Brandy, 
Testimonial: Advanced Sales 
Training 
I recently attended the Advanced Sales Classes, and have already seen a 
difference. I came back from the classes with much enthusiasm and 
created excitement in my sales team by holding numerous "classes" to 
implement the new techniques learned. Our overall sales have increased 
15%, when compared to last May!! The largest improvement has been in 
Membership Sales. 
I think a light went off in their heads...they finally got it!! They have even 
admitted how easier it is to sell a membership with these simple changes. 
I just got off the phone with my Spa Consultant and she informed me that 
they each sold three Spa Memberships this week alone! What fun! 
Anyone who doesn't take advantage of this great tool is foolish. Thanks 
again for the help.

Steve, 
Testimonial: Advanced Sales 
Training 
I sent a friend, Gretchen, into your store with my business card for three 
complimentary sessions two days ago. I am thrilled to tell you that she 
phoned me last night and went on and on about how she fell in love with 
it! She said that the staff was very attentive, informative, and friendly. The 
best part is that she originally wanted to go in because she had never 
tanned before and wanted to try it out but she came out completely sold 
on hydration (she called this a full body steam cleaner) and lumiere. You 
should pass on kudos to your new manager for effectively communicating 
our overall concept and converting a “tanner” to a wellness enthusiast 
simply by caring enough to educate them. Gretchen is going back today 
planning on signing up on an EFT and is bringing another one of our 
friends with her. 
Way to go uptown!

Attitude 
The longer I live, the more I realize the 
impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is 
more important than facts. It is more 
important that the past, than education, than 
money, than circumstances, than failures, 
than successes, than what other people think 
or say or do. It is more important than 
appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or 
break a company…a church…a home.
1 
13 
Attitude 
The remarkable thing is we have a choice 
every day regarding the attitude we embrace 
for that day. We cannot change out past…we 
cannot change the fact that people will act in 
a certain way. We cannot change the 
inevitable. The only thing we can do is play 
on the one string we have, and that is our 
attitude…I am convinced that life is 10% of 
what happens to me and 90% how I react to 
it. And so it is with you…we are in charge of 
out Attitudes. -Charles Swindoll

Organization Chart 
Explained The Inverted Pyramid Model 
Most organizations are pyramidal in 
nature with owner at the top. 
There’s nothing wrong with the 
pyramid but who’s at the bottom? 
The people who do all the work! 
What IS wrong is when people see 
the pyramid as each level working 
for the level above them.
1 
36 
Organization Chart 
Explained 
We turn the pyramid upside down so that no 
one staff person is on top. 
We put members and guests at the top because 
most service organizations fail because the staff 
is spending all their time responding to the top 
boss instead of responding to the member! 
The management works for their people. They 
are responsive to the staff. Managers help their 
staff win! 
The staff is responsible for high quality SERVICE 
MAGIC.

37 
Our Commitment 
The spa’s success is based on your job 
satisfaction and the relationship you have 
with your co-workers and the members. 
We will provide you with appropriate 
training, recognition for a job well done, 
and an equitable opportunity to meet your 
personal financial goals so you can become 
a happy, productive team member. With a 
productive team, we can stay focused on 
the spa’s primary goal: Keeping our 
members first in everything we do.
1 
38 
Commitment 
To do this, our management and staff are 
committed to the following: 
1) Hiring talented and dedicated people and paying 
them competitive salaries 
2) Creating an atmosphere of trust, teamwork, and 
confidence so each team member can excel and 
grow as an individual 
3) Working together to create a financially strong 
company that continues to invest in its members 
and staff. The team members also provide 
support for each other as they achieve individual 
& company goals

Commitment 
4) Accepting the changes that come with personal

immediately. 
TX055 Longview. Texas put $94,600.93 in the bank for May 2008 and a total of 
$467,445.00 from January-May. That is more than most locations do in 
a year. That’s $93,489.00 per month, projecting $1,121,868 for the year!!! 
Planet Beach Contempo Spa’s 1st Million Dollar Spa! 
This location has not been airlifted to another spot to increase traffic. They have 
the true essence of SPA. They have skincare and retail sales over $132,799 for 
the year, or $26,600 per month average. Ask yourself do you want to have 
results like that? What are they doing that you are not?

How are they doing it?? 
The answer…They are a true Contempo Spa 
and you are still operating as a tanning 
salon. Just because you have SPA 
equipment does not mean you are operating 
as a Contempo SPA. There are two huge 
MUST HAVES to achieve these results.

CORPORATE EE--MMAAIILL ((SSTTEEVVEE 
SSMMIITTHH)) 
I was reading a new tanning trade publication yesterday and I 
was amazed at how the tanning industry is still in utter 
denial of marketplace reality. In an article about the 
German tanning market (Germany is the mother land of 
indoor tanning), out of 8000 tanning salons, 1800 went 
bankrupt in 2006 alone. The article blames the decline on 
price wars and poor quality...how about supply and 
demand stupid! The publication is full of statements such 
as "today's tanning customer is more demanding"...duh! 
Nobody drives a horse carriage anymore. Fortunately, we 
asked ourselves why this was happening to UV tanning two 
years ago and then we went about changing our market 
position to that of a "Contempo Spa", as you all know.
1 
55 
Corporate EE--mmaaiill ((ccoonntt……)) 
Additionally, in this new publication it is reported that according to a 
Smart Tan customer survey in May of 2005, “From 1998 to 2005, 
consumer confidence in tanning has dropped in the U.S. from 70% to 
16%.” In spite of evidence such as this from the industry educational 
leader, the tanning industry as a whole remains stumped as to why 
their market is in decline. They can’t seem to see that no industry 
can sustain that much bad press for that long. Needless to say, PB in 
on the right track. 
May, 2008-What’s the popularity of tanning now?

Change 
“Perhaps the biggest pitfall you face 
is assuming that what has made you 
successful to this point in your career 
will continue to do so. The dangers of 
sticking with what you know, 
working extremely hard at doing it, 
and then failing miserably are very 
real.”

o Examine opportunities that should be, or could be, exploited 
with time frames. 
o Start honest discussions, and give dynamic and convincing 
reasons to get people working on the change with time frames.

