When I’m not studying at Grove City College, I work as a full time hairstylist in Cleveland, Ohio. Going into the hair industry, I knew I needed creative and personal skills. I had no idea how much I would be involved in sales\/selling. I had no previous training in sales yet somehow, I was learning to apply strategies addressed in this course without even recognizing it. I quickly realized…. results sell. If you are able to demonstrate the convenience or benefit of a product\/ idea, a purchase on behalf of the consumer doesn’t take much convincing. I often employ this strategy by using specific products when styling a client’s hair. As I am styling, I explain what the product is and what it is designed to do. If the client loves the way their hair is styled, they are likely to purchase the products I used. To reiterate the idea of a sale, I place the products I suggested up at the front desk. This allows for a convenient purchase upon check out.<\/p>\n
Sales in the hair industry is heavily based on trust. When a client consistently utilizes my services and leaves feeling satisfied, they are willing to trust my guidance and act upon it. It is crucial in these instances to not abuse this position. I only recommend products\/additional services when I believe it would truly benefit the client or the client specifically inquires. This reinforces our service provider to client relationship. Not only this, but the client is likely to recommend me as a stylist if I have proven to be effective and honest. It is important to communicate in order to sell and reiterate the idea. However, an aggressive on the nose approach doesn’t tend to be as successful. There must be room for the customer to take initiative. Subconscious cues and demonstrations of products consistently bring in the most additional revenue. I’m excited upon return to my chair to employ some new strategies and observe their success rates.<\/p>\n
