2. If you do $8000 a week in service sales you can afford a receptionist 40, 50, or 60 hours per week? _________

3. To increase performance an average of 10% implement ______________ with your staff.

4. If your rent is $3000 per month in a commission based salon your sales must be $30,000, $40,000 or $50,000 per month? ______________

7. The word ________ in any employment ad will increase the response up to 50%.

8. How many $1000 a week service providers do you need to afford 60 hours of receptionist time per week? 6, 10 or 14? ____________

9. Your staff wants you to reduce the price of men’s haircuts in your salon by $2 so you will get more male clients. Right now you do 2000 men’s cuts a year at $18 each. How many more men’s cuts do you need to do just to generate the same sales volume?
150, 250, 350? ______________________

10. Using question 9 how many more men’s cuts to make the same amount of net profits?
250, 325, or 400? _____________

200, 250, or 300? _______________

How did you do? Most of us hate these types of word questions (Two trains leave Cincinnati and Columbus traveling at 60 miles per hour….) But the questions shown above can all be answered with SIMPLE formulas! Come to Orlando and get into PROFITS!

E-marketing the easy way

This e-mail is being sent to you with no work on my part! That's right, I can set up an e-mail campaign of thank you, reminder, appointment confirmations, birthdays, retail reminders, and more and the e-marketing and text marketing happens automatically every week.

This is such a great concept because most of us as owners and managers don't have the time to set up, configure, type, and mail and e-mail the marketing every week that we should be doing. Doing business gets in the way of marketing and all of a sudden sales slow down. It is hard to be consistent and that is the key to effective marketing.

MIKAL's automatic AutoPilot e-marketing does all the heavy lifting for me. All I do is put in my clients and MIKAL does the rest.

Does your software system do this for you? For free?
Call us today to find out how the MIKAL systems can make you some serious money. 800-448-5420 or 513-528-5100.

salon and spa management tips

Retail sales can be your most profitable area or it can be a big cash drain and stocking nightmare. Here are some quick tips to keep your inventory lean and profitable:

Reconfigure your inventory each month based on each items percentage of total sales. If a certain shampoo is 10% of sales it should get 10% of your retail realestate. The low percentage items lose shelf space and maybe even go away.

Take all new products on a 30 day consignment test. If it doesn't sell send it back. Any item that has no sales for 60 days needs to go away.

Set up a SALE table. Put a big sign on the table 40% OFF. Any products that can't be returned go on that table at 40% off.

When you launch a product give your staff double commission for the first 30 days. The product will TAKE OFF!
