This is one of those ‘can you hold the form up so I can take a picture and tell everyone what you’ve achieved?’ moments 😂🙌
This is Esther. She’s a senior stylist in a salon I work with and she’s been there for about 6 months.
She came from a salon where they used a lot of systems, and in a meeting with the salon owner she happened to mention that she likes tracking figures
Well… that is music to my ears 😂
So last week Esther and I had a one-on-one session and I showed her the Bamboo way of tracking numbers, setting targets and basically setting yourself up for success.
On the same day, the team had a meeting, rejigged their consultation process and made it a bit more structured.
Then this week, Esther and I jumped back on Zoom to see how those first week's figures went.
Before this, Esther’s figures were OK. Nothing terrible at all — but there was still a gap between what she was doing and what we knew she was capable of.
So we chatted about her week, worked through the numbers and…
SHE BLOODY NAILED IT!!!
Her colour KPI target was 50% - ✅
She needed to do 4 treatments — ✅ she did 6
She needed to sell 6 retail items…
SHE SOLD 34✅⭐️
I kid you not. THIRTY. FOUR. 🤯😂
Yes, 6 were minis — but the rest were genuine, full-priced, full-sized retail products.
She absolutely smashed it out of the park.
That meant she hit target 👏👏👏
But possibly the most exciting part?
She was only 50% booked.
So there is still a HUGE amount of earning potential there. 😅
When we talked about what she'd actually done differently, her answer was pretty simple:
She made a conscious effort to talk to her clients about retail and treatments and she followed the new consultation format.
That’s it.
And THAT is why I’m so freaking proud of her.
We knew Esther liked tracking numbers, but I don't think any of us expected to see this kind of result, this quickly, from putting a few simple systems in place and giving her something really clear to focus on.
And no, I’m not suggesting every stylist is suddenly going to sell 34 products next week 😂
But I am saying that sometimes there is a whole lot more potential sitting inside a stylist than their current figures are showing.
Give them a strategy.
Give them something measurable to focus on.
Give them the tools to actually achieve it.
Then let them show you what they’re capable of.
Turns out Esther is capable of quite a bloody lot. 👏❤️
