Do you have a team? Are you booth renting? Do you pay commission? Are you thinking of hiring other lash artists at some point? If you have staff...how's it working out for you? If you're like most salon owners I know, it's can be quite difficult to keep your business running smoothly, to be a strong leader, and to keep your business profitable. No one is born knowing how to run a salon, and if you are like many lash artists I know, you probably just copied the salon you once worked for or worse (if you never worked for a salon) just make it all up as you go. If you want to have a strong and successful salon, you need to have a solid business system that really takes care of your staff. Winging it will only end up in a lot of pain and suffering. If you've been listening to our podcast, you know we're huge fans of Team-Based Pay or what I think is more accurate...Team-Based Culture. In today's episode, we have the head of education from Strategies, Michael Yost, joins us to talk about this amazing salon business system. Michael spoke at LashCon last year, and we want to share his talk to give you a preview of the kind of presentations you'll get at the VIRTUAL LashConference this November 15-16, 2020. If you have staff or if you ever want to hire staff, you seriously need to consider using the Team-Based Culture business model. In today's episode, you'll get a good overview of what this system and how it can help you build the business of your dreams. We'll be back next week with two more LashCon preview episodes. If you like what you hear today, you'll want to sign up and join us on November 15-16, 2020! ANNOUNCEMENTS: THE VIRTUAL LASHCONFERENCE - November 15-16, 2020 We're on a mission here at The VIRTUAL LashConference (LashCon) to make every lash artist profitable and professional. ⁣ ⁣ First, we want to help lash artists become profitable.

Second, we want to see lash artists like you be more professional and as a result more respected. ⁣ We want to equip lash artists with the best information regarding lashes, adhesives, techniques, and customer service. The better educated we are, the more confident we'll be and the more respected we'll be. ⁣ ⁣ With these two ideas in mind, we are working hard to make sure The VIRTUAL LashConference helps you to become more profitable and professional. We have invited world-class speakers (many from outside the lash industry) to come and share their wisdom with us. ⁣ ⁣ If you want to be profitable and professional, sign up for the con today.

My first experience with Neil Ducoff was at a dinner on the corner of Clark and Fullerton in Chicago. My father says, "you gotta meet this guy." The three of us go to this tapas place, half a block from my father's salon, slightly elevated above the street, so you can see all the surrounding businesses. We are eating, drinking, and Neil is talking. Neil is always talking. He was talking about the philosophy of Team Based Pay and how screwed up the salon businesses are. It was in 1989, I was a new stylist, young, opinionated, know-it-all and there was only one way to run a salon, and that was the way I knew it-commission. Across the street from the restaurant was a Super Cuts and a Hair Cuttery. The two businesses were practically side by side with one non related business in-between them. When I think of the stupidity of that landlord, it makes me want to scream. Who would put two of the same businesses in the same small building. I saw a movie trailer where two guys had guns pointed at each others heads in a moment of extreme intensity! It was kind of like that. Over lots of food and drink, and as Neil is explaining Team Based Pay, he leans over with his big waggy finger, points at the two chain salons, clearly visible from our table, and says, you know who is paying properly, they are. With added emphasis the pointing lingered. At the time those places were all hourly, not sure if they did bonuses. I said, "No way!" And I told Neil, this old guy with loads more experience than I, that he was crazy, he was wrong and one thousand other thoughts that were going thru my head. After the dinner, I was talking to my father, an award winning salon owner and visionary in the salon world, that stylists would never go for a pay scheme like Team Based Pay. 10 Years later I found myself in Connecticut at one of Neil's seminars and my wife Pam and I now have 4 salons all on Neil's pay system that are Top 200 for 15 years!  And I read the other day, the Hair Cuttery opened it's 900th location. Go figure!In this podcast you can hear for yourself if Neil is worth listening to.
