## Key takeaways

- Fair pay for stylists
- Know your income
- A smoother day
- Clients remembered

## What owners tell you

Salon owners juggle stylists, clients, products and cash. Without records, income and commission are guesses.

- Commission is calculated from memory.
- Product sales mix with service money and nobody knows which paid.
- Walk-ins and bookings clash and clients wait.
- Regular clients' history is in the stylist's head.
- Closing cash never matches what was expected.

## The words that sell

Owners do not buy equipment. They buy the day they want to have. These are the outcomes to talk about when you pitch a POS to salon.

**Fair pay for stylists**: Commission calculated from recorded services.

**Know your income**: Services and products separated.

**A smoother day**: Bookings and walk-ins in one place.

**Clients remembered**: History is on the screen.

## Say it like this

Short, plain lines work best. Use them as they are or put them in your own words.

- “Your stylists' commission will be worked out by the system, not by argument.”
- “You will see whether services or products made your money.”
- “Your clients will not wait, because a pager tells them when it is their turn.”
- “You will know your regulars by name and by what they like.”

## Your 30-second pitch

Say this when you have the owner's attention at the counter. Stop after the question and let them answer.

**Key takeaway**“Your stylists' commission will be worked out by the system, not by argument. You will see whether services or products made your money. Your clients will not wait, because a pager tells them when it is their turn. Can I measure your stations this week and send you a written quote?”

## What the POS gives them

| Part | What the owner gets |
| --- | --- |
| POS terminal or tablet | Services, products and tips in one screen |
| Receipt printer | Receipts for services and products |
| Cash drawer | Safe cash and quick change |
| Barcode scanner | Quick sales of shampoo and products |
| Pagers | Walk-in clients wait in comfort |
| UPS | Keeps the till going through power cuts |

## Answers to the usual objections

| The owner says | You answer |
| --- | --- |
| My salon is too small. | A small salon feels money leaks most. |
| My stylists do not like being tracked. | They like fair commission and clear records. |
| Clients pay by M-Pesa. | Record it alongside cash in the same report. |
| I do not want to type. | Tap the service and the price appears. |
