If you set them as percentage (50% of clients to buy a product) rather than dollars then you have a tool to measure any sized clientele.<\/li>\n<li>Figures reflect actions, your salon software reports will help you to identify the individual strengths and weaknesses within your team. This creates a valuable \u201croad map\u201d for coaching.<\/li>\n<li>\u201cI don\u2019t pay good wages because I have a lot of money; I have a lot of money because I pay good wages\u201d is a quote by\u00a0Robert Bosch. Your team needs to be rewarded for their efforts. If you don\u2019t already have a bonus\/commission structure in place then you need to implement one, mentor your team to help them achieve and you will have a happy motivated staff and happy loyal clients.<\/li>\n<li>You need to talk to your team one on one each week for 15 mins, review the last weeks performance, coach them on how to improve their weakest benchmark and set that as a focus for the upcoming week.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Creating an awesome team culture where people are rewarded for their client journey focus and working smarter not harder is now a key to growing a successful salon. Now more than ever you need to step out from behind your chair and set aside time to mentor your team, it\u2019s vital to the future of your business!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Being a small to medium sized business owner generally means there are always lots of plates to spin \u2026.. just when you have one area of your business whizzing around another starts to wobble and so your focus moves to that plate before it topples.
