How is this calculated?
Occupancy is the total amount of bookings you have, divided by the total amount of time you have

The easiest way to fill your diary is rebooking every client - this is something of a mantra at Slick HQ!

It's the easiest way of making sure your Occupany Rate stays as high as possible, without needing to worry about attracting new clients!

5. Visit Frequency

If clients are coming in once a month, that's great. If they're coming in twice a month, that's double great. And if you can do this for every single client, you'll double your money!

There are loads of different tricks and tactics you can use to try and increase how often your clients visit you

*Based on 500 clients and average bill of £55

“Amazing service and quality is outstanding”

"I really look forward to my sessions with my Business Coach, it helps me see my business so much clearer. They help me analyse my reports and give me ideas on how to prevent cancellations, attract new clients and be very targeting with my marketing to fill up any slots.

They then show me the success of what we've implemented. When I'm running a busy salon it's hard to find time to look at everything. These sessions are so important if you want your busienss to do well.”
