Hi geeks,
As some of you know i am just about to open my first salon (eeeeek) and we already have a few staff members.
I've met them and they all seem very friendly and have a good work ethic, however the retail numbers are poor.
I don't believe it's their fault, i don't think its something that has been trained, focused on, or reminded about.
We are streamlining to just 1 range of haircare, and one range of styling products, we are going with the new Wella Invigo and Eimi ranges.
My question is, how would you go about training them, without terrifying them!?
I want to get the rep to come in and do a talk on the new products, then set them targets, atm they get 10% of anything they sell but this is'nt motivating any of them on its own. Then I'm going to find out what it is that will motivate them and see if we can incorporate that into a target, so things like extra holiday, later starts, training sessions at Wella, or new tools. And finally i will actually train them in sales, I'm great at sales, and im good at explaining things, i just dont want to scare my team haha!
Any thing any of you would do differently, add in or suggestions?
Thanks x
