Re: Staffing your WISP
Our "staff" consists of 3 people. 2 of them only do the technical side, I.E. network admin., email servers, routing etc. When it comes to everything else, its my job.  . I just outsourced the billing to my wife, LOL, so that is one less thing I have to deal with. In my ideal setup, I would have it done the way kewlkid listed it AND an additional person for sales. As john Galt mentioned, I wear every hat we have, and that is getting old very quickly, as it does cut down on my effectiveness and the amount of time I have to spend on other issues. Finding someone who can handle each listed job is another problem, as evidenced by quite a few other threads about how to hire, and where to find competent people. We don't use contracts right now, but I am thinking about starting and then hiring a salesperson and paying them "X" amount of money based on the length of the contract they have signed. That way I am guaranteed a return over a 1 or 2 year period, and it would make the salesperson worthwhile. Any thoughts?

Thanks Everyone,
I was hoping to hear from John and cmaenginsb on this one, and thank you AMD Phreak!
It has definitly become time for us to start looking and building out and delagating the work. So I'm just exploring the different arrangements people have.
Sorry I didn't mention about the business side of things. (That's not my department  )
But I was just wondering on tech side how many different levels there were and what did they do and not do.
Thanks again!
P.S. What levels did you guys start to "build out" staff wise? Did you run things like that from the start? Or start out small and build up? If so around what levels did you take on new positions? |
