Finding Balance

ACTIVITY: FINDING BALANCE

Ask the learner to think about where they strive for balance in their life and to record their response in their workbook.

Ask the learner to think about what they feel physically, mentally and emotionally when they are unbalanced and to record their response in their workbook.

Ask the learner to think about what they feel physically, mentally and emotionally when they are balanced and to record their response in their workbook.




Debrief the activity by asking the learner to share their responses.

Emphasize the following points with the learner:

– Balance is an important part of life. We often hear the term “work-life balance.”

– Aveda’s skin care philosophy is based on restoring the skin’s natural balance.

– Aveda has a skin care system to meet every guest’s needs, from basic to specialized.

Elemental NatureSM

ASK

Can you please read the Elemental NatureSM description aloud?

(Listen as the learner reads the Elemental NatureSM description:

Ayurveda, a 5,000 year-old Indian healing tradition, tells us


© 2012 Page 5 Rev. Date 4/26/2012


that the spirit of natural elements (infinity, air, fire, water and earth) are to be found in all living things, including you. When these elements are balanced, your skin looks healthy, vital and radiant. When skin concerns surface, it could be a signal that an element needs to be balanced.)

SAY

Thank you. Aveda’s philosophy begins with Elemental NatureSM—a unique way of understanding guests’ needs that is grounded in the science of Ayurveda. Ayur means “life,” and veda means “knowledge.” The five elements correspond to different skin types and conditions, and they help us determine which Aveda Skin Care system to recommend guests.

Let’s take a closer look at each element.

Slide 4




Page 86


Review Infinity/Air with the learner. Encourage them to take notes in their workbook:

Infinity is the open expanse of the universe. Air represents movement. Together, Infinity and Air control activity and vitality. Nourishment is a key word in balancing Infinity/Air-nature skin. Skin is depleted of nutrients, moisture and natural sebaceous oils.

Skin type: Normal to dry

Characteristics may include:

– Dryness

– Dehydration

– Flakiness

– Fine lines

– Wrinkles

– Lack of firmness

– Dullness

Aveda Skin Care systems:

– Botanical Kinetics™

– Green Science™


© 2012 Page 7 Rev. Date 4/26/2012


Slide 5




Page 86


Review Fire with the learner. Encourage them to take notes in their workbook:

Fire creates heat, which creates change or transformation. Fire is responsible for chemical, physical and mental transformations in the body. To create balance for Fire-nature skin, Aveda focuses on soothing and cooling products. Because Fire also is responsible for discoloration on the skin, products are often focused on evening skin tone and texture.

Skin type: Sensitive


– Sensitivity

– Redness

– Reactivity

– Hyperpigmentation/freckles

– Discoloration

– Pink undertones


– All-Sensitive

– Enbrightenment™


© 2012 Page 9 Rev. Date 4/26/2012


Slide 6




Page 86


Review Water/Earth with the learner. Encourage them to take notes in their workbook:

Water is the lubricating and connecting energy, binding the body together. Earth is solid and stable, responsible for the structure and stability of the body. To balance Water/Earth-nature skin, products focus on deep cleansing and purifying.

Skin type: Normal to oily


– Oiliness

– No or few wrinkles

– Larger pores

– Blackheads

– Acne/blemishes

– Combination skin



– Outer Peace™

SAY

Aveda also developed the Tourmaline Charged system, which balances all elements.

You might be wondering how you’ll know which skin care system to recommend if each element has two systems to balance it. Later in the training, you’ll learn how to perform an effective skin care consultation, which will help you determine the appropriate skin care system to recommend the guest.



Skin Care Product Knowledge and Service Tools

KEY POINTS

The purpose of this lesson is to review the tools the learner can use to improve their skin care product and service knowledge.

Slide 7

Give the learner copies of the Skin Care Positioning Chart, Shelftalkers, End Benefit Cards, Product Resource Guide and Elemental NatureSM Questionnaire.

SAY

By now, these tools should be familiar to you. Each product has its own set of Shelftalkers, End Benefit Cards and Product Resource Guide information. Each product domain (hair care, hair styling, skin care, etc.) has its own positioning chart, which typically includes the product system, their individual products and benefits and any other relevant information.

Direct the learner to the Skin Care Positioning Chart.


© 2012 Page 13 Rev. Date 4/26/2012


SAY

We won’t spend much time reviewing the Skin Care Positioning Chart, but I’d like to highlight a few things.

The Skin Care Positioning Chart is double-sided. One side lists Aveda’s basic skin care systems; the other side lists Aveda’s specialized skin care systems.

