Summary

Hi, Calvin here from FullFind. I’m back!

In today’s newsletter, I’m going to talk about:

  • Top 5 unique interview questions to ask

  • How I added $7k MRR on autopilot using remote talent

  • and many many more…

Actionable Tip of the Day

Here are the top 5 interview questions you need to ask:

  1. Tell me about a time you were able to successfully deal with another person even when that individual may not have personally liked you (or vice versa). 

  2. Can you think of a specific example of what you have done to show your employer that you are more than an average employee? 

  3. Tell me about the most difficult task that you had to learn in one of your jobs in the past. What steps did you take to ensure you overcame this challenge? 

  4. Tell me about the best manager you’ve worked for. Why was he or she a good manager? What would your ideal boss look like? 

  5. Describe a problem you were recently asked to solve. What did you do? What alternatives did you consider?

Why I built FullFind (personal story of failures)

Deep Dive

I just got back from Bangkok and Bali. I was on vacation for 1.5 weeks. Hence I didn’t send in any newsletters last week (hopefully you missed me). Here’s a pic of me that you didn’t ask for:

The very very weird thing is, I added $11k/month in recurring revenue, while I was gone. Just looked at my phone, said ‘yeay!’ and got back to sipping Corona on a beach. How did I accomplish this?

Well, I had my client success manager reengage with 2 old clients to activate their video editing subscription with us. This is $7k/mo.

And I had my SDR book in 8 calls last week, where my closer closed 2 and 3 are pending for closes this week. This is $4k/mo.

In total, I generated $11k/mo last week while on a beach because of my employees.

The crazy thing about all of this?

All of these are remote talents that I pay no more than $12/hour.

The #1 thing I did to make sure these talents were compentent before I hired them was test their skills.

Client Sucess Manager: She scored 80%+ on tests for communication, problem solving, & verbal reasoning.

Closer: He did a mock sales call with me before I hired him.

SDR: I had her record a mock cold call before I even interviewed her.

Now combined, they made me money while I was on a beach somewhere.

It goes to show, if you hire the correct people, and have the correct hiring process, you can finally HAVE a business. Not be a glorified freelancer.
