EP 316: Own Your Story with Allison Walsh

mindset

Your brand is not your logo or your color palette.

Those things may be part of your brand kit, but your actual brand is the foundation of everything you bring to life both inside and outside of your business.

It’s your message. It’s your reputation. It’s the words you want people to use to describe who you are.

You get to set the boundary of how much of your story is shared with the world, but establishing yourself as an expert in your field builds trust and credibility with people who ultimately want to gravitate towards you and your brand.

My guest on today’s episode of the Spa Marketing Made Easy podcast is Allison Walsh, JD, the founder of Allison Walsh Consulting, host of the She Believed She Could podcast, and the creator of impactful coaching programs, where she focuses on helping women develop confidence and leverage their personal brands personally and professionally to scale their businesses, careers, and influence while making an impact.

Allison is a seasoned executive, philanthropist, keynote speaker, consultant, and Miss Florida 2006. She serves as Vice President of Clinical Outreach for Charlie Health, a national provider and industry leader in adolescent and young adult mental health.

She’s raised over $2 Million for eating disorders prevention and awareness, serves on multiple nonprofit boards, and has received numerous local, state, and national awards for her professional and philanthropic contributions.

In this episode, we discuss:

Owning who you are and tying that into your brand
The overarching message for Allison’s work
Defining the personal boundary of what’s appropriate to share
Importance of self-talk and the impact it has on your business and life

EP 314: How to Establish and Communicate Healthy Boundaries with Christine Seibold

Boundary is a word often tiptoed around because to set them properly, you need to step outside of your comfort zone.

And that’s a hard place to be in life or business.

In both your professional and personal lives, boundaries are an essential piece to establishing what you will and won’t tolerate from employees or loved ones.

And you need to look inward to figure out what you DO want.

I sat down to talk with Christine Seibold, an author, community founder, and a business and mindset coach, in today’s episode of the Spa Marketing Made Easy podcast.

Christine left her job at Harvard University in September 2018 to move to Miami, FL to open her own business – Freelance N’ Freedom.

Today she helps female virtual assistants leave their 9 to 5 jobs and start their own businesses, which is truly exciting and satisfying work. She also serves as a business and mindset coach in a couple of group coaching programs, as well as with her own clients. In January of 2020, she founded a women’s entrepreneur group in Seville, Spain called Femprendedoras.

In this episode, we discuss:

Mindset and how it’s a choice we all get to make each day
Christine’s 5 steps to establishing clear and direct boundaries
The power of affirmations and finding your avenue that helps you stay accountable with your boundaries
Importance of self-love and making yourself a priority

EP 313: Why Retail Matters in Spa

January 9, 2023

marketing

When retail numbers go up, so do service sales.

Retail matters in your spa because it helps you provide more for your clients beyond the treatment room.

An important tip is to view sales as a form of service. It doesn’t have to be “salesy.” It’s a conversation where you dig deep with your client to figure out the best course of action for them to achieve their skincare goals.

I like to say – speak to your client about retail how you would speak to your BFF or your mom.

The retail you sell is an extension of your spa and fosters good client relationships to keep them coming back.

In this week’s episode of Spa Marketing Made Easy, I’m answering all your questions about retail – why it’s important, how you should track it, and ways to get your team on board with selling.

In this episode, we discuss:

The recommended number of skincare lines for your spa
Metrics to use to track retail sales
Three reasons why estheticians may be hesitant to sell retail
Importance of 1-on-1 coaching with your team around retail

Navigating the ebb and flow of entrepreneurship requires an important skill: resiliency.

“Nothing changes if nothing changes” is a statement you’ll hear me repeat often because in order to reach a new level in business, you have to get serious about your goals.

Not only do you need to get serious – you need to take action.

You are the one in control of setting your goals and commitments based on the life you want to live.

After defining your financial goals, the next step is to get crystal clear on the amount of time you need to set aside on your calendar to achieve those goals.

In this episode of Spa Marketing Made Easy, I’m covering the questions to consider before 2023 that will help you define the proper work/life balance for you in this season of life, plus advice on how to assess your current pricing structure and services profitability.

In this episode, we discuss:

Getting clear about your vision for your company and your entrepreneurial path
Defining the really important things in 2022 that you didn’t have time to dedicate your focus on
Understanding your season of life and how that affects your work schedule
Planning questions to ask yourself to map out your spa’s pricing and services

EP 310: Setting Smart Financial Goals – Part 1 – 2023 Annual Planning

A hard truth I share often is “if you aren’t paying yourself, unfortunately you have a very expensive, time-consuming hobby.”

I know that sounds really harsh, but I share that because I want you to start building a positive relationship with your money.

Money doesn’t define your worth – it’s a tool that is used to measure the health of your business and it guides you to make smart, database decisions.

As we prepare to turn the calendar over for a new year, understanding how to set your financial goals based on how much you want to pay yourself is vital for spa owners to get serious about their money.

That’s why in this episode of Spa Marketing Made Easy, we cover the financial percentage breakdown I use and recommend for spa, plus how to set milestone goals for weekly, monthly, and annually financial goals.

In this episode, we discuss:

The percentage breakdown I recommend for organizing your weekly revenue
Planning questions to ask yourself to map out what you need to make to build the life that you (and your family) want to live
How to divide an annual revenue goal into monthly, weekly, and daily micro goals based on the number of providers in your spa
One strategy to implement in your spa to prioritize employee engagement and to help them feel a sense of accomplishment and worth

EP 309: Capturing 250+ New Client Leads through Facebook Groups with Maria Ramos

December 12, 2022

marketing

Where is the first place people go to share recommendations, give reviews, and connect with other people in their communities?

Facebook AKA the new “digital word-of-mouth” platform.

We live in a world where the moment an experience ends, we want to tell others about it – both the good and the bad.

This is why you’ll often hear me talk about how in order to attract new clients, you need to meet them where they are online. That place is inside Facebook groups.

In this episode of Spa Marketing Made Easy, Maria Ramos, known to her 76,000 Facebook group members as “The Money Making Esthetician,” joins me to share how she gained 250+ new leads by implementing a Facebook groups marketing strategy she heard right here on our podcast.

Before we dive in, I want to preface that today’s episode is not about building your own Facebook group from scratch (which could be a good strategy depending on your business), but rather how you can leverage established active Facebook groups in your area.

In this episode, we discuss:

Results Maria experienced after implementing this Facebook group strategy
Importance for new providers to get hands-on experience during the onboarding process
The use of a Google Form to capture lead information and segmenting those leads by area of interest
Focusing on providing a quality experience for every client, especially when it’s for new providers’ practice