You’ll also notice that the Skin Care Positioning chart lists each product by step. Each step serves a specific function. Let’s review these steps now.

Page 87


Review the skin care steps with the learner. Instruct them to record each step in their workbook:

1. Cleanse

– Performed in a.m. and p.m.

– Removes dirt, oil and makeup

2. Exfoliate/Tone (a.m. and p.m.)


– Hydrates skin; remove dulls, dead skin cells; encourages younger, fresher skin cells

Note: The Botanical Kinetics™ system has two separate exfoliate and tone steps. The tone step is performed in the morning, and the exfoliate step is performed in the evening.

Note: Tourmaline Charged Radiant Skin Refiner is not used daily, but rather, weekly.

3. Treat (a.m. and/or p.m.)

– Performed in a.m. and/or p.m.

– Targets specific needs (e.g., lifting skin, relieving




acne)

Note: The Green Science™ system has two treatment products. The Lifting Serum is applied in the morning and evening, and the Line Minimizer is applied in the evening.

4. Eyes


– Sooths fine lines, minimizes puffiness and dark circles

5. Moisturize


– Hydrates skin

6. Masque

– Performed weekly

– Corrects imbalances or maintains results

SAY

Now we’re going to review each the Aveda Skin Care systems and their associated results and assign each individual product to its appropriate step. Then you’re going to spend some time experiencing them on your own.

Discover Needs (Skin Care)

KEY POINTS

The purpose of this lesson is to review the tools and service behaviors associated with discovering guests’ skin care needs, including how to use the Elemental NatureSM Questionnaire to perform the skin care consultation.

Slide 15

Direct the learner to the Elemental NatureSM Questionnaire.

SAY

The only tool that should be new to you is the Elemental NatureSM Questionnaire. Like the Hair Care Consultation Tool, the Elemental NatureSM Questionnaire is designed to help guide you and the guest through the skin care consultation. It includes a series of questions to ask them and space to record both their responses and your product recommendations.

Let’s take a closer look at how to use to use the Elemental Nature.SM Questionnaire to perform an effective skin care consultation.




Page 90


Review how to use, read and record product recommendations on the Elemental NatureSM Questionnaire with the learner. Instruct them to take notes in their workbook:

Using the Elemental NatureSM Questionnaire

1. Share the Elemental NatureSM philosophy with the guest. You can use the statement at the top of the Elemental NatureSM Questionnaire, or you can express it in your own words.

2. Ask the first question on the Elemental NatureSM Questionnaire: “How would you describe your skin?” As the guest responds, circle or put a checkmark next to any of the characteristics they say that are listed in the three “My skin has” columns.

3. Look for the column that has the most skin characteristics circled or checked. This is most likely the element most in need of balancing. Confirm the imbalance by asking if the guest has any additional concerns from that column that they may not have mentioned.

4. Ask the final two questions on the Elemental NatureSM Questionnaire: “What is the primary concern with your skin” and “Which products do you currently use on your skin?” Record the guest’s responses.

Pay particular attention to how the guest responds to the question: “What is the primary concern with your skin?” Should the guest have multiple skin concerns, their response to this question will guide you toward making the right skin care recommendation.

Reading the Elemental NatureSM Questionnaire

1. Look for the column that has the most skin characteristics circled or checked. This is most likely


© 2012 Page 29 Rev. Date 4/26/2012


the element most in need of balancing.

2. The tool is color-coded. Look for the following results:

– If you’ve circled or checked the most skin characteristics in the dark green boxes at the top of the column, recommend the basic skin care system formulated to balance that element:

• Infinity/Air: Botanical Kinetics™ Purifying Creme Cleanser, Exfoliant, Skin Firming/Toning Agent and Hydrating Lotion

• Fire: All-Sensitive™

• Water/Earth: Botanical Kinetics™ Gel Cleanser, Exfoliant, Toning Mist and Hydrating Lotion

– If you’ve circled or checked the most skin characteristics in the medium green boxes in the middle of the column, recommend the specialized skin care system formulated to balance that element.

• Infinity/ Air: Green Science™

• Fire: Enbrightenment™

• Water/Earth: Outer Peace™

– If you’ve circled or checked the most skin characteristics in the light grey box at the bottom of the column, recommend the Tourmaline Charged system.

3. Based on the guest’s skin characteristics and primary skin concern, recommend the appropriate skin care system.

Note: Guests with skin sensitivity should always be recommended the All-Sensitive™ system.

