Build Your Salon with Phil Jackson

Here to help salon owners master the skills they need for bigger profits and a fuller life.

Rank #1: 31. How to set Targets for your Salon Team.
Welcome, and today we’re talking about individual team member targets. What I’m going to share with you is three targets that I set my own team here, in my award winning Salon. Now it may well be that there are times when you need to add more targets, and that varies according with the performance of the employee and also the stage of the career they are at. It’s really important that your team know what’s expected of them. So these are the big three that I want to share with you:Average bill - Average bill or average ticket value is one of the most important key performance indicators or KPI’s in your Salon. An average bill covers an awful lot, so if you can see that someone’s average bill is very low, there are parts of her job that she’s just not doing. An average bill that’s on the increase indicates somebody who’s taking retail seriously or that’s also very good at selling additional products or services when somebody comes in to your Salon. So you want to see a nice high average bill, set a benchmark for the level that the person is at in their career and also monitor it over time. Retention - I think client count is slightly old fashioned and what I’m more interested in is retention for this reason; I can increase your client count by promotional activity and I will see a bump in the number of customers that come into the Salon. The retention rate shows me how pleased my customers are with the Stylists or Therapists performance, so that’s what I’m interested in. If you’re starting to see retention on the slide, you need to intervene really quickly because somebody with very low retention is not an asset to your business. Utilisation - This is how busy a person is, how much of the day that you’re paying them for are they actually occupied making you money. The reason we look at utilisation is because your marketing activity has a huge impact on utilisation of your team, but it may not be impacting on the average bill. Utilisation can be impacted purely by the marketing spend that you’re putting into your business. So we monitor the utilisation, if you’ve got somebody who has continually low utilisation despite your marketing efforts, again perhaps you need to address that in a slightly more aggressive way, it may even be that it’s time to move that person on. In my Salon we have two bench marks for utilisation; we have an eighty percent target utilisation. Below sixty percent we have what is called an intervention. If there’s still a problem with utilisation after six weeks of intervention, we would start looking at your contract and potentially reducing your hours in a hope to increase that utilisation number.I hope that’s been useful to you, if you’ve got something that you’d like to add either pop it in the comments below or head over to the Build Your Salon Facebook page where I would love to hear from you. I hope you’ve already subscribed, if you haven’t hit subscribe now. I have a video and a podcast out like this every single Monday, and I would hate you to miss out on the content that I share with you in the future. Until next week, take care.

Rank #2: 45. The most important measure for salon success.
The free cheat sheet is here: http://bit.ly/2kbMoRQHello and welcome, and it’s that time of the year again. I thought it was good timing for me to share what I think is the one most important measure for measuring the success of a member of your team. The one measure that I’m going to share with you today that I think is vital, is called utilisation. Essentially how busy one member of your team is. Some Salon coaches around the world, will say that the average bill is the most important measure, and I don’t think that’s correct. We’ve had turn our marketing into a machine for a successful Salon, and that involves running promotions, discounts or a loyalty programme. So, average bill will look a little bit more negative, utilisation will show us how busy somebody is. The other measure is the amount of money they’re putting in the till. Your service total or your service and retail total, isn’t necessarily a great measure of how brilliant a Stylist or Therapist is. The other problem with using service and retail totals, is that when someone goes on holiday, it hits they’re totals hard. Utilisation takes that into account, because what we’re measuring how many hours were utilised putting money in the till. Now what I would like you to do is figure out what the consequences of somebody not hitting a target is. In my Salon, we have a target of eighty percent utilisation. If your utilisation drops below seventy percent, we start having weekly marketing meetings. If your utilisation drops below sixty percent I will be reducing the hours that you are contracted for, two hours come off your contracted hours. If somebody is a brand-new starter, I build in a target for them to move up. I would give them three months to hit target utilisation, if they’re brand new you have six months to hit those targets. If they’re not hitting those targets, we reserve the right to terminate your employment in that instance. That’s the consequence that I have in my Salon, and it’s important that you have those consequences build in. I hope that’s been useful to you, it will be more useful if you build in the consequences in. If you’ve enjoyed the video, then please don’t forget to subscribe. I do a broadcast like this every single week and I would hate you to miss out on the content that I’m sharing. If you’ve already subscribed I will see you again next week. Take care.

