The Emotional Connection Between Sales and Client Happiness
Did it ever cross your mind that clients can feel a bit down when we don't suggest products, services, or promotions to them? Because it's not just about the sale β it's about the emotional connection that sales make!
Here's why:
π Missed Personalization: Our clients aren't just names on an appointment calendar; they're unique individuals with specific needs and desires. They absolutely love it when we take the time to tailor solutions just for them. It's like saying, "I see you, I hear you, and I've got the perfect solution for you."
π€ Trust & Expertise: As estheticians and spa owners, we're not just professionals; we're skincare gurus! Clients put their trust in us because they know we have the expertise to guide them toward the best choices for their skin. When we don't offer our recommendations, they might wonder, "Why didn't my trusted esthetician suggest something?"
π’ Desire for Enhancement: Every client walks into our spa seeking an elevated experience - they love surprises, too! They want more than just a service; they're yearning for an experience that leaves them feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Recommending that extra add-on or treatment enhancement can make all the difference in their day.
π Added Value: Let's face it, we all love a little extra pampering! When we suggest a product or service that complements what they came in for, it's like an unexpected gift. Clients cherish this added value and feel like they're getting more than they expected.
π€© VIP Status: They want to feel like they are insiders getting the secret info! If you aren't giving them the tips, tricks, and expert takes that you recommend for them, they may feel like you are intentionally keeping them out of the loop! Don't do that...give them the insider info every time!
At the end of the day: no, no, no, you are not being pushy, salesy, or ruining their relaxation by selling!
It's quite the opposite: so don't let them down! Offer more than a service β provide an elevated and customized experience. Recommending products, service add-ons, reminding them about your upcoming monthly specials and new menu items is EXACTLY what they want to hear from you.
Your clients adore you not just for the treatments you provide, but for the emotional connection you build. It's about making them feel seen, heard, and valued.
