Who the Heck is Kurt Linneman?

Kurt Linneman, owner and founder of Have Perfect People has owned and operated a labor-intensive small business- Crocodile Catering- for 20 years. "Labor-intensive" is the do or die term here. Kurt came to recognize a few years back that MBAs and business experience didn't help much when it came to finding, hiring, and maintaining the kind of staff he needed.

During the struggle to find and keep the best people he could find, Kurt developed his method used in the "Have Perfect People" program -- a simple, fast, do-it-yourself way of solving all those hiring, firing, and training problems - for once and for all.

Here is what Kurt
has to say:

"When I finally broke the code on hiring and training superstar talent, I was amazed at how much easier everything became. I finally had superstars in my business motivated to get the work done with zero drama and total focus on increasing the bottom line. And I didn't have to be there every second of the day cracking the whip.

My managers' lives improved too. They needed something that would work fast in the heat of battle. They didn't have time to attend three day seminars and focus groups. They just wanted to learn how to do the hiring and firing quickly and easily."

Making life easier for himself and his managers was not the only outcome. Like any other business owner, Kurt needed to make a profit. Back in 2002, he installed his system into one of his businesses - Crocodile Catering - and sales jumped 197% in three short years. He was able to jettison his mediocre employees in his restaurant and trade them in for superstars. And even though he was doing an extra $25,000/week in sales, he didn't have to add any extra bodies.

Kurt is one of the most down to earth guys you'll ever meet in business. He has a knack for getting right at the heart of your most pressing employee issues and offering simple staffing solutions that you can put to work today. He brings an edginess and street-savvy to his work that actually makes hiring, training... and even firing :) your people fun.

"Kurt was so generous with his inside information and I received so many great ideas on how to strengthen my team's attitudes and productivity. Thank you very much."

If any of these people sound like you... then we should talk.

The "Mr. Nice Guy" small business owner who has tried being nice and has found that his employees take advantage of him at every turn. I can show you how to make them obey your rules. My system is fair and logical so you won't have to feel like Attila the Hun.

Lucky-- and very smart-- new-comers who want to utilize the full force of veteran experience (I just wish I would’ve had the option of hiring me when I started my small business).
 
Anyone who believes that employee problems are just the nature-of-their particular industry (fitness clubs, customer service, manual labor, etc.). One guy recently told me "The kinds of people I have to hire are just like that." 

The small business owner who has lost his life (while his employees dance and play). Yeah, you've made some money, but at what cost?
 
The idealistic, confused optimist who knows things should be better in their small business, but can’t put their finger on it. (Because I’ve been doing this for so long, I can spot the solution to your employee problems in minutes.)

If any of these people sound like you, read on.

You probably have come with me this far because you suspect that your employees are the biggest problem in your small business. But you still aren’t 100% sure.

To help you determine if your employees are the biggest problem in your small business, I have developed a Small Business Staffing Scorecard. It will only take you five minutes to fill out and when you are done you will know whether or not staffing is the biggest problem in your small business.
