How To Run a

[@samichymes8745]

Hi guys, I totally enjoyed listening to you guys. I'd like to know how you manage your artisans. For example, do the artisans run the estimates for you, or do they do the job and pay you a commission. What's the model like?

Thanks for taking the time to comment. Typically, the artisans are handled a lot like they are being dispatched, so all of the estimates will run through a center source. However, this is also contextual, as some businesses may in fact run it by having them do the jobs and then taking a flat rate, either per job, per week, or per month. I think the model will depend on just how big you are. If you're a smaller operation then it may be best to take that flat commission, because then you aren't worrying about an extra middle person running between you and the worker.
