Who was the first business team member you took on?

As we grow and things get a little more hectic I am contemplating some sort of assistant to help with marketing, daily tasks like phone calls, acquisitions, etc. So my question is who did you hire first in your biz and what things did they do? How did you work out compensation, did you pay per hour, or did they get a commission of sorts? Has anyone taken on a realtor to work for them doing marketing/aquisitions? If you have how were they compensated? Was it someone with experience or someone you trained? Just trying to figure out the next step...right now it is primarily my husband and I and we have a realtor, who is not in our biz,but assists us with finding properties.
