Jack Butala: Jack Butala here for Land Academy, welcome to our Cash Flow From Land show. In this episode Jill and I talk about what we look for in a new hire employee. Hey Jill.
Jill DeWit: Hi.
Jack Butala: I bet we differ on this, like most of these shows.
Jill DeWit: I'm sure we do.
Jack Butala: I think this is so important because, and I'll just be upfront about it, new hire employees have completely different skills and traits than really good Land Academy members, I think, but let's start with your top few traits.
Jill DeWit: Okay. What's funny is I think that you're going to be surprised by mine. I'll just tell you. I look for three things, and yes I took notes again before the show by the way.
Jack Butala: Oh my gosh. It's like we have a real show.
Jill DeWit: I was here in my sit early. Early in my sit, headphones on, ready to go, smile on my face.
Jack Butala: Sometimes working with Jill is like herding cats.
Jill DeWit: That is perfect. I would have to agree with you on that.
Jack Butala: But that's why you're so successful at the stuff that you're responsible for.
Jill DeWit: Herding cats, oh my goodness. You've never said that to me and that's great.
Jack Butala: Again, it's a compliment.
Jill DeWit: Thank you.
Jack Butala: I'll tell you, there's been some rough ... Let me tell the truth, we've had some moments.
Jill DeWit: You laugh about it now, like we were laughing about it a while back.
Jack Butala: We have had some moments in the office together and it's all because of this I decided, Jill and I have always wanted the same thing, always. Long term, short term, I think really in the real root of it. But like everybody we go about it a little bit differently. You've got to stick with and iron out those differences, and what ended up happening with you and I ... This is so off topic in the first thirty seconds. What ended up happening with you and I is I think we just took a look at the responsibilities that have to go on and we gave the stuff to you that you shine at naturally, and all the other stuff fell me and I delegate it when I need to and do the stuff that I need to. That, at that moment it really seemed to work well.
Jill DeWit: For me it was not only dividing up the responsibilities but leaving each other alone about them.
Jack Butala: Yeah.
Jill DeWit: I know the things that you're good that, I have no business weighing in on it, none.
Jack Butala: Yeah just trust.
Jill DeWit: Letting it go.
Jack Butala: I mean you're great with.
Jill DeWit: [inaudible 00:02:34]
Jack Butala: I can reel it off but ...
Jill DeWit: Thanks.
Jack Butala: You're great with customers, any place where's there's customer, any kind of human contact you're awesome at that.
Jill DeWit: Thank you.
Jack Butala: I'm better at ... Never mind.
Jill DeWit: Here's an example. Here's one little thing too. My office is open,