Recording product recommendations on the Elemental




NatureSM Questionnaire:

1. Turn the Elemental NatureSM Questionnaire over and record the guest’s current Elemental NatureSM imbalance.

2. Put a checkmark next to the skin care system you are recommending.

3. In the “Skin Care Recommendations” box, record the specific names of the skin care products you are recommending.

4. Put a checkmark next to the associated professional service recommendation.

5. Record any additional skin care recommendations/products.

6. Give the guest their completed Elemental NatureSM Questionnaire.

SAY

Based on the guest’s responses to the Elemental NatureSM Questionnaire, you’ll be able to recommend the appropriate skin care system that will meet their needs.

Let’s practice using the Elemental NatureSM Questionnaire to perform a skin care consultation.

ACTIVITY: SKIN CARE CONSULTATION ROLE PLAY

Instruct the learner to play the role of the guest while you play the role of the advisor. Use the learner’s own skin type as the scenario.

Ask the learner the questions from the Elemental NatureSM Questionnaire, and record their responses.

Review what you determined as their primary skin care concern and why.

Note: Do not make any product recommendations. The


© 2012 Page 31 Rev. Date 4/26/2012


purpose of this activity is to understand how to use the Elemental NatureSM Questionnaire to determine the guest’s primary skin care concern.

Switch roles, and instruct the learner to play the role of the advisor while you play the role of the guest. Use your own skin type as the scenario.

Allow the learner to reference their notes if necessary, and coach them as needed.

Debrief the activity by giving the learner feedback on what they did well and what they could improve.

Demonstrate the things you are asking the learner to do differently, and then have them practice the new behavior.

SAY

Great job on the role play! If you’ve performed an effective consultation, you should have the information you need to provide solutions.



Provide Solutions (Skin Care)

KEY POINTS

The purpose of this lesson is to review the tools and service behaviors associated with providing appropriate solutions for guests’ skin care needs, including reinforcing how to use the solutions formula and Elemental NatureSM Questionnaire to give product recommendations and how to perform the Skin Care Experience.

Slide 16

SAY

By now, you know that you use the solutions formula (“Because (guest challenge/need) I recommend (system) which will (results)”) to recommend product systems to guests.

Pages 91–92


Skin Care Needs and Solutions Formulas

ACTIVITY: SKIN CARE NEEDS AND SOLUTIONS FORMULAS

Instruct the learner to read the skin care scenarios in their workbook, determine the appropriate product system solutions and record the associated solutions

SAY

Great job! Remember, part of providing solutions is to suggest and educate on a system of three or more products. That’s why it’s important to remember which products should be applied in the morning, evening or both.

After you’ve suggested and educated on a system of three or more products, you’ll need to provide a Purescription™ by recording your recommendation in writing on an Elemental NatureSM Questionnaire to give to the guest to take home with them.

As we did in the last module, we’re going to skip over two of the other provide solutions service behaviors—share a reason we’re different: mission, packaging, sourcing, etc., and introduce what’s new because you already learned about these service behaviors earlier in the Connect Aveda training and you can easily incorporate them into the consultation.

The last provide solutions service behavior is to offer an Aveda Ritual of Renewal, which as I’m sure you remember, is part of the complete Skin Care Experience.

ASK

Do you remember the three parts of the complete Hair Care Experience?

(Listen for: Hair care consultation, Signature Hair Styling Ritual, Stress-Relieving Hand Ritual or Stress-Relieving Neck and Shoulders Ritual.)

SAY

That’s right. We offer elite skin care guests a similar experience.




Slide 17

Page 93


Skin Care Experience

SAY

The complete Skin Care Experience consists of:

1. Skin care consultation

2. Balancing Skin Care Ritual

3. Stress-Relieving Hand Ritual using Hand Relief,™ Stress-Fix™ Body Lotion or the recommended moisturizer

However, just like with hair care guests, it’s important to remember that some guests may not have as much time to spend with us. With instant guests, the Skin Care Experience could consist of a skin care consultation and a quick application of the skin care product you’re recommending on the hand.


© 2012 Page 37 Rev. Date 4/26/2012


IMPORTANT NOTE

Demonstrate how to perform a quick application of a skin care product on the learner’s hand.

Page 93


Balancing Skin Care Ritual

SAY

Let’s take a closer look at the Balancing Skin Care Ritual now.

Give the learner a copy of the Balancing Skin Care Ritual Protocol.

