It is almost unbelievable, but we are sailing our way straight into Q3. That's right, July is right around the corner. Are you ready? How do you know if you are ready? This is how I know...if I have a healthy dose of excitement combined with a healthy dose of fear, I know I am doing something right. If when I put my head on the pillow at night and sleep soundly most nights, I know I am doing something right. For me it is trying to find moments of joy in each day and being sure that the projects I work on also bring me joy. Do I have it all together all of the time, heck no! But in this webinar I give you some tips that help me, my clients and my SpaHive VIP members celebrate their small wins and focus on attaching action items to their goals so they push the needle forward every day.Could you use more business resources from me and my trusted SpaHive Community?

The pandemic can no longer be used as an excuse for bad service. Staffing challenges are a reality in this new world, I get it, but you cannot make excuses for an underwhelming experience at your spa or business any longer. You must learn to adapt, automate services, stagger in a way that works for making money and providing the very best service your clients expect and deserve. Let me give you an examples of an excuses I have heard recently and an on how you can kick those excuses to the curb!The phone rings and rings to only go to voicemail. The voicemail says, due to covid it may take longer to answer your call. WHAT?! We live in a world with super intelligence. Did you know there are softwares out there that will pick up on the ringing phone and automatically text the person calling to start a conversation and lead them all the way to booking their services without you ever talking to them? I can hear you now saying "but I want to make the personal connection with my clients". I know, I get it. But if it is going to voicemail you risk loosing the client all together and no personal connection at all. Using an AI based approach you can retain more customers, exceed their expectations and once the appointment is booked have a personal text sent to the client thanking them for booking and telling them how much you are looking forward to their visit with a personal signature. The reality is nearly 85% of people are looking and booking travel experiences using a mobile device. This gives you a huge opportunity!Could you use more business resources from me and my trusted SpaHive Community?

We talk about how not all massage therapists are flaky and as a massage therapist how to be future paced so your career does not become monotonous or stagnant.This is a really fun conversation in our series dedicated to massage therapists, one of our spa businesses greatest asset. Jamerie is very fun to talk to and gives us some easy to use tips and resources to help you grow your business and career as a massage therapist.MEET JAMERIEWhen I was a therapist, I felt very limited by only helping one person at a time. As I progressed in my career I knew I wanted to help as many people as I could. I knew that meant stepping out of the massage room and into leadership roles. I wanted to be able to share my experience and lessons I learned along the way. Now being a coach allows me to help those who help others.JAMERIE'S MISSIONI help ambitious Massage therapists who are uncertain of their next step in their career gain clarity by leadership skills and techniques.CONNECT WITH JAMERIEMTspaCoach FOLLOW JAMERIE ON INSTAGRAMhttps://www.instagram.com/mtspacoach/LEARN MORE ABOUT THE SPAHIVE VIP SpaHive VIP Community, for spa, hospitality and wellness professionals.