Operational Procedures 
Few people go to work intending 
to perform poorly. Franchisees 
and Spa directors must establish 
high standards and operational 
procedures for their staff and 
show them how to pursue 
excellence.
1 
100 
LLeetthhaarrggyy ooff 
This coEEmnnpttiiattnlleeymm isee jnnuttst like one big, 
happy family. 
Ever heard someone say that? 
Chances are, they’re stuck in 
entitlement.
1 
101 
EEnnttiittlleemmeenntt 
The result of too much generosity? 
We give people what they expect and don’t 
hold them accountable for meeting criteria’s of 
excellence. 
Why does that happen?
1 
102 
Hugs aanndd WWaarrmm FFeeeelliinnggss 
Entitlement Answer: 
Spa Directors/Franchisees are unwilling to do the 
work requiring work. 
Spa Directors and Franchisees that are not 
focused on goals and rewards based on 
productivity frequently create entitlement 
because they want to avoid discord and bad 
feelings. They don’t hold people accountable for 
results.
1 
Good performance, bad performance, or 
no performance are all treated the same. 
Entitlement happens when people feel they 
have so much security, they don’t have to 
earn their rewards or pay. 
Remember, we’re going to WAR with a 
RECESSION. Entitlement won’t cut it.

Are You a Fox or a 
HedgeAhn oangc?ient Greek parable 
explains the differences 
between foxes and hedgehogs: 
FOX 
•Knows many things 
and lacks consistency 
•Cunning creature 
•Able to devise 
complex strategies 
HEDGEHOG 
• Knows one BIG thing 
and sticks with it 
•Dowdier creature 
•Simplifies a complex 
world into a single idea
1 
107 
So what separates those 
who make the biggest 
impact from all the others 
who are just as smart?? 
THEY ARE ALL HEDGEHOGS!! 
Hedgehogs are not stupid!! 
They understand that the essence of 
profound insight is SIMPLICITY
1 
108 
Hedgehog Concept: The Three 
Circles 
“It is not a goal to be the 
best, a strategy to be the 
best, an intention to be 
the best, a plan to be the 
best. It is an 
understanding of what 
you CAN be the best at.”
1 
109 
The Three Circles 
1) What you can be the best in the world at (and what you can’t 
be the best at) 
-Good to Great companies understand that doing what you’re 
GOOD at will only make you GOOD; focusing solely on what you 
can potentially do BETTER than other organizations is the only 
path to GREATNESS. 
2) What drives your economic engine 
- Must find a single “economic denominator” 
- If you could pick ONE ratio– profit per x for example– to 
systematically increase over time, what x would have the 
greatest and most sustainable impact on your economic engine? 
3) Understanding your passion 
- The idea is not to stimulate passion but to discover what 
MAKES you passionate
1 
110 
Why Greatness?? 
The real question is not, “Why 
greatness?” but “What work 
makes you feel compelled to try 
to CREATE greatness.” 
"Be not afraid of greatness: 
some are born great, some 
achieve greatness and some 
have greatness thrust upon 
them". 
-William 
Shakespeare

Prospecting: Promotions and Referrals 
Your prospecting-promotions and referral goals must be 
linked to your spa goals with the focus on your reoccurring 
revenue, your EFT goals for maximum monthly and yearly 
Spa revenues, as well as profitability. 
80% of your sales success must come from your staff… 
ALWAYS! Franchisees and Spa Directors must train, 
educate and hold your staff accountable for your spa’s 
success along with their own success!

•In order to reach the $1,000,000 Spa Goal, you must 
have $54,000 EFT members established in 14 
months (with 2 months of pre-sale) with projected 
average monthly dues of $69 per member. 
•$54,000/ $69 avg = 780 Total Members needed @ 
0% attrition rate of 13%; you must establish 900 EFT 
Members. 
•900 EFT Members over a 14 month period = 65 EFT 
Members per month or 2 EFT members per day, 
which includes the attrition rate of 13%.

148 
Let’s do the Math… 
$54,000 EFT Goal for Million Dollar Spa 
-$20,000 existing Spa EFT now 
$34,000 needed to hit $1,000,000 goal 
Assuming a $69 average EFT per member 
$69/$34,000= 492 new EFT members needed. 
At a factored attrition rate of 13%, then goal of 566 new 
members needed over a 12 month period, or 47 new 
EFT members per month at $69 per month average.

Managing to your top and bottom line 
Budgeting for growth in our new Contempo Spa model: 
To obtain a $1,000,000 spa (or $83,333.00) per month revenue you must 
focus on overall (end game $1,000, 000) growth (one year process) 
versus immediate profitability. 
Projected typical gross sales monthly, EFT goals, percent of profit, 
monthly and yearly targets. 
* Any time you are over 25% for profitability, you rock! 
The sky is the limit. Go for it!! 
Note: All projections and assumptions are based on normal pre-sale & 
grand re-openings expenses and normal overhead costs. Your profit 
margins may vary depending on your overhead expenses…

•Franchisees are good prospectors first, and good sales people 
second.

Prospecting for Referrals 
•Knowledge of business, sales skills, and training are linked to your 
153 
income by your strength in prospecting. 
•Prospecting and sales are completely interrelated and independent. 
•It is all mathematics—the more people you talk TO, the more new 
members you will enroll. 
•Unquestionably, the “Referral System” is one of the most 
successful prospecting methods ever developed.
1 
154 
Prospecting for Referrals 
•Not asking for a referral is a serious mistake because most 
members want to contribute and help. 
•42% of sales people do not asked for referrals. 
•Those who do ask for prospects, in 65% of the cases, fail to 
secure any new names. 
This is a tragedy!

Lead Box Tips 
Tip #1: 
The number 1 place to put a lead box for the most leads 
The restrooms in restaurants (especially for women) provided that they have a sink or vanity 
area. 
*Sometimes a merchant will not allow a lead box on their counter space. So ask them about a 
space in the restroom (vanity area). It is a better location for leads. 
Tip #2: 
If a merchant is hesitant about putting a lead box in their establishment long term, ask for a trial 
run of two weeks. In most cases, 2 weeks becomes months or longer once you have it in place. 
Tip #3: 
Follow up with Thank You letters or card to the store owner and manager. 
Tip #4: 
BE NICE—BE NICE—BE NICE—BE NICE—BE NICE!!!

2. Ask Question: What do you think is the biggest reason a member 
stops coming to the Contempo Spa? 
ANSWER: They have no friends or family that are members 
and they are going alone 
3. Make Statement: My main objective is to see that you accomplish 
your goals. (Go over skin care and usage consultation.) The best 
insurance policy is to have someone else who is a member also come 
to use UV therapy and Contempo Spa services with you and it is even 
better if they have been sponsored by you.

