Episode notes
Only Expand From A Self-Sufficient Core
- Ensure your core market is self-sufficient and the playbook is proven before expanding.
- Test recruiting and marketing in advance and invest cash to burn capital for reliable launches.
Seed Branches With Relocated Talent
- Expect lead sources to vary by market; use old-school lead generation alongside aggregators.
- Relocate proven employees to seed culture instead of hiring every branch from scratch.
Branch Economics Should Drive Design
- Design branch size by realistic local opportunity: $12M or $24M per branch depending on density.
- Build staffing and lead-generation models around those size targets.
