A costed plan for your first hires after the round: who, when, what each costs a month, the gap each one closes and the test that says the hire has worked.
One row per hire, in priority order. Employer on-costs are included in every monthly figure, and the cost-by-month line feeds the people section of your cash plan.
What’s inside
Hiring plan: the eight-row plan with the cost of each hire
Cost by month: 24 months of cost from each start month, with the line for your cash plan
Triggers: the four tests that say when each hire is due
Start here. Fill in the role, function, start month, base salary and commission for the first three hires, set the first month on the Cost by month tab, then answer the four Triggers tests.