Great Management= Great 
Results 
The Test of a great manager is 
results. Management is knowing 
1st, then performance. 
A great franchisee must be a 
great manager of people.

Model, an absentee 
franchisee won’t cut it!!

Great Management Takes 
Practice 
1.Management is a Discipline 
An organized body of knowledge 
applied 
2.Management is Tasks 
Every achievement of management is 
the achievement of a manager. 
Every failure is a failure of a 
manager 
3.Management is People 
Good people, Good Results 
Bad people, Bad Results
1 
209 
Every achievement then 
is the achievement of 
the manager through 
people 
Every failure is a failure 
of a manager through

The First 16 Things You Teach Your 
Staff 
1) The customer is always first in everything we 
do. Everything starts and ends with the 
member 
2) Never say, “It’s not my job.” Try everything you 
can to help the member 
3) Make members feel good about you, not just 
going to the spa. Learn the member’s names 
and a little about them 
4) Do things for the member that you don’t get 
paid for. Give the member the extra touch that 
makes them feel special about belonging to 
your spa 
5) Know our competitor’s spas better than he 
does. We can’t outsell the competition if we 
don’t know anything about them
1 
239 
The First 16 Things You Teach Your 
Staff 6) Be early for everything. Being late makes a 
statement about you as a person and the worth 
of the person you are supposed to meet 
7) Never bad mouth a member, a fellow staff 
member or the competition 
8) Dress and groom yourself as if you’re the actual 
product we are selling 
9) When it’s time to go home, talk to one more 
member and do one more thing nobody else 
would think to do 
10) If you stay in the shower a long time in the 
morning because you don’t look forward to 
coming to the spa, find another job or help 
make this place an enjoyable place to work

240 
The First 16 Things You Teach Your 
Staff 11) Stay out of the office and away from the counter as 
much as possible. We don’t make money sitting in 
an office but from providing the best customer 
service in the area 
12) Always tell the owners/managers the good news 
and the bad news you head 
13) Never, ever back off of your goals 
14) Listen, listen, listen to what the member is really 
telling you. Complaining members aren’t the 
problem; it’s what they’re complaining about that 
we need to understand 
15) Strive for constant improvement in everything you 
do at this spa 
16) Everything we do starts and ends with the member

Willing to Grow and 
Learn 
EDUCATION IS KEY! 
One survey states that for every dollar spent on 
employee training, the employer can expect a $30 
return. People on your team who resist training are 
narrow-minded about their future and what they 
currently know. The business will eventually grow 
past their abilities. Everyone can only know so 
much. You can only apply what you know. If what 
you know is not enough to make your business 
grow, then you need new people who are willing to 
learn.

You can’t teach personality. 
Most importantly, you can’t teach 
someone to hunt like an eagle.

What we can do however is hire 
people who have those

How Adults Learn 
 Adults have a wealthy of experience and a great deal 
to contribute. Successful trainers build on this hard 
earned experience 
 Adults will devote energy to learning those things that 
they believe will help them perform better. Adults 
NEED W.I.I.F.M. 
 Adults are more responsive to motivations such as 
increased self esteem rather than higher salaries.

*Give yourself an A+ if you checked all 6 boxes!

272 
W.I.I.F.M. 
Trainer’s job is to demonstrate how training will benefit them. 
Trainers must properly explain when training and in return, 
employees will want to be trained. Employees will 
participate in training activities and will receive maximum 
benefits from their training experience. 
There is an old saying, “If a trainee hasn’t learned, it’s 
because the trainer hasn’t trained.” Trainees who 
understand the benefits they will receive from training will 
want to learn.

273 
Here are some examples of what your employees 
could achieve with proper training: 
1. Personal knowledge that the job was well 
done 
2. Wage/salary increase 
3. No anxiety about performance evaluations

TRAINING 
Definition of TRAIN - To cause to grow as desired. 
The first step in becoming a successful trainer is to know your 
preferred style of training. Identify your training goals and 
clarify what you need to learn. Always be prepared to make 
sure that you’re focusing on the desired solution or objective. 
By stating clear goals and objectives this with prevent you and 
275 
your team from heading in the wrong directions. 
When training, always tell your employees what your training, and 
why Planet Beach operates this way, how it’s going to benefit 
them, and how it’s going to benefit the company as a whole.
1 
276 
Walk the Talk 
“We must be the change we wish to see in the 
world” -Gandhi 
A true trainer will always lead by example. As a trainer you set the 
tone of the salon. The single most important way to ensure that 
your employees become the best, is to “WALK THE TALK.” Set 
values, talk values, practice values, and demonstrate values. Your 
employees make judgments based on what they see you do rather 
than what they hear you say. Make sure your actions demonstrate 
what you say.
1 
277 
Albert Schweitzer 
The best 3 ways to teach is by 
1. By Example 
2. By Example 
3. By Example 
“Example is Leadership.” 
“Example is not the main thing in 
influencing others, it's the only thing.”
1 
278 
Walk the Talk 
Employees will believe you when you model the behaviors 
that you want them to practice. If you want your employees 
to give your guest a great tour and ask all the power of 
questions, then show them how to give a great tour by 
asking all the right questions. If you want them to be more 
organized, then you must be more organized. If you want 
your employees to show up at work on time, and you start a 
meeting late or show up for work late, that’s saying it’s ok 
not to be on time. Your responsibility is to begin your 
own discipline.
1 
279 
Preparation 
“Failure to prepare is preparing to fail” 
Coach John Wooden 
There are a wide range of policies, procedures, 
activities, and other concerns that should be 
addressed during the training process. Employees 
should not be trained to do a job until the correct 
way to do the work has been defined. This step is 
often omitted (What is there to plan? We do the 
work every day and should be able to show 
someone how to do it. Time saved in planning can 
be spent in training!) 
Failure to plan for training activities is a 
sure way to have your training ef for ts fail!!
1 
280 
Preparation 
Plan for training, a Trainer must! 
Here are several steps you can follow: 
 Print 2 training itineraries, one for your records and one for 
your employees to write notes on. 
 Choose what topic on the training itinerary you will be 
training your employees on. 
 Develop an agenda for 3 days of training and 1 day for a 
recap of training. (Remember to include breaks) 
 Research the topic you will be training on. 
 Write notes next to the topic your going to train on.

