GROW 4 Marketing

This is a great book. I want to share, a couple of my fav sayings in this book.

“Its not just about getting more in the bucket, sometimes its about fixing the hole first.” “No amount of training and systems manuals can replace common sense, initiative, personal service and having someone who genuinely cares.”

I found out that I could do all this marketing but if I didn't have the right people or the stylists trained enough or their understanding of our salons values, expectations, mission, vision and visa versa. There was no point may as well just put that money down the toilet! Thank you Antony this is a great eye opener, motivator and refresher!
