Only 12 very special spa business owners will take part in
Keith West-Harrison’s 3-day Business Enrichment Intensive

Does this sound familiar?

It’s early morning and the alarm clock screams to life, jolting you awake. You really need more sleep, but the spa or salon is waiting, so you quickly shower, grab a bite to eat and a strong cup of coffee. You head to the office hoping to finally catch up on some of the never-ending paperwork before the phones start ringing or people start interrupting you.

A moment of peace…until the day goes haywire.

Customers. Emergencies. Sick employees. Contractor out of town. Vendor out of stock. Phone goes unanswered. Meetings and more meetings. Sales calls. Lawyers, accountants and bankers. Need more sales! How can we make more sales? Quick lunch. Feeling run down. More problems, phone calls and requests on your time. Pay the bills. Pay the bills. Can we cover the bills? Phone still ringing. Voice mail. Email. Information Overload. What was I doing? Oh yeah, now I remember. Back to work. Interruption. Details, always more details! Taxes, Paperwork. Ideas, more ideas and more ideas cramming through my brain.

Will I ever get this To-Do list DONE? Interrupted again. Maybe if I just get more education. What am I doing wrong – running a business was supposed to be liberating? Why do I feel like I’m in a cage – a slave to my business? Interrupted again. Now my family needs something – will this ever end?

Our October 26, 27 and 28, 2008 seminar can change all this!

Of course you want more sales in your business, more money in your pocket and more free time to spend doing the things you love. You’ve tried time and time again to hire the right people, delegate, systematize and free up your time.

You’ve read books, attended seminars, consulted with experts and you just don’t know who or what to believe anymore, so you finally throw up your hands in defeat, adopting the famously simple, profit-killing sentence: "Just Forget it, I’ll Do It Myself"

So let’s get real. You’re a business owner by choice, right? And now here you are, working 18 hour days (or more), feeling more like an employee than a freedom-loving business owner and no matter how hard you try to do the right thing, it’s just not working out. I understand completely.

You can find all sorts of places to help you write a business plan and get money, but nobody is teaching you what to do to truly manage your business in a way that supports the most important person in the organization – YOU! So while it’s not your fault, it IS your responsibility to decide whether you are going to be a statistic, or a success.
You pick. The decision is completely yours.

I have not always been a successful spa guru. In fact, I spent years struggling to figure it all out. I remember way back in my first spa business. Boy, was I missing the point and I didn’t even know it.

I wish I had known 20 years ago what I know today about building better spa businesses…but you can benefit from my mistakes and literally cut through whatever is holding you back in a fraction of the time.

I’ve always believed that time, knowledge and expertise is best shared when it is leveraged. I didn't go to business school to learn how to grow my business, but after spending over 20 years in business for myself, I really want to share with you what I’ve learned.

NOW, you can take this opportunity to step up to the plate and take control of your success.
...Or you can continue to struggle and work really hard, live in frustration and overwhelm and keep paddling under water like the stressed-out duck trying to cross the pond. You can also choose to move forward with ease and grace, like the powerful swan who crosses the pond with two simple kicks of a leg.

All you have to do is sign up online at www.SpaEnrichmentStrategies.com/intensive or call us to make sure this program is right for you at 1-800-884-1656.

Supernatural Award Plaques will be presented to celebrate the success of many attendees during their Salute to Excellence Award Ceremony.

Share The Wealth: John Amico Products sell directly to each salon and hair designer with no middleman or distributor within the Share The Wealth Network of almost 9000 members, allowing direct communications and dramatically reduced costs. They offer over 1,500 professional hair, skin, spa and beautycare products within nine diverse professional product systems. This special Share the Wealth Program is also a profit-sharing membership program where participants receive dividends as well as bring in monthly profits from their hosted members. This includes an array of free regional and national education as well as ongoing marketing and PR support.

CallSource

The astounding cost of poor inquiry handling can mean your healthcare practice is losing 90% of your advertising investment when the phone rings.

It's an alarming fact that poor phone skills result in annual lost revenues per practice ranging from the tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars annually. And what's worse, the practitioner is likely to be totally unaware of the problem.

This White Paper presents a revealing and insightful case history example of how this serious problem was revealed and rectified in one healthcare practice. The diagnosis, treatment and recovery process brings into play a quantitative and qualitative call tracking and recording technology that:

• Reliably tracks telephone response activity with automated, online reporting;
• Captures more immediate, appointmentsetting and patient conversion opportunity;
• Provides real-time validation of marketing program effectiveness and ROI;
• Helps direct meaningful adjustments to media, messaging and staffing;
• Documents weaknesses in office routine, such as missed calls and lost caller information;
• Monitors quality of service, identifies training needs and script refinement;
• Facilitates digital recording of calls to improve response and more.
