6 Simple Steps - The Esthetician Mentor
6 Simple Steps to Dramatically Increase Your Income and FILL Your Appointment Book with Amazing Clients! Dear Beauty Biz Practitioner, The beauty industry is growing at an astonishing rate. People are living longer and they want to look and feel beautiful all along the way. Lucky for usJOUIFCFBVUZCJ[ we can play a big part in helping them do just that. And one of the best parts is that when we’re great at what we do, our clients will come back to us month after month…maybe even week after week. However, even though statistics show our industry is growing, the average CFBVUZCJ[ QSBDUJUJPOFSGallT short of UIFJS full financial potential. On average, most QSBDUJUJPOFSs can expect to make just $40,000/yr, according to job postings on www.indeed.com. I’m not okay with that, which is why I’ve made it my mission to help QSBDUJUJPOFSs all over the world finally create the financially lucrative business they’ve always wanted while having a great time in the process. Hi. I am Lori Crete “The Esthetician Mentor™” Skin Care Therapist, Licensed Esthetician and founder and president of The Spa 10™ in Encino, CA. I am devoted to helping CFBVUZCJ[QSBDUJUJPOFSs all over the world increase their SFWFOVFBnd make the income that they deserve…a 6 figure income © 2016 The Esthetician Mentor www.theestheticanmentor.com My love for all things beauty started in the sixth grade when I’d watch my best friend’s mom do leg lifts to Jane Fonda videos with a fresh avocado mask on her face, mayonnaise in her hair and a cigarette in her hand (hey, it was the 70s). She looked amazingbetter than anyone else’s mom in the neighborhood! I was hooked. But before launching a career in the skin care industry, I spent 10 years working as a flight attendant for American Airlines. When 9/11 happened I was inspired to make the career change I had long put off and I dove head first into the world of skin care. Now, I own, operate AND practice as a Licensed Esthetician at The Spa 10™ in Encino, California. I am a frequent expert on various beauty related news segments, Guthy-Renker infomercials and on The Style Network makeover shows. Changing careers was the best move I ever made. Still, I know how frustrating it can be when you’re trying to build a lucrative business JOUIJTJOEVTUSZ! I know how competitive UIF industry is and that there will always be someone undercutting your prices or a Groupon ad offering a TFSWJDFfor a third of what you charge! But none of this means that you can’t be booked solid. I’ve learned how to fill my book and now you can too! 6 Simple Steps to Dramatically Increase Your Income and Fill Your Appointment Book with Amazing Clients! © 2016 The Esthetician Mentor www.theestheticanmentor.com 1) Create Demand for Your Work through Specializing When I first started out, I didn’t know of any JOEVTUSZ networking groups or coaching programs. I learned through trial and error what worked to increase sales and unfortunately what didn’t UPP(a sometimes costly expense for me). Through a stroke of good luck, I realized how important it was to have a special service niche. My income tripled once I figured this out! What’s something special you could offer to your clients? What solution are they constantly asking for that you could package in a compelling way? Is there a group of people you would love to serve and is there a way for you to get in front of them easily? Take Action Brainstorm the different groups you’d like to serve. Then, make a list of all of the services you could provide and the problems you could solve for each group. Then, identify how you could get in front of these groups (on and offline) to let them know about your services. You can use this table to make notes.

And, it takes a lot fewer marketing dollars to get repeat business than new business. The most profitable appointment on ZPVS book is a repeat visit fromBSFQFBU client. Once you make a connection, the client will begin to trust you andUVSO to you for more services and products. Do you collect your clientsh email and mailing addressFT? Have you reached out to your client list lately? Did you know that there is an average time frame when your clients run out of their retail products and that you can make thousands of dollars just by giving them a call or sending them a quick message reminding them that they may need to restock soon? This type of communication is a must to succeed in “the new economy.” Take Action 1. Identify a method for getting in touch with former clients. (i.e. weekly newsletters, phone calls, emails) 2. Choose the method that is the most sustainable and fun for you. Meaning, if you hate picking up the phone, maybe choose email. If you don’t enjoy it on some level, then you’ll never sustain it long enough for it to make a difference. 3. Create a plan for implementation. Map your follow up on a calendar and hold yourself to it. If you have an assistant, you can delegate this but someone has to do it. Remember – the fortune is in the follow up! © 2016 The Esthetician Mentor www.theestheticanmentor.com 3) Become a Walking Billboard for Your Business *GZPVBSFBO&TUIZVTe your face and your skin as free BEWFSUJTJOHGPSZPVSbusiness.

