Last week, we aired the first part of a 2-part interview with Peira Moinester, the co-founder of Brooklyn Music Factory.

She shared quite a bit about BMF’s overall hiring strategy.

In today’s episode, Peira reveals the specific details of BMF’s hiring strategy.

This is more of a “how to” episode… which I know our listeners love.

To this day, we still receive comments and emails about our sales process episode…

So – I think you’re really going to love the practical advice that Peira gives in this episode.
