Developing a Clientele

How do I develop a clientele?

You will build your client base the same way as beauticians, nail techs, doctors and other professionals do. They begin 

with family and friends, develop a good reputation, and word spreads.

Make a Contact List

  • Create your potential customer, hostess & team member list. A sheet or notebook for all of it in one place is best for tracking. Think in terms of creating an invitation list to a large church wedding. The average large church wedding in America sends out 150 family invitations, which encompasses 300-450 people inside those households. If you don’t have numbers, that’s okay, FB message them “Hey I have a favor to ask you, what’s your number so I can give you a call?!” I don’t mention why I’m asking until I can call them live with my booking script! If they live far away- THATS OKAY, we have virtual beauty options.

  • Add to this list each day as you meet or think of new people. 

Try this Exercise!

Now grab a pen and try the following exercise. You’ll be surprised how quickly your list grows! Write your contact list on a notebook piece of paper with their names and phone numbers!
