What else is going on? (Call Neon.)

Yes what has been the problem. If i became an owner i have ashort list of people that i would hire for management with no problem - traind and ready to go.

The same reason Best Buy has a 99% turn over rate.

People are lazy bums.

Thats true. I fire lazy and keep good. By the time the slow season rolls around I have my two or three good ones. I have one girl that has been with me for 10 years. I have had other out standing employees over the years. They are out there you just cant be afraid to fire the bad ones.

I mean ****. Just look at your own extended families. MAYBE 10% of them you'd even consider hiring nevermind some nobody!

Springbok, I looked at your website and you have like 8 managers for 2 salons and I can't find another good one to replace the one I am loosing after 3 years. what gives?

I would assume it depends on where you are in the Chicago area, also. How are you advertising? I am very serious that, I would bet there are small salon owners that are very good at customer service, product knowledge, etc. that are struggling and looking for a change. For $40,000 (combination of base, commission, incentives, etc.) you should be able to attract one of them. Timing may be an issue, though.

Have you explored your current customer base? Perhaps there is a regular customer that you are familiar with that would be good. The problem here is, you lose a customer. They now tan for free. And if it doesn't work out, they will go somewhere else and tan.

Competition have anyone that you could steal away? Already trained and doing a good job?

I don't like cattle calls but sometimes that is all you have left. Advertise the job in the paper, unemployment office, etc. and be prepared to sort through hundreds of applications and applicants to get down to a very few that are acceptable, if you get lucky.
