Summary
Episode description: Followers, likes, and comments feel like progress, but they're rarely why an esthetician actually becomes profitable. Allyson breaks down the six numbers she'd track every single week if she were starting over: conversations, referrals, rebooking percentage, average ticket, follow-ups, and client lifetime value, plus a real coaching story about a client whose retention problem was hiding behind what looked like a marketing problem. Show notes: This week's episode is about the numbers that actually grow a solo esthetics business, and follower count isn't one of them. Conversations. How many real conversations did you have this week, DMs, consultations, follow-ups? Clients rarely book without one first. Referrals. Not how many you got, how many you asked for. If the answer is zero, that's your answer. Rebooking percentage. If it's under 80%, that's worth looking at before you chase more new clients. Average ticket. Tracked over a month or three, not one appointment. Follow-ups. How many people are sitting in your phone waiting to hear back from you. Client lifetime value. What a client is actually worth over years, not one visit. Plus a real coaching story: a client whose new clients weren't sticking around, and what was actually missing (a conversation before booking, one during consult, and any follow-up after).
