5 Signs You Need to Hire More People to Run Your Business

August 2, 2013 by Atul Kumar Pandey

Are you a new business owner in well over your head? Are you trying to run a business with too few people, while working long hours yourself? Growth within a company is always a good sign, but if you don’t have the resources at hand to take care of the requests of your customers then you might be in for a lot of headaches and lot more work. There comes a time when you need to hire more people to run your business in order to keep up the quality of your product or service as well as the satisfaction of your customer.

Hire More People

The first sign that you need to hire more people to run your business is if you are working every day of the week. There are times when we need to sacrifice some of our time to make sure that everything is running smoothly at work, but when you are spending every day on the job you are probably in over your head and could use some help. Though it may not always be the case, working every day of the week is a good warning sign that you need to be able to hand off some of your responsibilities.

The next sign that you need to hire more people to run your business is if you can’t remember the last time you took a vacation. You need to have people who work for you and who you can trust to do the job right the first time. If you have too few employees or employees that you can’t trust then you might want to hire someone else to take over the position so that you wont have to worry about that aspect of the job. Then you can take some time out of your stressful work life to have a refreshing vacation.

Another sign that you need to hire more people to run your business is if you are focusing too much time or effort into one aspect of the business. If you have a very simple business structure then this may not be a problem, but for many managers or business owners this may be a sign that you need to hire a specialist or someone who has more experience in that portion of the job. Rather than spending the time it takes to learn a new procedure or process you can hire someone who will do it better and more efficiently than you can.

An easy to spot sign that you need to hire more people to run your business is if your customers are leaving unsatisfied or are not returning. In order to maintain your business you need to have customers who return with frequency and buy what you are selling. If you find that many of your customers are not returning or you only really have new customers who are buying your goods you may want to assess whether that has to do with the service that is being provided and if you need to hire more people to more effectively serve the customer.

Finally, if you are having complaints from customers about shipping or other logistical services then it might be time to outsource that portion of your business. Shipping can be very complicated if you have never worked with logistics before, and it is much easier to hire out to take care of your inventory and logistical needs. This will give you more time to focus on your customers and what is really important to the business.
