What it takes to build the right team with Ali Raymer
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Ali Raymer spent nine years building her business at Picture This Travel before launching her own agency, Peace & Pearl Travel Co. In this episode, she breaks down what it actually takes to find, hire, and train the right people, starting with her very first hire (a former student) and the unconventional paths several of her other advisors took to get there.
She also shares the harder lessons: the traits she actually looks for before bringing someone on, why giving away the leads she wasn't passionate about ended up growing her business, and how she built an onboarding system that lets new advisors ramp up without her having to be in the room for every conversation.
Plus, how her team stays connected day to day, and why the right tools (including Travefy) matter more once you're not the only one running the show.
If you've ever thought about building a team, whether that means growing where you are or eventually starting your own agency, this one's for you.
