Marketing Manager @ Exit Five | The #1 community for B2B marketers

The Exit Five team has grown from 3 to 5 people today We hired for the following positions 1. Head of Content (Danielle Messler) 2. Operations Assistant (Anna Vermillion) It's still early, but I have a great feeling about both. I spoke to both (before they started) and got that feeling. When you know, you know. What's funny is that we weren't supposed to hire anyone this year, but we went and hired two people 😅 Which taught me a couple of lessons about hiring ➡ Hire when you have channels that are working We have community, podcast, newsletter, and LinkedIn (to name a few). It's impossible for one person to take them all on and make them great. These hires allow us to divide parts of the business between us and go deeper. ➡ Ride momentum Things are good right now. We're coming off a record month in pretty much every area of the business. And, since I started in Feb, things have been consistently getting better. We're leaning into our success and doubling down when the iron is hot. ➡ Don't hire someone to 'figure it out' for you No matter how experienced a new team member is, I don't think you should ever expect them to figure it all out. They are another player on the team and should simply be adding to the brainpower. It's not about putting them on their own specialized island and 'giving them the keys'. --- That's all. I'm super excited about Danielle and Anna starting today. It's a special day here at E5 🙂

Good lessons, I agree, plus now you get to go deep into membership and community world and that's a win-win-win (us-you-members)

So many congrats to E5 and the team, Matthew Carnevale. Let me know if you ever want to talk shop on hiring - it's what I do - and I'm here for it all day long. It's a blend of art and science, and there is rarely one right answer.
