Re: Lumiere (Anyone making money?)

Well, after one of the most hit threads I've seen on here for a while, what have I accomplished? Have we gained some knowledge on how to make this divice work and make money for us or are we all still in the same situation we were in before? Are there still a few locations doing ok with it and a bunch of us still doing nothing? I sure would like to hear from some owners who are now making a go of it and are happy about having lumiere in their salon. I haven't made a sale all month.

I have been following this thread for a while and contributed my thoughts in the early stages. TJ's post really clarifies the concerns of many tanning salons that were looking for an add on to make additional income and perhaps haven't seen it.

There are some "HOT" shots out there that can sell ice cubes to Eskimoes. I have already given you my thoughts on the device so moving past that, the key phrase of this thread is (is anyone making money?). Those who are making money are obviously good at sales and marketing, those who aren't probably thought the machine would sell itself.

Personally, I feel that if you have to resort to EFT's to keep the cash flowing you don't believe so much in the product, as you do in your ability to sell the sizzle and tie the client down to a contract.

So, is "the machine making you money?" or are you making the money selling the benefits of the machine and the products through your marketing and sales skills? Want to make money? Sharpen your sales skills, educate yourself in the market you are selling and continue to track your results to make adjustments.
