Yeah the bus is full!<\/strong>\u00a0You have lots of clients in your chairs, your stylists are predominantly booked 80+% of their time, yet that bottom line is still not healthy, the average ticket price needs to grow and you have no more stations to add service providers. What do you do? Where do you go when there is not enough time to upsell services?<\/p>\n

Some may think this is a great problem to have but it can be a dilemma as you look at those Profit and Loss statements and the growth is just not there.<\/p>\n

There are really only 2 ways to grow in this situation. Either you upsell specific items, or you increase your prices.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut\u201d, I hear you say, \u201cwe are fully booked with back to back clients, there is no time for extra services.\u201d Okay, I heard that, however now is the time to get creative and figure out services that can be done at the same time as the appointment with little product outlay or time needed. Get your team together and start a list of all those little things that can add up to big dollars.<\/p>\n
