Biggest Takeaways from Kerry:
“It is a business, I do a service I get paid for it. It’s not a hobby.”
“Just because you’re in a home, you’re not doing any less work than someone that’s got a posh spa or a beautiful salon. You can still make your home look beautiful for people and still provide a topnotch service. ”
“When you work for yourself, what you earn is what you get although you have costings obviously but you do earn more. Can’t deny it, it’s your way, your rules.”
“On Pricing: Don’t undersell yourself.”
“Social media is huge. You need to get yourself on social media to get people into your business.”
“Just think outside the box. Don’t be afraid to approach people, to collaborate with people so you’re seen as the beauty expert in your area.”
“You got to get yourself out there and be seen as the expert.”
“I think it is your duty to educate people to use this stuff and be passionate about what you sell. Don’t bother selling stuff that you don’t believe in.”
Five Top Tips to 5 Star Your Home Salon or Spa by Kerry:
- Your Five Star Customer Experience starts right at the beginning at the initial contact.
- You need to pay attention to every tiny detail
- If you go out and think of three businesses you think that give outstanding customer service…then think what you can copy and implement in your own business.
- Make sure that you’re getting in contact with clients…48 hours after their treatment.
- Just send out a handwritten card with a “Thank You” on.