Rank #1: The Salon Owners Guide to Med-Spa Start Up.
If you are curious about how you can grow the SPA area of your company, we invite you to have a one hour SPA coaching call with Victoria Perry! Let her answer YOUR questions and guide your spa towards success. Sign up below: Name* First Last Email* Salon Name*Location** I am the salon owner jQuery(document).bind('gform_post_render', function(event, formId, currentPage){if(formId == 38) {} } );jQuery(document).bind('gform_post_conditional_logic', function(event, formId, fields, isInit){} ); jQuery(document).ready(function(){jQuery(document).trigger('gform_post_render', [38, 1]) } ); By, Victoria Perry *Podcast available below* Let’s face it, literally, the “Fountain of Youth” or “Magic Potion” to completely reverse aging skin is still a mythical, urban legend. In the arena of cosmetic injections, laser, peels and active cosmeceuticals, it can be quite overwhelming on how to begin a start-up of a Med-Spa department in your salon company. Depending on how extensive you want to develop your service menu, there are certain factors that must be in place to ensure success.  What is a Medical Director and do I need one?  Medical Directors are licensed physicians who oversee proper training and implementation of advanced corrective skincare services within a Med-Spa department. Typically, a Medical Director is a Plastic Surgeon or Dermatologist who is looking to expand their outreach to new guests within a salon and spa company. Partnering with a salon and spa company, can result in a great referral relationship for the Medical Director. Defining services that can be performed within your Cosmetology or Esthetic License Scope of Practice will be the first step in deciding if you need to partner with a Medical Director and how active your Medical Director will be in your company.  What are different services? Chemical peel The depth of a chemical peel ranges from very superficial to deep. Very superficial chemical peels affect the outer layer of the skin and can be performed within in most scope of practices without a Medical Director. However, the deeper the peel goes, the more active it is and this is where a gray area begins on who can perform the chemical peel. Microneedle and Lasers for hair removal or skin rejuvenation These services can achieve great results in correcting skin concerns. In some states, those services must be performed by the Medical Director or RN/LPN. Regulations are changing constantly, to protect yourself and your investment, always contact your state board to ensure you are servicing within your scope of practice  Botox and Fillers Botox and Fillers may only be performed by a licensed medical professional. If this is a service you are wanting to offer to your guests, start with a “Botox Happy Hour” event. This is a great way to introduce your Medical Director to your guests and is an opportunity for consultations on advanced cosmetic procedures. During this event, demo new corrective skin services and provide complimentary skin analysis’ to help prescribe the best at home product regimen for their skin with call to action offers. How do you Get Started? Define your brand to target your consumer. Do you live in an area that is savvy on advanced corrective skincare? Is there a potential Medical Director that you can see yourself partnering with? Remember, this is another business relationship that will need to time to foster and develop. How much liability or investment do you want to take on to venture in this new department? Start with a simple service menu of chemical peels that may be performed within your scope of practice. Chemical peel formulations now are very effective even at a minimal invasive approach. Educate your service providers so they are skillfully trained to help ensure success in the treatment room. Partner with professional brands that will help support training with your service providers and help market your new services to your guests. At SSBC, we are excited to have a Med-Spa specialist on the consulting team to help you develop your new service department. Contact vperry@summitsalon.com for more information. What do you think?

For all the links, visit the show notes page: Click here! Biggest Takeaways from Katt: “I had learned probably from watching my old boss just how important it was to create a relationship and I just couldn’t leave it so that’s why I started it.” “My business, I hit six-figures in the first eight months of  being on business. I don’t really know what happened and I think it has less to do with me and I think it has more to do with the amazing men and women that come in into my business everyday.” “Everything that we do is different for everybody that comes in.” “Probably what I draw on more than anything else is my schooling in Philosophy. Because in Philosophy, there’s a right ,a wrong and a middle and I think beauty is absolutely that. There’s a left, a right and a middle and the truth is always in the middle. So I think I use that, I mean everyday with every person.” “With my clients, I don’t do a lot of add-ons. I have a one-price facial. I really have no menu. My menu says it’s your first time in or you’ve just been with me forever. We do just exactly what’s right for your skin every time. And it’s always a conversation.” “The first time you come in to see me, you’re my client. The second time you come to see me, you’re my friend. The third time you come to see me, if you have no place to go at Christmas, you have a place on my table and that’s how I run everything with everyone that walks into my clinic’s doors.” “I think if you treat people the way you would your favorite person in your family, they’ll do the same for you and so that’s been the huge portion of it.” “I can’t survive if I’m your dirty little secret. People need to know about me and it’s really amazing, I think that people love seeing businesses grow when you’re really trying and you’re honest about these are things that you really need. I think that humans will like to raise each other up, makes us feel good.” “If you help someone out build their own empire, they’ll help build yours.” “I realized that free doesn’t mean free to anybody, it means it is not good enough.” “If you have something that’s worth a $100 and you sell it for $50, that’ll never be worth a hundred dollars ever again.” “I would say that I think it’s really important  to apprentice and work underneath someone else before you try to go off on your own as well. And when you do go off on your own, there’s no need to burn a bridge.” Episode Highlights: Take On Working with Clients (13:20) Starting Grafin Skin And Beauty (16:03) Katt’s Journey As A One-Woman Salon (16:51) Services Offered at Grafin Skin And Beauty (19:42) Bespoke and Tweaking (23:23) Having No Menu (26:15) Ways To Get New Clients (28:32) Effective Client Getting Strategy that Started with a Lollipop (37:12) Referrals and Reviews (43:11) Advice For Those in the Health and Beauty Industry  (50:19) This Episode is brought to you by: This episode of The Beauty Business Podcast was supported by Kabbage.com.

Your unending support, feedback and comments for this podcast is truly appreciated! We’ve been graced by some wonderful experts from the health and beauty industry that have inspired and taught us so much that some of the episodes in this season have been labeled ‘’mini-masterclasses.” It’s my mission to bring you the best person with the knowledge and expertise on these each of the topics we discuss on the show and  hope that you all have learned a lot in the past few weeks AND you are implementing it in your business! Remember “KNOWLEDGE without ACTION is USELESS!” OK . . back to our season finale… If you’ve found it difficult to find the right person to join your team recently, you’re not alone.  It appears that there’s a shortage of quality talent in the industry. Shocking!

Let’s give it up for Stefania Rossi, who is an expert in the recruitment process as she has over 15 years of experience in recruitment and someone who has proven it’s possible to take a failing salon with a demotivated team and turn it in to an award winning business . . . in just 2 years.
