The HyperFast Agent Podcast

In this episode of the "Hyperfast Agent Show," Dan Lesniak introduces Jamie Bascom, the Chief Operating Officer of the Keri Shull Team. With extensive experience in hiring over 200 real estate agents across various teams, Jamie shares her insights on identifying successful hires. She discusses common hiring challenges, such as uncertainty about the first hire and overcoming limiting beliefs about delegation. Jamie emphasizes the importance of hiring producers first to duplicate existing systems and processes, and the benefits of bringing on agents and inside sales associates (ISAs) simultaneously. She advises on compensating ISAs, either part-time or full-time, and stresses the importance of accountability and mastering scripts for effective training. Furthermore, Jamie highlights the significance of delegation, advising leaders to hire individuals who complement their weaknesses. She concludes by addressing efficient recruiting strategies, including clear job descriptions and the right channels for posting job ads, while underscoring the need to be slow in hiring but quick to fire, ensuring cultural fit and overall team harmony.
