Does your salon encourage your stylists to say “no”?  When your stylists are taught why, when and how to say no to clients, you are preventing unnecessary heartache and avoiding potential client complaints. Today’s lesson is also accompanied by the message that we need to have our stylist’s backs. If you take care of your team first, they will take care of your clients.

Giving discounts gives the buyer the impression and belief that what you’re selling isn’t worth its price. There is a better way. When you find yourself in the position of moving on from a product line, you can easily watch products fly off your shelf if you implement this sales strategy!
