Summary: As a second-generation florist, Alexandra Scholtz has so much insight to share with the floral industry, and today we’re focusing on what it takes to create a team. When you’re choosing a team, what do you look for and how do you know if it’s a good fit? Here are a few things Alexandra keeps in mind when hiring employees: - Ensure all employees receive training - Hire your weaknesses - Bring people on who understand the behind-the-scenes aspect of the floral industry - Be sure your team can receive constructive criticism You’ll also hear all about Wildflora Design’s unique business model as Alexandra walks us through the Wildflora shop. From the smell of refillable candles and fresh flowers to the absolute abundance in each display, Wildflora truly captures the traditional flower shop model with a modern twist (and brightly colored walls!). Finally, Alexandra shares a few recent magic moments with flowers and gives heartfelt encouragement to all of us in the industry. Tune in and receive the warmth and love she has to offer. Wildflora is on a journey to highlight natural beauty through their assorted services and goods, ranging from floral design to home décor and plants.