Communication for Results 
“Nothing in life in more important than the ability to 
communicate effectively” 
Gerald Ford 
As a trainer you need to know whether you have 
communicated effectively by what is understood by 
your employees. Good communication is the most 
crucial element to sustaining creativity and 
motivation in the work place. When you do not 
communicate effectively, there will be limited 
understanding. 
TELL – SHOW – DO!
1 
282 
Communication for Results 
Communication is based on more than just spoken 
words and dictionary definitions. Nonverbal 
communication is the part of the message that the 
person communicates in addition to the words that 
he or she speaks. Research, in fact, indicates that 
7% of communication consists of the words we use 
(verbal), while 93% of communication is based on 
how we say those words, and how we look when 
we say those words. 
Passion – Persuades!
1 
283 
Verbal Messages 
The words we choose are only a minor part 
of the complete communication process. 
They can still either enhance or stop 
effective communication from occurring. 
Great communication takes 
everything you’ve got!
1 
284 
Non-verbal Messages 
They consist of vocal elements (tone, non-word 
sounds such as sighs, rate of 
speaking, emphasis, etc.) and visual 
elements (body language, facial 
expressions, and gestures.) Remember that 
this is 93% of the entire communication 
message!
1 
285 
Below are some key tips that can increase 
the odds that you are heard: 
 Avoid blaming 
 Beware of negative nonverbal messages 
 Use concise, clear messages 
 Seek feedback 
 Ask questions and listen 
 Present training material with enthusiasm 
 Tell trainers they will have to feed it back. 
 Always remember Tell – Show – Do!
1 
286 
Signs when your communication is off-track 
 Your employees are bored and uninterested. They continue to do 
what they have always done without change in their behavior. 
 Your employees are confused and cannot train you on what you just 
said. They have no idea about what you said and what you want. 
 Your employees are overwhelmed. They are overwhelmed by too 
much information coupled with a lack of clarity and direction. 
K.I.S.S. – Eat an elephant one bit at a time 
To be an outstanding trainer who produces high performance, 
you must communicate with accountability!
1 
287 
Signs when your communication is 
accountable 
 Employees are inspired and go into action to make 
things happen. 
 Employees re-create your message for others. They 
use their own words to restate what you want and the 
timeframe you want it. 
 Your employees know what’s important and have a 
clear understanding about their priorities.

Effective Training Summary 
 A good trainer/educator must believe that: 
a. People learn best when they are active rather than 
passive. 
b. People learn best when challenged rather than 
talked at. 
c. People learn best when involved rather than 
observing.

Team Training: 
Training with a partner is one of the most effective and 
enriching opportunities that will produce the best damn

moment. 
2. Be well prepared. Back-up props, back-up 
activities, back-up agenda, back-up everything! 
3. Leave your ego outside the room. Follow the flow 
of the group even when it goes off your course. 
4. Tell personal stories that are true and make a 
point. 
5. Ask outstanding questions (so that true learning 
and reflection abound.)

6. Anticipate resistance, deviations, and mistakes. How you 
handle these impacts the whole day and are usually where 
the learning takes place. 
7. Pause often. Whether after a sentence, after an activity, or 
after a debriefing, allowing your participants to think and 
reflect. This is the time when they come up with their own 
solutions and lessons. 
8. Take risks and new things. We teach what we need to learn. 
9. Involve the whole group. Design the learning so that the 
learners focus on themselves and each other. You create the 
learning experience and then step back.

General Principles for Working With 
Your Team When you’re making a change 
of direction with your staff, 
you need to keep them 
focused. Let them know that: 
1) Change is going to happen. What we did before is no longer 
acceptable 
2) Expectations are set. You now have a basic level of performance 
to live up to starting right now 
3) Nonsense is OUT. Back stabbing, member bitching, late for 
work, absenteeism days are now over 
4) The work ethic and the customer are IN. On-time for work is 15 
minutes before the shift starts 
5) People are going to enjoy working in this spa 
6) We will be tough but fair

Find Ways to 
Praise 
Special Note: 
Always recognize the heroes 
first in every meeting. Praise 
doesn’t cost you anything and 
giving the performers attention 
puts extra pressure on the non-performers.

305 
Motivating the Low 
Guys 
oEvery staff has a couple of people at 
the bottom that are usually a little more 
difficult to keep motivated 
o We should always recognize the 
winners but there must be 
consequences for failure 
oMost of the common mistakes owners 
make when trying to get the staff 
moving comes down to basic mistakes in 
over-all management

Team 
Motivation 
To find out what type of leader 
you are, ask your employees: 
“Is it fun to come to work here 
each day?” 
Being fun is not the only 
point, but it does greatly 
affect the motivational 
factor! 
Spas should be fun places to 
work! 
Spas are only as 
exciting as you, 
the owner or 
manager make 
them! 
Once you establish 
goals and give 
people direction, 
their motivation 
should increase

Passion 
Passion is 
contagious,

A Good Leader Can Motivate Others By: 
- showing a passion for what they are doing 
- being able to communicate clearly with others 
- encouraging others to get involved in decision-making 
- being a good role model for the ideas that they 
are advocating 
- clarifying objectives 
- clearly setting out the benefits to all parties of 
decision that are made

Pick The Best Teammates! 
"The best executive is the one 
who has sense enough to pick 
good men to do what he wants 
done, and self-restraint enough 
to keep from meddling with 
them while they do it.“ 
--Theodore Roosevelt 
“There is NO such thing as a 
single-handed success: When 
you include and acknowledge 
all those in your corner, you 
propel yourself, your teammates 
and your supporters to greater 
MANAGERS THAT DON’T heights.”

