I am sure you are all wondering what are her secrets in creating such a successful six-figure business on her own so drop everything that you’re doing and tune in now!  For all the links, visit the show notes page: Click here!   Biggest Takeaways from Katt: “I had learned probably from watching my old boss just how important it was to create a relationship and I just couldn’t leave it so that’s why I started it.” “My business, I hit six-figures in the first eight months of  being on business. I don’t really know what happened and I think it has less to do with me and I think it has more to do with the amazing men and women that come in into my business everyday.” “Everything that we do is different for everybody that comes in.” “Probably what I draw on more than anything else is my schooling in Philosophy. Because in Philosophy, there’s a right ,a wrong and a middle and I think beauty is absolutely that. There’s a left, a right and a middle and the truth is always in the middle. So I think I use that, I mean everyday with every person.” “With my clients, I don’t do a lot of add-ons. I have a one-price facial. I really have no menu. My menu says it’s your first time in or you’ve just been with me forever. We do just exactly what’s right for your skin every time. And it’s always a conversation.” “The first time you come in to see me, you’re my client. The second time you come to see me, you’re my friend. The third time you come to see me, if you have no place to go at Christmas, you have a place on my table and that’s how I run everything with everyone that walks into my clinic’s doors.” “I think if you treat people the way you would your favorite person in your family, they’ll do the same for you and so that’s been the huge portion of it.” “I can’t survive if I’m your dirty little secret. People need to know about me and it’s really amazing, I think that people love seeing businesses grow when you’re really trying and you’re honest about these are things that you really need. I think that humans will like to raise each other up, makes us feel good.” “If you help someone out build their own empire, they’ll help build yours.” “I realized that free doesn’t mean free to anybody, it means it is not good enough.” “If you have something that’s worth a $100 and you sell it for $50, that’ll never be worth a hundred dollars ever again.” “I would say that I think it’s really important  to apprentice and work underneath someone else before you try to go off on your own as well. And when you do go off on your own, there’s no need to burn a bridge.” Episode Highlights: Take On Working with Clients (13:20) Starting Grafin Skin And Beauty (16:03) Katt’s Journey As A One-Woman Salon (16:51) Services Offered at Grafin Skin And Beauty (19:42) Bespoke and Tweaking (23:23) Having No Menu (26:15) Ways To Get New Clients (28:32) Effective Client Getting Strategy that Started with a Lollipop (37:12) Referrals and Reviews (43:11) Advice For Those in the Health and Beauty Industry  (50:19)   This Episode is brought to you by: This episode of The Beauty Business Podcast was supported by Kabbage.com.

BBP 046 : Beauty Business Owner’s Guide to Effective Planning for A Successful 2019

Stephanie Mitchell

Time flies by quickly when you are having fun and this season we’ve featured some amazing guests on the show from within and from outside the health and beauty industry to give us insights and inspire us to become more successful.  For our penultimate episode of Season 3, we are talking about something that most health and beauty business owners tend to neglect or give little thought to.  Honestly, I never thought it was quite so significant, but more than ever in today’s world it is really important to stand out, to be recognized if we want our clients to choose us over our competitions. There are likely hundreds of salons or spas in your area that offer similar treatments to you . . . but why would clients choose you? The answer is simple and that it is because of your “Brand” and everything that encapsulates.  Now, I am excited to tackle this topic from a different perspective so I have with me today an amazing guest and the founder of Sunnystorm Marketing, Stephanie Mitchell.  She runs a well known marketing agency dedicated to helping beauty businesses improve their client base and brand. Stephanie’s extremely passionate about this thing called “Brand’ and is here to enlighten us as to what a brand is and to clarify why it’s more than just your catchy business name or fancy logo.

