Increasing sales and profit is obviously not for everyone. For those that live their lives and operate their businesses playing the blame game instead of taking responsibility for their actions or failures, making changes that require you to own the result of your actions is not an option. This thread is simply to point out that there are ways to actually increase sales while controlling operating cost. The down side is that you actually must properly and aggressively execute those changes. There is light at the end of the tunnel. No need to be a casualty of a poor business model. Also remember a successful business model ten years ago may not be as effective today without changes. Pointing out issues that are out of your control is never productive. Identifying issues that you can control and creating a positive solution takes a willingness to except and even embrace change. There is another option. Do nothing, or the same thing that is creating the negative result that you are now experiencing. This thread started with a salon owner looking for help. The salon owner got help and and got exactly what she was looking for. Assistance with turning her salon around. A nice positive happy ending. | |

Rep Power: 13 | Re: CONSULTANTS??? Do you use Stating such numbers is utter nonsense. Its impossible to grow 160% on a reasonable salon unless competition closed. Its shear BS to the nth degree. As far as consultants we have quite a bit of experince in our people and we dont actually charge for member assistance. I myself have helped many and given many the harsh reality. Sometimes things can be done sometimes they cant to fix a business. Overall if u have no money to spend for growth u have no shot. Which is why so many businesses of all types fail and continue to fail in this non lending banking environment. |
