A Spa Owners Guide to Thriving Sales & Leadership in January

Get ready to conquer the dreaded January slow-down with my tried & true strategies for spa owners looking for a January sales boost and to lead with confidence, rather than getting sucked into the usual dread for our seasonal post-holiday slump. 

In my experience as a previous brick & mortar spa owner and now as a spa business coach, I’ve noticed most spa owners are so focused on getting through December they aren’t prepared for a drastic change in bookings and sales…even though it happens every year. Why aren’t they prepared when this high/low sales teeter-totter happens every year? 

Take Back Spa Business Control in the New Year

Honestly? I feel like many of you are so overwhelmed this time of year and maybe need a nudge to try January 2024 a little differently this year! 

In this episode, you will learn how to:

• Get started with your 2024 spa business planning 
• Set your mental heath & spa business up for success in the upcoming year.
• Leverage slow times to recharge and lead your spa with confidence.
• Schedule training for you or your spa teams to enhance performance and client results.
• Feature new services (not specials!) to attract more spa clients and increase bookings.

“Get your mindset right, and go into January with a plan to thrive. Solutions-based thinking is key to success.” - Kirsten Foss

Approach Spa Holiday Seasonality Differently

We can all agree that owning a spa is very demanding, and the chaotic month of December has the potential to lead to burnout. And yet, very quickly January arrives with its own sales & leadership frustrations! Use this podcast as your mid-December leadership pick-me-up and next steps to ensure time, money & energy freedom in 2024. 

Managing Your Scarcity Mindset As A Spa Owner

And while I’m not one to get sucked into the scarcity mindset when the media is screaming recession, I still want us all to be smart, savvy & strategic when it comes to dealing with consumer spending this year.
