Have you wanted to make the sweet switch to sugar but are afraid of sticking out in your local waxing community like a sugar-coated sore thumb? You’re in good company! Elena Daase was in the same boat when she first created SugarSMAC®, and all she needed to make this dream a reality was some from her brother-in-law Jason.

Jason Daase became involved with SugarSMAC® after catching the vision from Elena of what a world-class Sugaring company could be. Prior to his involvement in SugarSMAC, Jason was an educator for 23 years who had a passion for training the next generation to be lifelong learners and critical thinkers. He has used his skill set to help guide the SugarSMAC certification program, and to cast an exciting new vision for the future of the company. He is committed to increasing the prominence of Body Sugaring in the esthetics industry, and to making SugarSMAC Professional® Body Sugaring a household name.

In one of our first Love2Sugar Partner Spotlights of the year, Jason breaks down the story behind SugarSMAC®, their journey, and what sets them apart from other sugar pastes on the market.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER: 

• How one esthetician helped pioneer the art of sugaring in her Canadian city. 
• Why you should NOT trust that YouTube video that claims you can DIY sugaring at home.
• The family secret that makes SugarSMAC® so special and truly sets them apart!

The weather outside is frightful, and all that bundling up makes it all too easy for clients to say “I’ll just let it grow out..” and that can mean more $$$ in your pocket!

Continuing last week’s theme of planning ahead, today we’re zeroing in on Q1 (also known as the first 3 months of the year) and really getting clear on what you should be doing both in the shop and online so you can get a head start on those 2023 goals.

So grab a pen and paper because you’re going to want to be taking notes as I reveal the step-by-step blueprint to your best Q1 ever! 

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL LEARN: 

• How to turn “too lazy to shave my legs” in the winter into a full leg appointment in the spring.
• What product you should have flying off the shelves
• How turning your attention away from the treatment table and towards your marketing could triple your Q1 revenue! (Psst….Valentine’s Day is around the corner, what are you doing to promote Brazilians?)

With the holidays coming at us like a freight train not only is it our busiest time of year, but our clients’ as well. And sometimes those conversations in the treatment room can have you double checking to make sure your certification says “licensed esthetician” not “licensed therapist”

As beauty professionals, we’re often the definition of “self-care” for our clients, but it’s far to easy for us to forget to take care of ourselves.

This problem is so much bigger than just a season, which is why today I’m gonna get real with you about what it means to truly give grace, ways to give grace to others, and maybe most importantly giving you the permission to give grace to yourself.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL WALK AWAY WITH: 

• A better understanding of what truly defines “grace”
• Nine ways you can start incorporating grace into your day-to-day routine (number 5 might be hard to hear)!
• My top 5 tips for giving yourself grace even when it seems so hard!

As we enter into December and the holiday season is in full swing, I am really excited to bring you more tools to bring you new ways to think about your business without just churning and burning sugar.

That’s why I invited my friend Julie Gohring - a heart-centered sales mentor for women entrepreneurs who teaches women how to sell from their heart and own the value of who they already are in sales & business.

Julie really teaches women how to sell from their heart and own the value of who they already are, both in business and in the treatment room, while making sure that resonates with your clients. I can’t wait for you to hear Julie’s gems of wisdom and hopefully apply them to your own business this holiday season!

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER: 

• How to throw out everything you think you know about sales conversations.
• Why you never want to make your clients feel like they’re buying the lemon.
• How to flip “selling” on its head by embracing the relationship aspect of esthetics while still meeting your quota each month.
• The secret to conquering sales even as an introvert!