One Minute Manager Meets the Monkey 
A busy manager is busy because he is doing the staff’s work! 
Don’t take on a problem if it isn’t yours! 
MONKEY= The next move to be taken in any problem or situation 
(whoever has to make the next move owns the monkey!) 
For every monkey there are 2 parties: 
1) One to work it 
2) One to supervise it 
If, as a manager, you take on everyone else’s monkeys, a role 
reversal will occur: you will be working it and your staff will 
be supervising it!
1 
316 
One Minute Manager Meets the Monkey 
“Tasks are like monkeys. If 
you don’t tend to them, or if 
you have too many, or worst 
of all if you take on someone 
else’s, they get out of hand 
and give you aggravation & 
make your life miserable.” 
You must see the 
monkeys for what they 
are and actively work to 
keep other people’s 
monkeys off your own 
back in order to 
succeed
1 
317 
Four Rules of Monkey Management 
#1: Describe the Monkey 
#2: Assign the Monkey 
#3: Insure the Monkey 
#4: Check on the Monkey
1 
318 
Rule #1: Describe the Monkey 
• The dialogue between the boss and subordinate must not end 
until appropriate “next moves” have been identified and 
specified 
• Rationale: 
- When people realize dialogue won’t end until next moves are 
specified, they will plan carefully when approaching you 
- It gives you motivation by clarifying the situation, identifying the 
first step, and breaking it into bite size pieces.
1 
319 
Rule #2: Assign the Monkey 
• All monkeys shall be owned and handled at the lowest 
organizational level consistent with their welfare 
•Rationale: 
- Staff have more time, energy, and knowledge to handle monkeys 
- Staff are closer to the work and are in better position to handle 
the monkey. 
- Keeping monkeys off your back is the only way to gain 
discretionary time 
- Retain monkeys only you can handle
1 
320 
Rule #3: Insure the Monkey 
• Every monkey leaving your presence on the back of one of your 
people must be covered by one of two insurance policies: 
1) Recommend, Then Act 
2) Act, Then Advise 
•Rationale: 
- This balances your staffs need for freedom and your ability to control 
- Level 1 is when there’s a risk of an unaffordable mistake 
- Level 2 is when you’re sure that your staff can handle it on their own 
and inform you afterwards 
- Aim to practice hands-off management as much as possible and hands-on 
management as much as necessary.
1 
321 
Rule #4: Check on the Monkey 
• Proper follow- up means healthier monkeys. Every monkey should have 
a check-up appointment 
•Rationale: 
- Checkups are to find opportunities to praise your staff 
- Make sure monkeys are healthy and take corrective action if necessary 
-Staff should inform you when monkeys are sick 
- During checkup, if nothing was done, discuss why nothing was done.

The 3 Minute Management Course 
LESSON 1 
A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing 
her shower, when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps 
herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the 
door, there stands Bob, the next door neighbor. Before she 
says a word, Bob says, “I’ll give you $800 to drop that towel.” 
After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and 
stands naked in front of Bob. After a few seconds, Bob hands 
her $800 and leaves. The woman wraps back up in the towel 
and goes back upstairs. When she gets to the bathroom her 
husband asks, “Who was that?” “It was Bob, the next door 
neighbor,” she replies. “Great!” the husband says, “did he 
say anything about the $800 he owes me?”
1 
324 
Moral: Lesson 
1 
If you share critical information 
pertaining to credit and risk with 
your shareholders in time, you may 
be in a position to prevent avoidable 
exposure.
1 
325 
Lesson 2 
A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager 
are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. 
They rub it and a genie comes out. The genie says, “I’ll 
give each of you just one wish.” “Me first! Me first!” 
says the admin clerk. “I want to be in the Bahamas, 
driving a speedboat, without a care in the world.” Puff! 
She’s gone. “Me next! Me next!” says the sales rep. “I 
want to be in Hawaii, relaxing on the beach with my 
personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas, 
and the love of my life.” Puff! He’s gone. “OK, you’re 
up,” the genie says to the manager. The manager says, 
“I want those 2 slackers back in the office after lunch.”
1 
326 
Moral: Lesson 
2 
Always let your boss 
have the first say!
1 
327 
Lesson 3 
An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing. A 
small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, “Can I also sit 
like you and do nothing?” The eagle answered: “Sure, 
why not?” So the rabbit sat on the ground below the 
eagle and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, 
jumped on the rabbit and ate it.
1 
328 
Moral: Lesson 3 
To be sitting and doing 
nothing, you must be 
sitting very, very high up.
1 
329 
Lesson 4 
A turkey was chatting with a bull. “I would love to 
be able to get to the top of that tree,” sighed the 
turkey, “but I haven’t got the energy.” “Well, why 
don’t you nibble on some of my droppings?” 
replied the bull. “They’re packed with nutrients.” 
The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it 
actually gave him enough strength to reach the 
lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after 
eating some more dung, he reached the second 
branch. Finally, after a fourth night, the turkey was 
proudly perched at the top of the tree. He was 
promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of 
the tree.
1 
330 
Moral: Lesson 4 
Bullshit might get you to 
the top, but it won’t 
keep you there!

A Manager’s Daily Productivity 
Schedule 
I, MANAGER, WILL: 
1) Use my day planner religiously. It’s my lifeline. 
2) Not leave work until tomorrow is thoroughly planned 
3) The first thing in the morning, physically inspect the 
spa making sure everything is in excellent condition 
and clean 
4) Make memos on what needs to be done and follow 
through with corrective action. I realize that the 
number one disease is an unclean spa which affects 
everything from sales to customer service 
5) Inspect daily production from previous day & red-flag 
improper productivity. Also will heck to see how 
today’s productivity is set up (everything from goals, 
sales, cleaning, challenges, etc.

12) Go home and get a good night’s rest. You’ve had a

Biggest Mistakes Franchisees Make in 
1) Making commitments they can’t oSr dtoanf’t fkieenp.g 
- Managers must develop credibility 
- Once the staff and members can’t trust your word, you’re in trouble 
2) Not establishing effective lines of communication 
- Members and staff members need a forum to vent 
3) Establishing unrealistic budgets 
- Many owners spend until they can’t without any outline of a budget 
- Unrealistic budgets put unrealistic expectations on the performance 
4) You are only as good as your weakest link 
- You must learn to delegate the jobs, give proper instruction, and then follow up 
5) Hiring wrong the first time

