In this week's episode Lauren discusses a super important topic for both the smooth running of your Business and the financial viability of your Business, Stock Control.

  • "You really don't want to run out of stock, as your Clients will see it as a lack of professionalism" .
  • "When you do your ordering only when supplies are low, you're setting yourself up for embarrassing situations and even Client cancellations".
  • "If you're not keeping track of your stock on a regular basis, you will most likely end up spending too much money".

How Lauren Handles Stock Control (Retail and Professional) in Her Salon.

  • Lauren uses a PRO POS & Stock Control System - Timely - Beauty Salon Software (13:00)
  • Lauren and her key staff do a weekly physical stock count and that is matched against the Timely Stock and Sales Reports. (15:15)
  • Stock ordering occurs once per week and a weekly stock budget is assigned. (16:50)
  • Delegation is key to long-term effective Stock Control and Ordering. (18:30)
  • Set up an alternate payment method for ordering (like a PayPal) if you're not comfortable allocating a dedicated card to staff. (20:00)
