The 5% Rule That Doubles Your Salon Income | Client Retention Strategy for Hairstylists

Описание: If you've ever felt burnt out chasing new clients, posting non-stop, or relying on social media for every dollar you make... this episode will completely shift the way you see your beauty business.

Today, we dive deep into the #1 growth strategy that top-performing stylists and salon owners use: CLIENT RETENTION.
Not more followers, not more "new client" posts, not going viral.

You'll learn why retention creates more income, more stability, and more freedom than any marketing trend - plus the systems, mindsets, and strategies that help you keep clients for years, not just one appointment.

Whether you're a stylist, colorist, esthetician, or independent beauty provider, this episode will help you build a retainable business - one that grows without burnout.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN in this Episode:
1. Why retention is more profitable than constant client acquisition
2. How a 5% increase in retention can raise your income by up to 95%
3. Why new clients drain energy, time, and money
4. The real cost of acquiring clients (CAC)
5. Why returning clients spend more, pre-book more, and refer more
6. How retention saved my business (even during the 2008 crash)
7. Why you only need 80 to 120 loyal clients to thrive
8. Simple retention systems you can implement immediately
9. The 3-Touch retention method that keeps clients coming back
10. The biggest retention mistakes stylists make without realizing
