To break through revenue plateaus and scale to eight figures, ecommerce businesses must strategically restructure their teams and processes. This episode outlines a two-pronged approach focusing on product fulfillment and pre-sale ecommerce operations, emphasizing key hiring criteria for growth-oriented roles.
Key takeaways
Identify your company's core divisions (e.g., product/fulfillment and pre-sale/ecommerce) to create a focused restructuring plan.
Prioritize hiring for individuals with direct experience in managing Amazon and Shopify stores to support marketplace and platform growth.
Look for candidates who are strong communicators and fast learners, capable of quickly adapting to new tools and strategies within a dynamic ecommerce environment.
Consider candidates who are open to relocation or already local, as geographic proximity can foster better team cohesion and efficiency.
When hiring, seek individuals with content management skills to support product development and pre-sale marketing efforts.
Today I want to talk about the direction the company is taking and how I plan to keep up with it. We have really plateaued as a company, and part of that is because we don't have the manpower. We need some new structure. I have decided to take a two-prong approach to restructuring things. The two sides of the business are: The product side or "getting the product to our customers." The eCommerce side - email marketing, promotions, product development, and generally everything pre-sale. Hopefully, this new structure will help us get to an eight figures status. If you know someone who is kind of a "techie" person, then contact me at mike@terran.com. I would like a resume or a letter telling me why you are the best fit for the company. The things I'm looking for in a new hire are as follows: Able to relocate or already living in the San Diego area. Understands and knows how to manage content. Experience in eCommerce is super important. You need to know how to run Amazon and Shopify stores. A fast learner who can pick up on the stuff they don't know. A good communicator, so that we can be more efficient. <li style="fon
