    06/09/2023 Duración: 18min

    How much can you earn running a home staging business? Jake, co-owner of Foxy Home Staging is going to do his best to answer that question. In the process of doing so he’s going to go into a fair bit of detail around things like how much of every dollar that comes in is spent on wages, new stock and rent. Not only does he answer that from what it looks like today, 6 years into the business, he breaks it down at the different stages or lifecycles so no matter where you are at in your home staging journey, hopefully you’ll find something relevant to you. Now it’s all well and good that we have a warehouse, a team, our own trucks, but what about the solo or smaller staging businesses out there who rent their furniture from a third party and pay contract logistics teams - well you’re in luck because Jake touches on this too. Jake finishes the episode by talking about when you should hire your first or next employee and what sort of hire is most important. Questions? Let us know! Thanks for listening.
