Hire people who are excited to try ideas other than their own. Great post, and an amazing story. (Were you able to hide your surprise the moment Denise revealed her thoroughness? Or did you promote her on the spot?) =) j. #3. Hire people who are excited to try ideas other than their own.

I do hear the spectrum of complaints to compliments on our team... and I can tell you that this team generates well above average compliements! Konrad, this is a great point. I meant this in #3, but it doesn't come across. I didn't like #3 b/c of the length. Maybe this would be a better one... 3. Hire people that get excited by a problem with a spectrum of 180 deg in solutions/reasons. That one is still long, but I do like that it gets across the diversity (180 deg) and being excited (vs frustrated) by it. What do y'all think? Lindsay and Jay, thanks for adding your experience.

MARX maybe a fourth point could be added: Hire people that are able to change their perspective by 180 degree. “Hmm… that’s a funny post…” - K. MARX

I just wanted to echo your comments - I think that the customer service team at Spreadshirt is amazing. Each time I talk with someone from customer service I am amazed at how thoughtful they are about helping to solve the problem or about thinking through how we can simplify processes so that we avoid a problem or customer issue. I think this is really important, especially now that many companies make it so difficult to even speak with a customer service representative. Jana, thanks for this post.
