Clipper Business Tip - Week 5

We have missed a few Fridays through the holiday break. We are up to week number 5.

Week 5 -Rebook

Rebooking, the art of booking a clients next appointment before they leave the shop, is the single most important non-technical skill that a clipper cutter can develop. Filling spots for the future insures your chair is occupied. Locking in clients for the next cut provides a buffer against competing shops and hungry cutters. Setting the interval between cuts discourages appointment stretching. You will see the same client more times in every year, thereby increasing your income even before new clients are recruited.

Do this. This is one of the easy keys to real success. No one becomes a top level cutter without doing this. In tougher economic times this powerful business tactic becomes even more vital to your growth and continued success. It is easy. What I love about this tip is that while it costs you absolutely, totally ZERO $ it can pay you back in real hard cash very quickly. This is the ultimate clipper tip... easily in my top 10 favorites.
