[169] How Many Clients Do You Actually Need for 10k/Months (SHOCKING Math Breakdown)

 "How Many Clients Do You Actually Need for a $10K Month? (Shocking Math Breakdown)"

In this training I…

  • Show hairstylists exactly how to check if your prices/timing are in flow or out of flow.

  • Show you how to calculate your own needed clients

  • Show you the few factors that YOU CONTROL that impact this formula (time, scheduling, charging for everything)

STYLIST HAILEY

Avg Ticket = 200
Hours per week = 30
Rebooking percentage = 60
Number of clients on your schedule for the next 4 weeks= 10

FIND YOUR CLIENTS/MONTH GOAL

10,000 / avg ticket = how many clients

10,000/200 = 50 clients/month GOAL

CROSS-CHECK YOUR TIMING

50 clients per month

30 hours / week x4= 120 hours/month

120 hours / 50 clients = 2.5 hours per client

This shows you where you are with your timing. 

If your avg appointment length is 4 hours, here is your MAX OUT per month.

120/4= 33 Guests per month maximum

33 x 200 = $6,600

4 HOUR APPOINTMENTS = 33 GUESTS/MONTH = $6,600

  • First goal could be to raise prices once you reach this amount

  • Work on timing

  • Work on increasing avg ticket

HOW RETENTION FACTORS IN

Your rebooking rate determines how many clients you NEED TO SEE IN ORDER TO KEEP 50 CLIENTS/MONTH.

IF YOU’RE STARTING FROM SCRATCH and have 0 clients on your schedule…

80% rebooking rate = 60 clients to keep 50

60% rebooking rate = 80 clients to keep 50

50% rebooking rate = 100 clients to keep 50

The lower your rebooking rate, the longer it will take you to reach your goal client count.

HOW LONG TO REACH YOUR GOAL

2 new clients/month = 2 years

5 new clients/month = 1 year

11 new clients/month = 6 months

The dial YOU can control is your marketing and attraction methods!

It’s easier to put yourself out there and put out the effort when you know there is an “end” in sight.

It’s harder when we don’t know what we’re reaching for or if we’re going to really be able to make it happen.