J.P.’s Thought on Hiring & Keeping the Best 
361 
People 
1) Have a clear picture of exactly what you are 
looking for—the best qualities…IS IT AN EAGLE 
OR A DUCK? 
2) Reward team members for doing a great job 
hitting & exceeding goals—not for getting close! 
3) Demotivation = employees not knowing what is 
expected.—EDUCATE, EDUCATE! 
4) Lack of growth in employees and production 
“Doing very well on what does not need to be 
done at all!”
1 
J.P.’s Thought on Hiring & Keeping the Best 
362 
People 
5) Quality of trust. Employees free to make mistakes 
without being dumped on. 
6) Create a great place to work = positive 
performance feedback 
7) No false promises = never forget a promise: an 
employee will never forget! 
Personal Integrity 
8) Most important—training & instruction need to be 
constant. 
“The only thing that gets people up is knowledge!” 
The feeling of competence = great performance
1 
363 
Stage 3: Servant Leader 
“My customer is anyone who isn’t me.” 
 Knows employees are the first market 
 Collaborator (P2P sharing) 
 Thermostat not Thermometer 
 Expert Listener 
 Knows that “Everything Speaks” 
 Shares the same reality 
Excellence reflex 
 Customer advocate/sees operations through the 
customer lens 
 Meets financial goals

Be Aware of the Needs 
of our Members 
1. Recognition- “Hi!” & “Goodbye!” 
- They have to hear their name. Give them BIG “Hello’s!” and “Goodbye’s!” by 
NAME 
- Thank them for coming in and plant the seed of retention- “When will we see 
you again?” 
2. Concern- Your concern for them must be genuine. Show your sincerity, in 
assisting them. 
3. Patient- Be patient & humble as some people do not adjust to your organization 
as fast as others. They may need more encouragement. Be free with 
compliments & have a helpful, understanding attitude. 
4. Leadership- You must project yourself to each & every member so they are eager 
to use your Planet Beach Contempo Spa. Show how much you believe in your 
product through your enthusiasm & knowledge.
Service- An Ability You 
1 
Will Have to Develop 
369 
o Service is defined as doing more than the 
members would expect from you… 
SURPRSE THEM! 
o Continually encouraging and convincing 
them to try to help themselves by listening 
to us and never giving up on anyone as a 
lost cause is what we mean by service

Adherence & 
Retention Drop- out rates for those beginning a 
tanning and spa program are alarming. 
A Survey on… “Why customers quit” found the following: 
-3% move away 
- 5% develop other friendships 
- 9% leave for competitive reasons 
- 14% are dissatisfied with the product 
- 68% quit because of an attitude of indifference toward 
the customer by the owner, manager, or some employee
1 
372 
The Economics of Retention & 
Loyalty 
o Keeping members drives profitability. Existing members 
cost less to reach, less to sell, are less vulnerable to 
attacks from competition, and buy more over the long 
term 
o Long term satisfied members provide more referrals! 
o The average business spends 6 times more to attract 
new customers than it does to keep old ones. Yet 
customer loyalty is in most cases worth 10 times the price 
of a single purchase 
o It’s easier & less costly to keep existing members than 
to acquire new members. The more members you keep 
through active retention efforts, and the longer you keep 
them, the more profitable you Planet Beach Contempo 
Spa will be!

The “11 Deadly Sins” of Customer 
Service 1. “I don’t know.” 
 Customers expect you to know 
 Add 3 essential words… “I’ll find out.” 
2. “I don’t care.” 
 Our customers want you to care about seving 
them 
 When your attitude, conversation, or 
appearance makes it clear you’d rather be 
somewhere else, they’ll find themselves 
wishing the same thing 
3. “I can’t be bothered.” 
 Actions speak louder than words
1 
374 
The “11 Deadly Sins” of Customer 
Service 
4. “I don’t like you.” 
Customers are sensitive to attitudes 
that subtly or overly say, “You are a 
nuisance; please go away.” 
5. “I know it all.” 
 When you jump in with a solution 
before a customer has finished explaining 
the question, that’s being pushy 
6. “You don’t know anything.” 
 There are no dumb questions, only 
dumb answers.

 Every customer wants and deserves to be 
treated with courtesy and respect 
8. “Don’t come back.” 
The purpose of serving our members is to get 
them to come back again and again. 
We need to thank our customers for their 
patronage and loyalty

Positive Phrasing 
Negative Phrase: 
“I don’t know” 
“We can’t do that” 
You’ll have to…” 
“Hang on a second, be right 
back.” 
“No” when used at the 
beginning of a sentence 
Positive Phrase: 
“Gee that’s a good question. Let me 
check and find out for you.” 
“Boy, that’s a tough one. Let me 
see what we can do.” 
Soften the request with, “Would 
you please” 
It may take me 2 or 3 minutes to 
get that for you, do you mind 
waiting? 
“We aren’t able to give you a cash 
refund but we would be more than 
happy to allow you to exchange it”

The End…of the Beginning 
“Change with the times or the times will change you!” 
“Success should be linked to excellence and

have. Successful people work to discover their talents, 
to develop those talents, and then to use those talents to 
benefit others as well as themselves.” 
-Anna Muoio 
“Faced with the choice between 
changing one’s mind and proving that 
there is no need to do so, almost 
everybody gets busy on the proof.”

Multi-unit expansion is a great way to take 
advantage of economies of scale! 
Opening many locations at once or over a planned period of 
time, enables the multi-unit operator/franchisee to LOWER 
start –up and operating costs and realize efficiencies in 
staffing, training, purchasing, marketing, and accounting. 
Greater visual presentation and market recognition. 
Success breeds Success stabilization of total revenue

J.P.’s Thoughts On 
1. If someone throMwsa ynoua thgee bmall, eyonut don’t have to 
catch it. 
We accept challenges; we do not accept being disrespected 
and victimized, or being overwhelmed 
2. The Passing Feelings 
We’ve been happy, sad, jealous, depressed, angry, in love, 
shamed, proud, and every other human emotion! 
Where did they all go? 
All disappointment comes in 2 ways: 
(1) We want pleasure to last forever 
(2) When we experience pain, we want it to go away fast- it 
never does!
1 
421 
J.P.’s Thoughts on 
Management 
3. Have fun, enjoy the process 
Enjoy what you do; what you have – not what you want. You 
will spend your life always chasing happiness! 
- Getting lost and overwhelmed in the chaos, responsibilities 
of life 
- Not clearly seeing and believing the process or outcome: 
creates stress. NO FUN!! 
We argue for our limitations or our beliefs, and they become 
the problem, they become our limitations! Have fun, enjoy 
the process!
1 
422 
J.P.’s Thoughts on 
Management 
4. Seek to understand. 
When you understand another person’s position and points of 
view, you grow & learn—it’s energizing! 
5. Challenges & Obstacles are the fun part of business! 
Circumstances don’t make the person, they reveal him or her! 
Often, we make a big deal out of nothing; we blow up scenarios 
in our mind. Always remember, maybe so, maybe not. 
6. We become what we practice most! 
Does shit always happen? 
7. Eye of the Storm 
Keep moving to the center of your plan, your goal, your to-do 
list and do one thing at a time!
1 
423 
J.P.’s Thoughts on 
Management 
8. The Soap Opera 
It turns life into an emergency: a melodrama, the “end of the 
world” mentality. They never show FUN! 
9. Understanding Separate Realities 
What is your reality; it’s different from mine! 
10. Life is a test, it is only a test- have FUN! 
Without resistance we cannot grow. 
Wherever you go, there you are – have FUN!