SAY

After performing the skin care consultation, use the Aveda Skin Care system you determined to be most appropriate for the guest to perform the Balancing Skin Care Ritual.

ACTIVITY: BALANCING SKIN CARE RITUAL DEMONSTRATION AND PRACTICE

Invite a team member to join you and the learner. Instruct the team member to play the role of the guest while you play the role of the advisor.

Explain that you are going to demonstrate how to perform the Balancing Skin Care Ritual on the team member and that the learner will eventually have the opportunity to practice performing the ritual on another




team member.

Explain each step in your own words before demonstrating, using the protocol for reference. Instruct the learner to take notes in their workbook.

After you’ve demonstrated how to perform the ritual, invite another team member to join you and the learner. Instruct the team member to play the role of the guest while the learner plays the role of the advisor.


Debrief the ritual by giving the learner feedback on what they did well and what they could improve.

Body Care Product Knowledge and Service Tools

KEY POINTS

The purpose of this lesson is to review the tools the learner can use to improve their body care product and service knowledge.

Slide 18

Give the learner copies of the Body Care Positioning Chart, Shelftalkers, End Benefit Cards and Product Resource Guide.

SAY

Again, all of these tools should be familiar to you.




Slide 19

Direct the learner to the Body Care Positioning Chart.

SAY

We won’t spend much time reviewing the body care product knowledge tools, but I’d like to highlight a few things.

The Body Care Positioning Chart is double-sided. One side lists Aveda’s body care systems and their individual products and benefits; the other side lists them by category.

Now we’re going to review some of the body care categories and their associated products and results. Then you’re going to spend some time experiencing them on your own.


© 2012 Page 41 Rev. Date 4/26/2012


Slide 20

SAY

Caribbean Therapy™ is a line of products inspired by the healing traditions, plants and aromas of the Caribbean. Each product features the warm island aroma of bay, vetiver and lime that rejuvenates the senses.

Slide 21




SAY

The conditioning body care category includes Aveda’s compositions and body formulas. These products are important tools for creating customized solutions that meet guests’ specific body care needs and can be used in a variety of ways, including pre-cleansing and conditioning facial skin, massage and aroma customization and enhancement. The functional aroma of each blend works physiologically and psychologically.

Slide 22

SAY

The Rosemary Mint body collection revitalizes the skin while invigorating the senses with the cooling benefit of peppermint.


© 2012 Page 43 Rev. Date 4/26/2012


Slide 23

SAY

The spa/body category is a classic category that includes Aveda’s spa basics that allow guests to bring the spa home with them.

Slide 24

SAY

The Stress-Fix™ line of products feature an aroma that is clinically proven to relieve feelings of stress.

Pages 94–96 Direct learners to the Connect Aveda Participant Workbook.




Body Care Product Discovery

ACTIVITY: BODY CARE PRODUCT DISCOVERY

Explain that the learner will use product testers to experience each body care product.

Instruct the learner to experience the products in the order they are listed in their workbook (e.g., Caribbean Therapy,™ Conditioning Body Care, Massage Care, etc.).

Instruct the learner to apply a small amount of each product to the back of their hand (using disposable applicators if necessary) to experience the product’s texture and aroma and to take notes in their workbook.

As the learner has experiences each product, instruct them to record the product’s associated benefit and to make note of any questions they may have.

After the learner has experienced each product, answer their questions, and then ask them the following product-specific questions:

– What differences did you notice between Caribbean Therapy™ Body Creme, Replenishing Body Moisturizer and Stress-Fix™ Body Lotion?

– How would you describe Smoothing Body Polish to a guest?

– How would you describe Caribbean Therapy™ Body Scrub to a guest?

– What did you notice about the texture of Beautifying Composition™ compared to Calming Composition™ and Energizing Composition?™

– What differences did you notice between Active Composition™ and Blue Oil Balancing Concentrate?


© 2012 Page 45 Rev. Date 4/26/2012


– How would you describe Stress-Fix™ Concentrate to a guest?

When they are finished, use the Body Care Positioning Chart to check their answers, making sure to explain any inaccuracies.

Discover Needs (Body Care)

KEY POINTS

The purpose of this lesson is to review the tools and service behaviors associated with discovering guests’ body care needs, including how to perform the body care consultation.

Slide 25

SAY

When discovering guests’ body care guests, we ask a series of consultation questions similar to the ones on the Elemental NatureSM Questionnaire.

Page 97


Review the body care consultation questions with the learner. Instruct them to record the questions in their workbook:

1. Tell me about your skin.

2. What body care products are you currently using?

3. What is important to you when choosing body care products?

4. What type of aromas are you typically drawn to?



Discover Needs (Body Care)

SAY

Based on the guest’s responses to the body care consultation questions, you’ll be able to recommend the appropriate body care system that will meet their needs.


© 2012 Page 49 Rev. Date 4/26/2012

Provide Solutions (Body Care)

KEY POINTS

The purpose of this lesson is to review the tools and service behaviors associated with providing appropriate solutions for guests’ body care needs, including reinforcing how to use the solutions formula to give product recommendations.

Slide 26

SAY

Just like with hair care, hair styling and skin care, body care products should be recommended in complete systems; that is, three or more products.

Any three products can create a body care system. With body care guests, you can recommend product systems based on aroma or product benefit.

For example, for a guest who wants a daily body care regimen, you could use the solutions formula to recommend Calming Body Cleanser, Smoothing Body Polish and Replenishing Body Moisturizer. Or, if the guest tells you they enjoy a minty aroma, you could recommend Rosemary Mint Hand and Body Wash, Rosemary Mint Body Lotion and Blue Oil Balancing Concentrate.





Body Care Needs and Solutions Formulas

ACTIVITY: BODY CARE NEEDS AND SOLUTIONS FORMULAS

Instruct the learner to read the body care scenarios in their workbook, determine the appropriate product system solutions and record the associated solutions formulas.

Debrief the activity by asking the learner to share their product system solutions and associated solutions formulas:

1. Guest wants a calming bath experience.

(Soothing Aqua Therapy, Calming Body Cleanser, Calming Composition™

Solutions Formula: “Because you said you want a calming bath experience, I recommend Soothing Aqua Therapy, Calming Body Cleanser and Calming Composition,™ which hydrate your skin and calm your senses.”)

Note: Stress-Fix™ Soaking Salts is an acceptable alternate response to Soothing Aqua Therapy.

2. Guest wants a basic, daily body care regimen without much aroma.

(Refreshing Bath Bar, All-Sensitive™ Body Formula, Replenishing Body Moisturizer

Solutions Formula: “Because you said you want a basic, daily body care regimen without much aroma, I recommend the Refreshing Bath Bar, All-Sensitive™ Body Formula and Replenishing Body Moisturizer, which will provide you with basic cleansing and moisturizing benefits without overpowering you with aroma.”)


© 2012 Page 51 Rev. Date 4/26/2012


Note: Personal Blends™ Total Body Cleansing Formula, Massage Formula and Hydrating Formula are acceptable alternate responses to Refreshing Bath Bar, All-Sensitive™ Body Formula and Replenishing Body Moisturizer respectively.

3. Guest wants a rich lotion for body, hands and feet.

(Caribbean Therapy™ Body Creme, Hand Relief,™ Foot Relief

Solutions Formula: “Because you said you want a rich lotion for body, hands and feet, I recommend Caribbean Therapy Body Creme, Hand Relief™ and Foot Relief,™ which will provide the rich, thick texture you’re looking for while moisturizing and promoting visible improvements in skin texture.”)

Note: Stress-Fix™ Body Creme (launching April 2014) is an acceptable alternate response to Caribbean Therapy™ Body Creme.

SAY

Now it’s time to practice performing the body care guest experience.




ACTIVITY: BODY CARE CONSULTATION ROLE PLAY

Instruct the learner to play the role of the advisor while you play the role of the guest. Use your own body care needs as the scenario.

Instruct the learner to ask you the body care consultation questions and to recommend a body care system using the solutions formula.

Aroma

KEY POINTS

The purpose of this lesson is to review the tools the learner can use to improve their aroma product and service knowledge.

Slide 27

Give the learner copies of the Pure-Fume™ Positioning Chart, Shelftalkers, End Benefit Cards and Product Resource Guide.



Aroma

SAY

Earlier in the Connect Aveda training, you learned that the sense of smell is linked directly to memory. Aromas can create new memories or bring back a moment in time with startling clarity. Unlike other senses, smell travels directly to the brain's limbic system, which is home to memory, emotion and imagination. Aveda uses naturally derived aromas, called pure-fumes,™ that are developed by natural perfumers and noted Ayurvedic experts.

You already experienced the Key Element™ Aromas during the Aroma Sensory Journey and the Chakra™ Balancing Body Mists during the Chakra™ Sensory Journey. Now we’re going to review some of the other pure-fume™ categories and their associated products and benefits. Then you’re going to spend some time experiencing them on your own.

