    This Increased My Salon's Sales By $8k A Month

    Upselling is the easiest way to increase your salon revenue without finding new clients or raising your prices. Today, I'm walking you through the exact system that increased my salon sales by $8,000 per month using Added Value Experiences (AVEs). I'll show you how to create a physical menu that actually converts, the front desk scripts that work for both new and existing guests, and how to rotate your offerings so they never get stale. If you've been hesitant about upselling because it feels pushy or salesy, this episode is for you, my friend. I'll reframe what upselling actually is (spoiler: it's your job as a beauty professional), give you the exact menu structure that works, and show you how to track results so this becomes a living, breathing part of your business. ⏰ What You’ll Learn: (0:32) Reframing Upselling: It's Your Job(3:33) Creating Your AVE Menu(5:27) The Front Desk Script(10:59) Rotating Your Menu Strategically(12:24) Tracking and Measuring Success(14:23) Making It Work: Ownership and Accountability 🔗 Mentioned Links: Get in touch with our admissions team to learn more about RLCEO here: https://go.pip-university.com/ 👋 Say Hi: If you haven’t done so already, follow us on Instagram and Facebook.

    Hands Down #1 Mistake Owner Make

    If you're a salon owner who feels like you have to do everything yourself to keep the business running, this episode is for you.  I'm breaking down the hands-down number one mistake that keeps owners stuck, overworked, and unable to scale past a certain point: failing to delegate effectively. The shift you're craving doesn't come from working harder; it comes from learning how to lead, delegate, and design a business that doesn't depend on your every decision. When you free yourself from the day-to-day, you create space to solve higher-level problems that result in hundreds of thousands of dollars in growth. This episode gives you the exact framework to start building that freedom today. ⏰ What You’ll Learn: (0:27) The Cost of Not Delegating Why 80% of what's on your plate right now needs to come off of it, and what happens to your business when it doesn't (1:59) Real Example: New Guest Retention System A real-world example from my salon where delegating freed me up to discover we were losing 44% of new guests—and how we built a system that cut that drop-off to 30%, saving us 18 clients per month (5:22) Why Owners Struggle to Delegate  Most owners already delegate small tasks but stay blind to bigger opportunities because they think they can do it faster or worry it won't get done right. (6:26) Tips for Strong Delegation  The four essential tips for strong delegation: building by design, delegating to roles (not just people), delegating thinking (not just tasks), and delegating research (9:32) Roadmap to Effective Delegation  A step-by-step roadmap to start delegating today—even if you feel like you don't have anyone to delegate to or you're a one-person show (14:04) Implementation & Next Steps  How to create templates and frameworks that make delegation foolproof, so tasks get done right without you being the bottleneck 🔗 Mentioned Links: Download the 20-page Syllabus Checklist here: https://www.pip-university.com/syllabus Get in touch with our admissions team to learn more about RLCEO here: https://go.pip-university.com/ 👋 Say Hi: If you haven’t done so already, follow us on Instagram and Facebook.