“Think and Grow Rich” 
The word “impossible” is 
not recognized by 
successful men, but it is a 
handy alibi of the man 
who is a failure.

future is to create it”

10 Truths for the Boss: “Character 
Counts” 1. The more certain you are that “it can’t happen here” the 
more likely it is that it will. Be careful about over-confidence 
and complacency. 
2. There are lots of things you don’t know, and lots of people 
who hope you don’t find out. Hardly anybody tell you the 
whole truth anymore. Information is filtered through the 
fears and career aspirations or subordinates and many 
employees believe you will “kill the messengers” if they 
deliver bad news so they tell you what they think you want 
to hear. 
3. To those who want to please you, your whisper is a yell and 
your comments are commands. Be careful, people may do 
foolish things to please you.
1 
430 
10 Truths for the Boss: “Character 
Counts” 
4. What you allow, you encourage. 
5. There’s never just one bad employee; there’s the employee 
and the manager who keeps him. 
6. At least someone that works for you is “gaming” the system 
so they appear to reach their business objectives with 
smoke and mirrors rather than a real achievement 
7. According to the law of big numbers, if you have lots of 
employees, you probably have a few crooks and 
psychopaths working for you
1 
431 
10 Truths for the Boss: “Character 
Counts” 
8. Few people think as highly of your ethics as you do 
9. No matter how many good things you do, you will be 
judged by your last worst act. 
10. No matter what your job description says, what matters 
most is how you manage relationships and people

What It Takes To Be 
#1 
You’ve got to pay the price. 
Winning is not a sometime thing; it’s an 
all-the-time thing. You don’t win once in a while, 
you don’t do things right once in a while, you do 
them right all the time. Winning is a habit. 
Unfortunately, so is losing. 
There is no room for second place. There is 
only one place in my game and that is first place. I 
have finished second twice in my time at Green Bay 
and I don’t ever want to finish second again. There 
is a second place bowl game, but it is a game for 
losers played by losers. It is and always has been an 
American zeal to be first in anything we do and to 
win and to win and to win.

What It Takes To Be 
#1 
Every time a football player goes out to play 
his trade, he’s got to play from the ground up—from 
the soles of his feet right up to his head. Every inch of 
him has to play. Some guys play with their heads. 
That’s OK. You’ve got to be smart to be #1 in any 
business. But more important, you’ve got to play with 
your heart– with every fiber of your body. If you’re 
lucky enough to find a guy with a lot of head and a 
lot of heart, he’s never going to come off the field 
second. 
Running a football team is no different from 
running any other kind of organization– an army, a 
political party, a business. The principles are the 
same. The object is to win– to beat the other guy. 
Maybe that sounds hard or cruel. I don’t think it is.
1 
438 
What It Takes To Be 
It’s a reality of life that men are competitive and the 
most competitive games draw the most competitive men. 
That’s why they’re there– to compete. They know the rules 
and the objectives when they get in the game. The objective 
is to win– fairly, squarely, decently, by the rules– but to win. 
And in truth, I’ve never known a man worth his salt 
who is the long run, deep down in his heart, didn’t 
appreciate the grind, the discipline. There is something in 
good men that really yearns for, needs, discipline and the 
harsh reality of head to head combat. 
I don’t say these things because I believe in the 
‘brute’ nature of man or that men must be brutalized to be 
combative. I believe in God, and I believe in human decency. 
But I firmly believe that any man’s finest house– his greatest 
fulfillment to all he holds dear– is that moment when he has 
worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on 
the field of battle—victorious.

TIRED??? 
Are you tired? 
Do you feel awful? 
Run down? 
Overworked? 
Perhaps there is 
a reason why.
1 
458 
TIRED??? 
We have run across some absolutely irrefutable statistics that show 
exactly why you are tired. And Brother, it’s no wonder you’re tired! 
There aren’t as many people actually working as you may have 
thought. At least, not according to this survey recently completed. 
The population of the country is 100 million, but there are 2 million over 
60 years of age, leaving 98 million to do the work. People under 21 
total 54 million, which leaves 44 million to do the work. Then there 
are 21 million who are employed by the federal government, and this 
leaves 23 million to do the work. Then 10 million are in the Armed 
Forces, leaving 13 million to do the work. Deduct 12,800,000 (the 
number in state/city offices) and that leaves 200,000 to do the work. 
There are 126,000 in hospitals, insane asylums, and other mental 
institutions, & that leaves 74,000 people to do the work. But 62,000 
of these are bums or vagrants who refuse to work, so that leaves 
12,000 to do the job.
1 
459 
TIRED??? 
Now, it may interest you to know that 11,998 people are in jail, 
so that leaves just 2 people to carry the whole load. That is 
YOU and ME, pal, and I’m getting tired of doing everything 
myself!

Managing to the Goal 
As a spa director, you must always be aware 
of your GOALS: financial goals, spa cleanliness 
goals, and many others 
You may ask, “Is it necessary to monitor EVERY 
SINGLE GOAL every day?” 
The Answer: It is absolutely essential 
to your spa’s success!

Objective #2: Separate church and state. Counting 
beans and picking beans are not the same. 
Production people are not accountants. 
Accountants are not production people. 
Spa Directors/Personnel = OFFENSE

Spa Yearly Goals 
 Yearly goals are set by your Spa Performance Consultant or 
your Area Representative 
 Items considered when setting goals include 
•spa expenses 
•Previous year’s performance 
•Some market seasonality 
•Other variables analyzed by spa consultant 
Once goals are set, they are entered into PBFC’s intranet 
and can then be downloaded, “requested” via Solarware.com 
Once you “request” your goals each month, Spa Directors 
must dissect goals and create Monthly, Weekly, and Daily 
Action Plans for your spa and team
1 
473 
Monthly Action 
Plans 
 Allow Spa Directors to assign a goal to 
each Spa Consultant for the entire month. 
 Enable Spa Directors to monitor 
performance of each team member and 
measure results at the middle and end of 
each month 
 Allow Spa Directors to pinpoint and coach 
underperforming team members & develop 
processes and development plans to 
increase performance

Questions for Monthly 
Meetings 
 What 3 things have you seen this 
month we could do better? 
 What 3 things have you seen this 
month that we do well?

