Week 3 - Pricing + Price Review
Check in about how the week went and if they’ve had any issues or concerns.
Building quotes for your guest
Walk them through at least two examples of building a price for a guest. Especially lightning services. Creating 2 price options
Extra style time and Extra application time.
Price Review commitment.
Price Reviews are required with every guest before you start any service. If we get an agreement about the pricing prior to starting then we eliminate many issues that arise. It also makes raising your prices after a level jump easier because they are used to you going over the price.
What are they saying now?
Options are very important because we don’t know their beauty budget and want to make it graceful for the guest.
Are you giving multiple pricing options?
If it is a repeat guest and the price is the same they can simply say “the price is the same as last time, how’s that sound?
Please get a verbal commitment that they will give options and do a price review prior to starting the service.
Week 4 - Consultation
Check in about how the week went and if they’ve had any issues or concerns.
Consultation
Purpose
What can we do FOR our guests. To learn more about how to give them a look that they can recreate at home.
90% of stylists think they give a consultation every time but only 5% of guests report that they have ever had one! This is a communication issue and it’s up to us to change it.
Opening Statement
It’s important to me that you have a look that you feel great about, and a look that you're going to be able to do at home. So before I get started, i'd like to ask you a few questions. Is that ok?
Open ended Questions that allow understanding of their struggles and desires. Pg 117 in Over The Top.
