method behind the trick.

Your members leave able to:

1.

Set the bar.

Define a 5-Star Fit for any role before the job post goes up.

2.

Stack the deck.

Use the 1-in-7 rule to build an applicant pool with the right hire in it. Thirty-five applicants means five potential 5-Star Fits.

3.

Run the gauntlet.

Replace the 15-minute gut-feel interview with objective filters: an assessment, a skills test, a deep-dive interview and a paid Test Drive Day.

4.

Never settle.

Heed the red flags, drop the 90-day probation gamble, and stop hiring whoever would be fun to have a beer with.

What they take home

The 5-Star Employee Scorecard

Every attendee downloads it during the keynote and starts filling it in before they leave their seat.

“If you want to be a 5-Star company, delivering 5-Star service, you are not going to accomplish that with mediocre, 3-Star employees.”

The 5-Star Employee Scorecard

Core Values

True 100% of the time, so new hires think and act like the owner.

The 11 Universal Qualities

A litmus test for every candidate. Limber and Listen are non-negotiable.

Aptitudes & Skills

Nine to thirteen per role, ranked by importance and tested, not taken on trust.

Key Responsibilities & Success Metrics

Three to five per role, each with a number attached.

3.5X Return on Payroll

A $50,000 salary should produce $175,000 in positive impact on revenue.