Fill in your calendar with “self-care dates” for the next 6 months and don’t put them off. 5hese are marketing appointments that will help youBUUSBDUNPSFPG ZPVSJEFBMclients. That’s the kind of marketing I LOVE! © 2016 The Esthetician Mentor www.theestheticanmentor.com 4) Attend an industry trade show This sounds so simple but many QSBDUJUJPOFST never go to UIFJS trade shows! I attend at least one per year, often many more. These shows will keep you current and when you return, youhll be able to answer questions from your clients and wow them with the new tools and techniques you can use to make them look and feel better than they ever have before. Trade shows are fun! Grab a few friends and make a GVO weekendPVU of it! Every year, I meet up with my best friend at UIF-as Vegas International Esthetics, Cosmetics BOE4QBConference and we have a blast! Take Action 1. Look for a show that would work with your calendar. Here are a couple of resources to help you. www.lneonline.com/tradeshows www.experienceispa.com/events/annual-conference www.faceandbody.com 2. Contact a friend or colleague and see if anyone would like to join you. I always find that going with someone you know makes it easier to network and enjoy the entire experience. 3. Create a list of goals you have before you attend. Perhaps you want to meet 3 new valuable contacts, learn about a new microdermabrasion machine, or identify a new specialty service you could present to your community. The more clear you are on what you want to get from it, the more likely you’ll get it. © 2016 The Esthetician Mentor www.theestheticanmentor.com 5) Join a Charity Joining a charity not only helped me improve my business financially, but it also made me realize how many things I had to be thankful for. Working with charities has made me a more thoughtful and compassionate person and I bring that into my treatment room, which allows me to be an even better esthetician for my clients. I started airbrush spray tanning women with cancer because it made them look and feel so much better while they were going through chemotherapy. I would do it in my spa or, if they were too sick to come in, I would visit them in their homes. It felt good to make them look healthy and feel attractive after all they were going through. When they shared the experience with family and friends and they saw how much better it made them feel, they began lining up at my door. So, find a charity that means something to you and give back. It will not only make you feel good on the inside but it might even help you grow your business. (Hint: I’ve seen a lot of people create a lucrative niche after volunteering first!) © 2016 The Esthetician Mentor www.theestheticanmentor.com Take Action 1. Create a list of charities in your community that you’re interested in. 2. Contact your friends and family in the area and see if anyone has a connection at any of the charities that they would be willing to introduce you to. If not, no worries. It’s just always nice to have a little in. 3. Identify a service you could provide. 4. Write a pitch you could put in an email about the service you could provide, how you could deliver it and why you believe it would be valuable to people. 5. In the email explain how you plan to follow up. 6. Make it happen as soon as you get the go ahead! © 2016 The Esthetician Mentor www.theestheticanmentor.com 6) Get Mentoring from an Industry Expert “An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.” ~ Benjamin Franklin Every time my income increases, it’s because I’ve invested in guidance from someone who is more successful than I am. I have invested in business coaches, marketing coaches, mindset coaches and even a public relations specialist – though not all at the same time! Their guidance has given me the confidence to make decisions that have pushed me towards a higher income - decisions I was too scared to make on my own. In fact, last year when I was experiencing a low at the end of summer and I was stressing out about not having enough clients, I used a tool a former coach taught me and not only did I book myself solid for the week, but I also booked my other estheticians full of facials they weren’t expecting! Having said that, even though I have had some great coaches, none of them fully understood what it’s like to be aCFBVUZCJ[QSBDUJUJPOFS. That’s why I develop business building USBJOJOH SPECIFICALLY for UIJTJOEVTUSZ that works to help you fill your appointment book and increase your income. © 2016 The Esthetician Mentor www.theestheticanmentor.com Hey Beauty Biz Practitioner, "SFZPVGFFMJOHSFBEZGPSBTJNQMFGVOBOENBTTJWFSFTVMUTCBTFE NFUIPEUPIFMQZPVBUUSBDUNPSFDMJFOUTHFUNPSFSFGFSSBMTBOENBLF NPSFNPOFZ *GZPVhSFUIJOLJOHJUhTUJNFUPVQZPVSHBNFUIFOSFBEPOCFDBVTF*IBWF EFTJHOFEUIFGPMMPXJOHTVDDFTTQSPHSBNXJUIZPVJONJOE 'PSBTVQFSMPXJOWFTUNFOU*XJMMCFIBOEJOHZPVFWFSZUIJOHZPVOFFE UPDSFBUFUIF#FBVUZ#J[1SBDUJDFPGZPVS%3&".4 Meet the 60-Day Beauty Biz Success Challenge... 5IF%BZ#FBVUZ#J[4VDDFTT$IBMMFOHFJTBRVJDLTUBSUNFUIPEUP JOTUBOUMZBUUSBDUNPSFDMJFOUTFGGPSUMFTTMZHFOFSBUFNPSFSFGFSSBMTBOE SBQJEMZJODSFBTFZPVSQSPGJUT %VSJOHUIFDIBMMFOHFZPVXJMMGJOEZPVSTFMGJNNFSTFEJOBGJFMEUFTUFE BOEQSPWFOQSPHSBNQBDLFEGVMMPGMPXDPTUBOEFBTZUPGPMMPXNJOETFU TIJGUTTVDDFTTTUSBUFHJFTNBSLFUJOHJEFBTBOENZWFSZPXOJOEVTUSZ TQFDJGJDUSBEFTFDSFUT 5IF%BZ#FBVUZ#J[4VDDFTT$IBMMFOHFJTOFBUMZMBJEPVUUPHVJEFZPV UISPVHIBMMNZTVDDFTTTUSBUFHJFTBOETFDSFUTUPHSPXJOHZPVSCVTJOFTT BOEJODSFBTJOHZPVSJODPNF © 2016 The Esthetician Mentor www.theestheticanmentor.com Since the start of the challenge, I'm just over $5,600 and my week isn't over...
