We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Erin Stahla. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Erin below.

Erin, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Your ability to build a team is often a key determinant of your success as a business owner and so we’d love to get a conversation going with successful entrepreneurs like yourself around what your recruiting process was like -especially early on. How did you build your team?

In the early stages of building our team, the approach was quite personal. As the founder, my husband Grant began by reaching out to college friends who were interested in being a part of the company. This made the whole experience more collaborative and fun. The recruitment process was quite informal, focusing more on conversations about shared interests and a mutual enthusiasm for the project rather than formal interviews. This laid-back approach was instrumental in creating a positive and collaborative atmosphere, which proved to be a great way to introduce new team members to the business.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

How’d you meet your business partner?

Grant and I (Erin) first crossed paths on our very first date. It was a serendipitous encounter that would eventually lead to a partnership in both business and life.

During that initial date, we found ourselves talking about marketing, and that became a recurring theme throughout the evening and lead into us loving to be in business together. Our shared passion for the subject was immediately evident.

Our connection was strong, and it didn’t take long for our relationship to deepen. In just nine months, we not only fell in love but also decided to embark on a professional journey together. Grant’s entrepreneurial spirit and Erin’s expertise with a Chick-fil-A background created the perfect synergy. Erin’s involvement in the company since then has been instrumental in its growth and success. Our journey from that memorable first date to becoming both life partners and business partners is a testament to the power of shared passion and vision.

What’s been the most effective strategy for growing your clientele?

The most effective strategy for growing our clientele has been consistency and quality. By consistently delivering high-quality products, services, and experiences to our clients, we have built a reputation for reliability and excellence in our industry.

This commitment to quality not only satisfies our existing clients but also encourages them to recommend us to others. Word-of-mouth referrals have been a powerful driver of our client base expansion, as people trust the consistent quality we provide. Additionally, our dedication to maintaining and improving our standards over time has helped us retain long-term clients and attract new ones who value reliability and excellence.
