When you find yourself needing to hire a coach/consultant or service provider, do you really know what to look for? 

We can get so caught up in the hype of social media, marketing materials and FOMO that our judgement can get skewed around exactly where our dollars and time is going. 

There are 3 things I always consider before hiring someone. 

1. What are my expectations. Defining your expectations are imperative. If you are looking to be inspired and motivated or wanting to make real change and get how to's those are very different outcomes. Be sure that whoever you are choosing to hire has clearly laid out what you can expect to gain by working with them. 

It is equally important to define your expectations as well as know the expectations of who you are hiring. 

2. Define your core values. You need to be sure of what your non-negotiables are when working with someone. What is the MOST important to you? Honesty, integrity, connection, efficiency etc. Knowing what you stand for makes it much easier to find the right fit. 

Whoever you choose to hire must match your core values. If they don't you will be left disappointed. 

3. Be ready to invest both time and financially. NO ONE should ever tell you that you need to take out a loan, open a credit card or borrow money for their program. That is a blatant RED FLAG for their intentions are about money not about serving you. 

You need to assess your options and ask about what options you have for financing. You need to be ready and willing to not only invest financially but also invest your time. 

Going back to expectations you want to be clear about the financial and time expectations. 

I hope these tips will help you find clarity and take a step back when hiring the next person that you need! 

And remember, looking at things from a consumer perspective will always help you become a better sales person and communicator. This is how we put ourselves in our prospects' shoes.
