Apr 13, 2024Today, we're addressing a scenario every spa owner will likely face at some point: the decision to fire a bad client. But what exactly makes a client "bad" for your business?
From those who consistently show up late or cancel at the last minute to those seeking endless discounts or disrespecting your team, we'll explore the types of behaviors that disrupt your business flow and negatively impact your team's morale.
Before you take the step to sever ties, I guide you through a reflective process. Have you set clear boundaries and communicated your policies effectively?
Sometimes, the solution starts with us.
For those moments when letting go of a client becomes necessary, we'll discuss how to handle the situation with professionalism, including a template for drafting that difficult email or letter.

In this episode, we discuss:
- Identifying a bad client and understanding the impact they have on your spa and team.
