5 numbers you need to control

Too many owners and coaches focus on the wrong numbers.

Focus your team on these 5 things and watch your profits increase!

Slick's Co-Founder, Rob Smith, explains the theory in this video

1. Occupancy

This one's a no brainer: if you're not getting as many bookings as you can, you're leaving cash on the table

How is this calculated?
Occupancy is the % of white space in your team's diary. How many of their seats are empty with no bums on them?

*Based on average appointments per month of 296 and average bill of £55

2. Cancellations

The average salon loses £2,500 every month. Guess who’s still paying the rent, wages, utilities, even though that slot is now empty? You! Can you afford it?

How is it calculated?
The total number of cancelled appointments divided by the total number of appointments


*Based on average appointments per month of 296 and average bill of £55

3. Average Bill

Pricing is the foundation of your business. Profit or loss starts here. Then you need the tools to upsell retail, second services and vouchers. Let us do the heavy lifting for you!

How is Average Bill calculated?
The total amount of revenue you receive, divided by the total number of payments you receive from clients.

*Based on average appointments per month of 296 and average bill of £55

4. Rebookings

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!

How is this calculated?
The % of clients that have rebooked within X time of their previous appointment.


*Based on average appointments per month of 296 and average bill of £55

5. Visit Frequency

Is Mrs Smith coming in every 8-11 weeks or every 20? Thats a BIG difference to revenue. We have all the tricks and tips to prompt clients to book in their proper cycles - we want them looking fresh, right?!

How is this calculated?
The number of weeks between visits irrespective of whether they visit for a colour, a cut or a fringe trim.

*Based on 500 clients and average bill of £55
