About this episode
We’re tackling a topic that’s near and dear to our hearts — how to avoid host burnout and take back your time. We’re joined by Rich Sippos, the Head of Sales at Extenteam, the industry’s first staffing-as-a-service company, offering a unique labor subscription model that extends local teams with professional global talent. Extenteam has an exciting new product, Tailwind, which features 24/7 guest communication for hosts.
Tailwind is a game-changer because it helps you provide an excellent customer experience — without needing to be constantly glued to your phone. Rich explains how Tailwind operates, how it supports hosts, and its affordable pricing structure. We also talk about tips for hiring a reliable team, solving pain points for hosts, and the secrets to preventing host burnout so you can optimize both your business and personal life.
