Key Take-Aways:

1. When we talk about retention, if you don’t have those building blocks of creating a strong relationship and being in an environment that you feel supported in, it’s a big contributor for professionals not staying in the industry.

2. Personalizing each client experience: Make recommendations, but also personalizing your marketing techniques to fit the preferences of each guest.

3. 80% of consumers are more likely to support a business that provides personalized experience.

4. Simple is not always easy. Having the confidence to retain clients gives you the financial freedom, time and peace to focus on education or reach out to brands.

5. Work on your craft: Set aside 5% of your income for ongoing education. Setting money aside for education also creates a psychological reward system & allows you to put time and thought into the classes you really need.

6. It’s better to get really strong at a couple of things at a time rather than offering everything because it allows you to focus on the relationship and feel confident with the service.

7. Offer a loyalty program: A point system is a great way to add to the next purchase, which can increase client retention by 5-10%, and also generates on average 15-25% more profits per year.

8.Dial in communication & verbiage: This helps with clarity, removing obstacles, plus clients feel heard.

9. Treat all clients as if they’re your only client. A way to see a great example of exceptional service is to be a client yourself and create a rating system for parts of your service and make notes for how you can apply your experience behind the chair.

10. Being consistent is the most important part of the service to retaining a client. 89% of consumers have switched to a competitor following a poor experience.

11. Be irreplaceable: What makes you YOU & make your strength your Super Power. Write specific things down in the client notes to help your remember details.

12. Make sure your clients are not leaving before rebooking, it helps to talk about next steps or always leave your client wanting more.

13. Remember your clients don’t only choose you, you also choose them, so choose clients for your future self.
