weekly business tip, week, 51, 2009

Here is your Andis/Ivan Zoot get busy business building tip of the week for week 51, 2009.

Say goodbye and thank you – Your goodbye should be as strong as your greeting was when a client/customer showed up. Acknowledge all as they depart. A simple “thank you, come again” will go a long way. This goes for all cutters and all clients. The owner sets the tone for the entire shop. By thanking all clients, not just the ones you personally cut, you build a sense of teamwork and shop community. Employee turnover is far less likely to lead to client turnover if clients feel they have a personal connection to the owner, the shop and the community.

This one is simple, but powerful. With 2009 drawing to a close we will be looking ahead to next year. The weekly business builder tips from my ClipperGuy Says... Get Busy book will start over... week 1 will be published, that is right, in week 1 of 2010... and on we will go. If you started following these weekly tips late in the year... this is your opportunity to start over with me and your fellow business builders.