Episode Highlights and Takeaways:   Obsession about Branding (11:09) “The reason that I’ve become so obsessed with it is first of all when I launched Sunnystorm Marketing a year and a half ago, I was nobody . . . like nobody knew anything about me. There’s so many marketing companies online like there’s millions and millions of them that do different sorts of online marketing, so I knew that I wanted to have a way to make myself stand out.”    What Is This Thing You Call ”Brand” (14:00) “Your visual brand . .  it starts with your logo, it extends to your colour palette, your font palette and then kind of just visually how you represent yourself.” “Having that way of visually representing yourself and making it consistent, representing that on social media, through your email marketing, on your website. It is so crucial differentiating yourself from other businesses online.”   Creating and Clarifying A Brand (17:17) “If you feel like you either need to rebrand or you feel like you want to clarify your brand and really understand if what you are doing is right, one of the best things to do is to step back and look at your own personality and also your business personality.”    Steps in Creating Your Brand:     Identifying What Your Personality Is (19:05)  Think About Your Ideal Clientele (19:25)  Create Brand Assets ( Logo, Color Palette, Font Palette) (20:20)     What Is A Personal Brand (24:11) “Any type of business professional in the beauty industry should be considering their personal brand… the way I like to define your personal brand is: What do your clients think of you when they’re not in your salon and they’re not paying you? “   How Much Do People Care About Personal Brand? (27:00) “I think that when people do not care about you as a beauty professional… at that point you are simply a commodity and you really don’t have a differentiator between you and someone down the street that provides a similar service for the same price.”   Long Term Effects of Not Promoting Your Personal Brand (29:53) “When it comes to all the work that you’re putting into promoting yourself online, if you’re not sharing your personal brand you’re gonna get less reward for your efforts.”   How To Develop And Expand Your Personal Brand Without Taking Too Much Time (34:18)     Take baby steps to start sharing a bit more about yourself and your team in your marketing.   The best thing you can do to make it not feel like work is to make it natural, authentic and comes from yourself – imagine you are talking to your favourite client only.

BBP 049 : How to Create Loyalty in Your Customers

Daniela Woerner

Welcome to SEASON THREE of The Beauty Business Podcast!  To kick off the new season I have a real treat in store for you. In this episode, Episode 25, I am joined by a successful licensed aesthetician, mentor, consultant, speaker and business woman, Daniela Woerner.  I asked Daniela to come on the show today to talk a little about her thoughts on selling retail products in spas, salons and clinics as this is something of a passion for her. What we ended up with was an incredible mini-masterclass in retail sales for the beauty industry that you simply will not want to miss!  It’s a little longer than a normal episode, but there was SO MUCH amazing stuff in here I wanted to keep it all in for you. Make some time, grab a drink, take LOTS of notes and enjoy!   Biggest Takeaways:  I feel like if you don’t tell them about the products then you are not doing your job, you are not serving them fully. Everything that I do in a spa, I ask myself three questions: is this going to benefit the patient or client? Is this going to benefit the aesthetician or the practitioner who is providing the service, the beauty therapist? Is this going to benefit the spa? I want have a yes to all three of those things before I move forward with any decisions. It’s really a mindset thing, you are coming to me as a skin care specialist as the expert and what I want to do to help you to reach your skin care goals… So you’re taking charge but in a gentle and respectful way, and people like to feel to be taken care of. People like to feel that you care about their skin care as much as you do. We have a lot of empathy for our patients and clients and so the last thing that we would ever want is for them to think that were just in it just to push products on them. But when you shift the perspective and instead of being “salesy” you’re focusing purely on education. One of my philosophies in life is anytime there’s a bump on the road, you can look at that as something that’s something going to stop you or you can look at that as an opportunity. The goal I like to go for if you are a solo aesthetician or you were working on a day spa, my magic number is 50% retail disservice. The technology today, they have so many things that you can do… you have the ability to sell online, to use digital ads, to target your audience to come up with creative promotions so essentially you could have this little skin care boutique as a double business. When you’re recommending products or treatments, you want to be sure that you’re saying the benefit to the patient or to the client. You’re not saying all the science-y terms that the reps are teaching you… There’s so much free education out there and it’s easy to find the answers. What you have to do is ask.

Welcome to SEASON THREE of The Beauty Business Podcast! To kick off the new season I have a real treat in store for you. In this episode, Episode 25, I am joined by a successful licensed aesthetician, mentor, consultant, speaker and business woman, Daniela Woerner. I asked Daniela to come on the show today to talk a little about her thoughts on selling retail products in spas, salons and clinics as this is something of a passion for her. What we ended up with was an incredible mini-masterclass in retail sales for the beauty industry that you simply will not want to miss! It’s a little longer than a normal episode, but there was SO MUCH amazing stuff in here I wanted to keep it all in for you. Make some time, grab a drink, take LOTS of notes and enjoy! Biggest Takeaways: <ul> <li>I feel like if you don’t tell them about the products then you are not doing your job, you are not serving them fully.</li> <li>Everything that I do in a spa, I ask myself three questions: is this going to benefit the patient or client? Is this going to benefit the aesthetician or the practitioner who is providing the service, the beauty therapist? Is this going to benefit the spa? I want have a yes to all three of those things before I move forward with any decisions.</li> <li>It’s really a mindset thing, you are coming to me as a skin care specialist as the expert and what I want to do to help you to reach your skin care goals… So you’re taking charge but in a gentle and respectful way, and people like to feel to be taken care of.
