The High Performance Stylist Podcast

In the stock market world, they always talk of two different markets; The BULL market and the BEAR market.

The Bull market is when things are thriving, growing and everything is increasing in value. The Bear market is the downturn, when things are depreciating and loosing value.

The intresting thing is that following every Bear market comes the Bull market.

The service industry (salons included) have been in a Bear market since the beginning of Covid, we are all fully aware of this. BUT, we are at the start of the Bull market and new opportunites are popping up all over the place!

The question is, are you AWAKE to them?

In this episode I'll tell you about the opportunities I've personally been presented with and also the opportunities I'm seeing in the industry that you can tap into.

The person that runs our front desk (aka F.O.H) is one of the most important roles in our business and therefore one of the most important hires we can make.

So, why is it so difficult to find this person?

When I first started looking for this person for my salon it was like a revolving door of "hires & fires".

Infact it took 3 years before I finally hired the ROCK STAR I needed!

So how did I do it?

What changed and how did this person finally find me?

If you have been struggling to fill this key position in your salon this is the episode for you!

Get ready to find the person that can transform your business, elevate your customer service and give your team the support they need and deserve!

There's hundreds of ways we can increase our business revenue.

We could come up with some cool "grass roots" marketing.

We could up our social media game and post multiple times a day on multiple platforms.

We could find a new "rock star" stylist with a full-book of guests.

But although these are all possibilities, they all take a significant amount of time before we see the new guests in our chair and the money in our bank account.

What I want to talk about today is not only the fastest way to see a return on your efforts, its also the simplest and as close to a guarantee you are ever likely to get.

I promise this will be a "light bulb" moment for the majority of you.

So let me just say this right now, "You're welcome for the pay rise" :))

Take a listen...

Have A Blessed Day,

David.

Overwhelm is a living, breathing thing when running a business.

It doesn't matter how well we plan and schedule our day or week, we are often met with "fires" that surprise us and need our attention.

So how do we overcome this?

How can we insure that everything that needs to get done is happening?

How can we free ourselves and create more hours in our day?

Is the answer to bring in a salon manager and if so how much will this cost?

Or do we really need a business partner and if this is the answer how much of our compamy must we give up?

Or perhaps there's an easier way!

Can we still remain in complete control of our business and remain with 100% ownership AND get everything done that needs to get done????

Have A Blessed Day,

David.

I'm yet to find the "perfect" team (mine included).

Some have come close, but there is always at least one team member who always seems to have the wrong attitude. They never seem, excited or inspired to be in the salon. 

Not that you're thinking of firing them, but you just wish that each day didn't seem like such a challenge.

Some of you may be reading this and thinking, thats HALF of my team!

This wouldn't surprise me either, we have had a thoroughly crap 2 years in the salon world and even the most passionate stylist is bound to feel deflated

So what can we do about it?

How can we reconnect, reinvigorate and create the SHIFT that gets them fired-up and back on track?

The first thing I want to say is you are not on your own! The reason I decided to talk about this specific topic is because of the amount of times I've had this conversation with salon owners all over the world recently.

Secondly, every team in every industry needs to be "re-fired-up" at least a couple of times a year it's just usually not this close to the excitement of New Year.

So, take a listen and even if your team are currently in a great place, I guarantee the day will come soon, where it's time to sit down and regain connection.

Take a listen...

Have A Blessed Day,

David.

Is this going to be the year you finally build the business you originally set-out to build?

Is this going to be the year you finally hit the revenue that gives you the life you've always wanted?

Will this be the year your team maximize their efforts and create the careers they've always wanted?

If the answer is YES then there is something that MUST happen in your business.

Your team MUST realize that THEY are in-control of their own destiny!

They MUST realize they are are capable of building their own brand and their own business within your business!

And YOU must be ok with them doing this and realize your role as a leader is supporting this individual growth.

So, how do we make this happen....?

What's the conversation that will give them this realization and how can we support team members on their journey?

Take a listen....

Have A Blessed Day,

David.

Any way you cut it, the last 12 months has been an experience filled with lessons.

Lessons about business, lessons about ourselves, lessons about government, lessons about medicine, lessons about human nature.

I'm here to review and talk to you about the business lessons.

It would be very easy to just dismiss the last year and just focus on moving on- "NEXT"!

But, just like any event we organize or attend, the "gold" is in sitting down, once it's all said and done and reviewing what we have learned, where can we improve, the areas we did well and how we make it even better!

There are many salon owners that have just been waiting for things to get back to normal. For things to return to the way they use to be. If you fall into this category, I'm here to tell you that this IS normal, the NEW normal.

Time doesn't go back (unless you're Marty McFly and you've been gifted a DeLorean time machine), it just moves forward and we need to make the right adjustments so our business moves with it.

So, how do we know what to change and how we become a business of the future?

By reviewing the last year and adding certain systems, services, procedures to our business so we can THRIVE in the new world.

If you know you need to make changes but you just haven't go around to it, don't panic, there's time!

This episode will help you put the plan together and give you the road map to your future salon.

Take a listen..

Have A Blessed Day,

David.

If you've been considering "skipping" your Holiday Open House for your guests this year, let me suggest you reconsider.

An open house is a party, so while it's all about celebration, bubbles & bites, it's also an opportunity for us to increase revenue, expand our client base and even set us up for a busy January and February.

Any event that is related to or takes place in our business has to have a focus on making money or expanding our business.

In this episode I give you three examples that will insure your guests and your team have lots of fun and a thoroughly enjoyable evening at your open house while at the same time maximising revenue and setting you up for a busy start to 2022.

Do you sometimes feel like the nagging parent because you seem to be always asking your team to post on social?!

You know how important it is to post, they know how important it is to post but trying to get them to be consistent is an uphill battle!

Social media is a part of being in business today, whether you are an owner or a stylist behind the chair.

So in this episode I'm going to give you my strategy that will not only give your stylist all the ideas and content they need but also have maximum effect on growing their business.
