In today’s episode, we’re talking about a critical decision every business owner has to make: hiring the best person for the job vs. hiring the right person for the job.

I’ll be sharing my top 3 pieces of advice to help you identify the right candidate for your team, so you can build a stronger, more cohesive workplace that drives growth:
Prioritize cultural fit over credentials: Why values and work ethic matter more than experience.
Focus on soft skills and growth potential: The importance of adaptability, communication, and learning potential.
Hire for where your business is going, not where it is today: How to future-proof your team for long-term success.
I also talk about the role a Fractional COO can play in streamlining this process and helping you make strategic decisions that align with your business goals. As a Fractional COO, I guide business owners in building teams that support sustainable growth.

In this episode, Pam explores a common misconception among business owners: Are likes and comments a true indicator of content effectiveness? She shares a real-life example of a prospect client who finds her LinkedIn content valuable but never engages with it publicly. This leads to an important conversation about focusing on the right metrics to measure success and how content can be working even if you don’t see it reflected in engagement.
Pam also highlights how having a Fractional COO can help ensure that your marketing strategy is not only implemented effectively but also aligned with your business goals.
If you’ve ever questioned whether your content is working because of low engagement, this episode is for you.
In this episode, Pam discusses:
Why likes and comments don’t always reflect content effectiveness. The importance of sharing valuable and educational content consistently. How being intentional with your content strategy drives better results. Why reach and impressions are better metrics to focus on than likes. The importance of online visibility in building your brand. How a Fractional COO can help guide your marketing and business strategy to ensure sustainable growth.Key Takeaways:
Content Value Over Engagement: Just because people aren’t liking or commenting doesn’t mean they aren’t paying attention. Keep sharing valuable content, and it will make an impact. Consistency is Key: Stay consistent with your content strategy to build trust and long-term success. Look at the Right Metrics: Focus on reach, impressions, and online visibility rather than just likes. These metrics better reflect the effectiveness of your content. Fractional COO Support: A Fractional COO provides essential guidance to ensure your marketing and business strategies are properly executed for growth.Quotes from the Episode:
“Likes and comments don’t always tell the full story. Your content could be making an impact even if it’s not obvious.” “A Fractional COO can help you see the bigger picture and ensure your marketing efforts are aligned with your business goals.”Episode Links:
