• Action: We went in an automated nearly 75% of activities. Client booking, payment, marketing campaigns, and tracking systems, Clock in systems, payroll, social media communication. Developed the clear plan for growth for opening the 2nd location. Outlined policies, procedures and expectations for salon team.

Salon managed all incoming money faster allowing them to pay stylists on time, customers were pre-booking online creating more structure to the day and her marketing was gaining traction because it was being done correctly.