Slide 28

SAY

Singular Notes are individual essential oils diluted in a base of coconut oil that can be used for body, bath or massage. Because they are diluted, they are safe for direct application to the skin. Depending on the aroma, Singular Notes stimulate or relax the senses.


© 2012 Page 55 Rev. Date 4/26/2012

Aroma

Slide 29

SAY

Earlier in the Connect Aveda training, you learned that the concept of the chakras comes from the 5,000-year-old ancient Indian tradition of Ayurveda.

Ayurveda recognizes seven chakras in the body, which are spinning wheels of colored energy that vibrate at different frequencies and emit different colors. These energy centers can be used to explore the physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual aspects of the self.

Chakra™ Balancing Body Mists are refreshing, aromatic body sprays formulated to balance the mind and body.



Aroma

Slide 30

– Renowned for centuries for therapeutic benefits, Dead Sea salts—magnesium, potassium, calcium chlorides and sodium bromides—detoxify and re-mineralize skin

– Meadowfoam seed oil and olive squalene combine to condition skin

Hydrating Formula

– Olive and coconut oils moisturize and condition skin and provide slip during massage treatments

– Oat extract and organic aloe vera soothe skin

Massage Formula

– Sweet almond, sesame and other oils lubricate and condition skin

Total Body Cleansing Formula (for hair and body)

– Babassu-derived system gently cleanses skin

– Tamanu oil and certified organic coconut oil help maintain the moisture balance of hair and body

Pure-Fume Spirit™ Formula

– Skin-soothing essential oils nurture skin

Aroma Observations

ACTIVITY: EXPERIENCE AVEDA AROMA

Instruct the learner to experience the remaining Aveda pure-fume™ products, including Singular Notes, pure-fume™ sprays, candles and diffuser oils.

While the learner is experiencing each product, instruct them to read its benefit and aroma description from the Pure-Fume™ Positioning Chart.

Debrief the activity by asking the learner what their favorite Aveda aroma is and why.

Slide 31

ASK

Do you remember how to perform the Aroma Sensory Journey and the Chakra™ Sensory Journey?

(Listen for: Yes.)

Of the two rituals, which one do you think you need more practice performing?

(Accept any answer.)

SAY

Great! Now’s your chance to practice!

ACTIVITY: AROMA SENSORY JOURNEY OR CHAKRA™ SENSORY JOURNEY PRACTICE

Instruct the learner to turn to the Rituals of Renewal chapter in their workbook and review the steps for performing the Aroma Sensory Journey or Chakra™ Sensory Journey, and ask if they have any questions.

Instruct the learner to perform the Aroma Sensory Journey or Chakra™ Sensory Journey on you, a team member or guest.






Aroma

SAY

Aroma is a very personal thing. One guest may love the smell of tea tree, and another may think it smells like a cleaning solution. The best thing you can do for an aroma guest is to guide them to the right kind of product, and then let them decide which aroma is right for them.


© 2012 Page 61 Rev. Date 4/26/2012

KEY POINTS

The purpose of this lesson is to give the learner further opportunities to observe and practice skin/body care and aroma service behaviors, test the learner’s skin/body care and aroma product knowledge and have the learner assess their skills and commit to developing their ability to discover and provide appropriate solutions for guests’ skin/body care and aroma needs as they grow into their role as an advisor.

SAY

Now it’s time to practice performing the service experience, from discover needs to provide solutions. Watch me as I demonstrate the complete Skin Care Experience. Afterward, you’ll have the opportunity to practice.

ACTIVITY: SKIN CARE EXPERIENCE DEMONSTRATION AND PRACTICE

Invite a team member to join you and the learner. Instruct the team member to play the role of the guest while you play the role of the advisor.

Create a skin care role play scenario using the team member’s skin type as the context.

Demonstrate the discover needs and provide solutions service behaviors, using any necessary skin care product knowledge and service tools:

– Ask a minimum of three open-ended questions to understand the guest’s needs.

• Ask the learner the questions from the Elemental Nature QuestionnaireSM and record their responses.

– Suggest and educate on a system of three or more products.

– Provide a Purescription.™

• Record your recommendations on the Elemental NatureSM Questionnaire.

– Introduce what’s new.

• Share the most current product or program focus or a product from a different domain.

After the role play, discuss each service behavior with the learner, and have them share their observations.

Switch roles, and instruct the learner to play the role of the advisor while you play the role of the guest. Use your own skin type as the scenario.


Debrief the activity by giving the learner feedback on
