Business can be a lot like sport…
Typically, when the game is over the experts do a post-mortem on the results and with great clarity they arrive at the conclusion as to why the winning team won.
But, regardless of the sport in question, essentially both teams, or opponents, are playing the same game, they have the same number of players. They play by the same rules and are essentially doing the same thing.
But it usually boils down to one team wins because ‘they are doing lots of little things better’ than the other team. And it’s the same in business…
Whether you are talking about one salon in the high street or Mall being more successful than the other.
Or one stylist being more successful than the other, it all comes down to ‘the winner is doing lots of little things differently.’
So, as a business or as a stylist, what are the little things that will make you a winner?
What are the little things that would set you apart, and that you could do better?
Is it the way you answer the phone?
Is it your consultations?
Is it your technical ability?
Is it your personal appearance?
Is it the finish on your work?
Is it your listening skills?
Is it your timekeeping?
Is it your social media skills?
Is it your communication skills?
Is it working as a team?
Is it your service levels?
Is it the experience that you give people?
Is it the relationships you build?
I’m sure you get the idea…
Whether it’s about the stylist thats winning in your salon or the salon that’s winning in your town or city, they are essentially doing the same thing as everyone else, they're just doing it better.
But just like in sport, you can't keep winning forever. You’ll have good seasons and bad seasons.
You’ll have times when your team members leave you or have just passed their peak.
And just like in sport there will be times when the passion and energy just isn’t their anymore, and your mojo has gone and you need to reinvent.
