    Can to Can't
    7-8 clients per day
    don't need a boss - my clients are the boss
    expectations - give them all I've got and they will keep coming back; this is also my business model for the last 25 years.
    Clients pay me well above average plus tips for my efforts.

    Relax & Rejuvenate

    Yes. #1 performance standard in our spas is Product Sales / Service goals.

    Cilents who buy 2 or more products are 7x more likely to return for services and other products within 90 days. No point in measuring repeat rates when we know the #1 driver of repeats!

    Massage Therapists need to be a 30% Sales:Service, Estheticians at 100%

    not only is the goal directly tied to sales commission (10% on all products), but also on the hours you work and your hourly pay (we pay hourly + Fee per treatment).

    If you are at less than 50% of your goal, your hourly rate is reduced to Min. Wage for Tipped Employees and you are likely to lose a shift from your sked.

    50 - 90% of Goal, hourly rate is Minimum Wage and you keep your hours.

    At or above Goal, $10/hour plus you can pick up shifts if you are not already at 40/wk.

    Having the whole spa at 50% sales to service is the financial equivalent of doing 50% more services, but you still have your treatment rooms available for more services and more sales!
