Ten tips for not rocking the boat

  1. Huddles
    One can never stress the importance of huddles, too much. If your business is to thrive, there must be constant, open communication.

  2. Strategic planning sessions
    Hold quarterly or monthly strategic planning sessions to evaluate changes in your salon or spa.

  3. Change the plan
    Your business will change with the times, and so should your business plan.

  4. Employee performance evaluations
    Evaluate employee performance at least twice each year. It is important for owners to acknowledge their progress, as well as their shortcomings.

  5. Looks at those numbers!!!
    Financial statements are the heartbeat of your business. You need to see the areas in which you gained ground…and lost it.

  6. Weekly checkups
    It’s important to call clients to ensure they are satisfied with your salon or spa’s services. The front desk can make these courtesy calls weekly.

  7. Trendy
    In this industry, change is a constant friend. Keep up-to-date with the latest trends, and encourage employees to do the same.

  8. Let them grow
    Give your employees the incentive and freedom to grow with the business. They need to discover their personal niche in order to thrive.

  9. No compromise
    In life, there are rules. The same goes for business. Don’t allow employees to control management.

  10. Follow your instinct
    Do not let the fear of change hold you or the business back.
