Back to EpisodesE95. Half Booked to Booked Out - Client Optimisation
Description
This is the FREE RESOURCE I promised
"I need more clients" is the number one thing beauty business owners say to Kimberley. It is almost never the actual problem.
Most of the businesses she works with sit at 50 to 60% booked. That gap is not a marketing problem. It is an optimisation problem, and it is far cheaper to fix than finding new people. Katie added $10,000 a month to her business without a single piece of external marketing, purely by looking at the clients she already had.
In this episode Kimberley walks through the five numbers that move a beauty business from 50 to 60% booked up to 80 to 90%: your rebooking rate, your retention rate, your average client spend, your visit frequency and your retail percentage. She covers what to do before you touch any of them, which is pricing, and finishes on the client journey, which decides whether any of it sticks.
If you are constantly chasing new clients, this is the episode that tells you why.
