EPISODE TRANSCRIPT
Today, 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.
The heart of this conversation is about protecting your team’s energy and ensuring your spa’s environment remains positive and productive.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Identifying a bad client and understanding the impact they have on your spa and team.
- Key questions to ask yourself before making the decision to part ways with a client.
- Strategies for clear communication and enforcing policies to prevent misunderstandings.
- Best practices for firing a client with dignity, including how to craft a respectful goodbye message.
- Plus, we created a sample email that you can download and use as a template.

EPISODE TRANSCRIPT
If you’ve been a long-time listener of the Spa Marketing Made Easy podcast, you’ll remember back in November I introduced my team’s next endeavor – Addo Wellness Institute, the first post-secondary school specializing in the business of aesthetics!
We’ve been moving right along since 2024 kicked off with our inaugural Spa Manager Certification course.
And I will say, after all of these years working primarily with spa owners, it’s incredible to witness the level of commitment these spa managers have to the spas they work at and the Spa CEO they work for.
As part of that course, we host one in-person event in Salt Lake City, Utah for the students to meet in-person and get more hands-on lessons from our teachers.
In today’s episode, I’m sharing a full debrief from the event, plus more details about the Spa Manager Certification.
If you are a spa owner, current spa manager, or aspiring spa manager interested in learning more about Addo Wellness Institute’s Spa Manager Certification, this episode is a must-listen!
In this episode, I discuss:
- Addo Wellness Institute’s first Spa Manager Certification in-person event
- The positive morale and attitudes of the course’s students
- Key differences that separate the CEO from the Spa Manager role
- Three scenarios discussed at the event that can be used as a lesson to facilitate in your spa

Episode Transcript
If I had to rank my top shared insights on the Spa Marketing Made Easy podcast, “leadership is a learned skill” would definitely make my Top 3.
That’s what today’s episode is all about. I’m asking you the one question all Spa CEOs need to be asking themselves in regards to leadership.
I’ve been transparent that it’s really hard (nearly impossible) to cross the million dollar mark as a solo.
If you find yourself trying to figure out a way to increase your monthly revenue number, it’s time to consider bringing on a spa manager.
However…
Before you can jump in and hire a role that is essentially an extension of you – the Spa CEO – you need to understand if you’re in a place where your leadership skills are ready to delegate and manage.
This episode is going to help you answer the hard leadership questions and give you a clear understanding of how a Spa Manager can benefit your business.
In this episode, I discuss:
- My personal experiences with leadership
- The recognition that leadership is a learned skill that’s constantly evolving
- A full detailed list of spa manager responsibilities
- Not settling back into old patterns if you’ve lost sight of your goals – there is always room to push reset and begin again
- An exercise of taking an honest assessment of your business and options for the right next step forward