Long Term Planning 
The 24 Month Plan
1 
477 
The 24 Month Plan: Net 
EFT 
• 2 Memberships/ day @ avg. of $69/month = 60 sales 
per month (spm) 
• 60 spm x $69 = $4,140/month in EFT Increase x 24 
months = $99,360 combined Net EFT at the end of 24 
months 
• With a 26% attrition rate that reduces the NET EFT to: 
$73,527/month 
• $73,527/month x 24 mo. = $1,764,648 over 24 
months ($882,324 Net EFT/year) 
• Assume commissions were paid on total $882,324 @ 
20%. Total commissions paid out: $174,465. NET 
after commissions = $705,859 over a 12 mo. period.
1 
478 
The 24 Month Plan: 
Member #’s 
• 60 members/mo. x 24 months = 1440 members 
• With a 26% attrition rate, the total member base 
is reduced to 1066 members. 
*Attrition rate for a 12 month period is approx. 13%
1 
479 
The 24 Month Plan: Retail 
• With 1066 members using the spa, and an 
average sale of $25.00/member/mo. = $26,650 
• $26,650/mo. in retail x 24 months = $639,600 
($319,800/yr) 
• At a margin of 30% = $95,940 in profit (margins 
must be monitored)
1 
480 
The 24 Month Plan: Membership 
Cash 
• Projecting an avg. of $666.00/day in Mem. Cash x 
30 days = $20,000/mo. 
• $20,000/mo. x 24 months = $480,000 
($240,000/yr) 
• $20,000 x 15% commission = $17,000/mo. Net 
after commissions only 
• $408,000 profit/24 mo. ($204,000 profit/12 mo.) 
*Based on 2 new members/day at an avg. of $69 ($138 at 
POS) = $276 in Mem. Cash (only $390 remaining to 
sell/day in Mem. Cash)

481 
The 24 Month Plan: Summary 
Net EFT: $1,764,648 
Retail: $639,600 
Mem. Cash: $480,000 
Total Gross Sales: $2,884,248

What is a 
Budget? 
Budgeting is a process which allows you to: 
 Measure your business 
 Adjust your operations and strategy based upon 
results of that measurement 
NOTE: Budgeting is only as good as the 
assumptions used to create it. You must use 
both Historical & Future Information to create 
the assumptions to drive your business.
1 
483 
Reasons to Create a 
Budget 1. To reasonably predict cash flow 
 To support financial initiatives- banks, investors 
 To manage the timing of capital expenditures for 
remodel, equipment purchase, or spa expansion 
 To manage debt payments 
 To manage your salary or profit distribution 
2. To measure performance of employees and create 
incentives 
3. To know where to adjust costs and expenditures 
when revenues fall short of expectations 
4. To establish and achieve goals
1 
484 
o An estimate of future events based on realistic 
data 
o An extension of your business plan & strategy 
o An important Reference Point to guide your 
business in the right direction
1 
485 
oProfit 
- what’s left over when you subtract Cost of 
Goods and Expenses from Sales 
oCash Flow 
- A schedule reflecting projected cash receipts and 
payments for payroll costs and other obligations
1 
486 
oSales 
- Total dollar amount collected for goods and services 
provided 
oCost of Goods 
- the cost of obtaining raw materials and 
producing finished goods that are sold 
oExpenses 
- the cost of doing business from revenue-generating 
activities
1 
487 
Components of a Budget 
1. Income Statement- Revenues & Expenses 
 Periodic measurement (monthly, quarterly, annually) of 
expenses and revenues against plan and prior year allows for 
adjustment to pricing, staffing, advertising, etc. 
2. Balance Sheet- Assets, Liabilities & Equity 
 Measurement at a point in time of liabilities owed and assets 
owned 
 Helps in making decisions on expansion, borrowing capacity, 
and when to make additional investment 
3. Cash Flow- Detailing the change in cash position 
 Cash is the life blood of the business 
 Knowing cash position at any point in the future is predictable 
based upon income statement and balance sheet 
assumptions.
1 
488 
Information Needed for Budget

  • 4. 1 4 Brandy, Testimonial: Advanced Sales Training I recently attended the Advanced Sales Classes, and have already seen a difference. I came back from the classes with much enthusiasm and created excitement in my sales team by holding numerous "classes" to implement the new techniques learned. Our overall sales have increased 15%, when compared to last May!! The largest improvement has been in Membership Sales. I think a light went off in their heads...they finally got it!! They have even admitted how easier it is to sell a membership with these simple changes. I just got off the phone with my Spa Consultant and she informed me that they each sold three Spa Memberships this week alone! What fun! Anyone who doesn't take advantage of this great tool is foolish. Thanks again for the help. Monica Wolf
  • 5. 1 5 Steve, Testimonial: Advanced Sales Training I sent a friend, Gretchen, into your store with my business card for three complimentary sessions two days ago. I am thrilled to tell you that she phoned me last night and went on and on about how she fell in love with it! She said that the staff was very attentive, informative, and friendly. The best part is that she originally wanted to go in because she had never tanned before and wanted to try it out but she came out completely sold on hydration (she called this a full body steam cleaner) and lumiere. You should pass on kudos to your new manager for effectively communicating our overall concept and converting a “tanner” to a wellness enthusiast simply by caring enough to educate them. Gretchen is going back today planning on signing up on an EFT and is bringing another one of our friends with her. Way to go uptown! Alicia L. Conforto

  • 10. 1 10 How to Manage & Operate a Successful Planet Beach Contempo Spa It’s About… ATTITUDE!
  • 11. 1 11 You Must Be In It To Win It Running a successful business is like a SPORT…It takes courage, commitment, conviction, and confidence to win!
  • 12. 1 12 Attitude The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important that the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company…a church…a home.
  • 13. 1 13 Attitude The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we embrace for that day. We cannot change out past…we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude…I am convinced that life is 10% of what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you…we are in charge of out Attitudes. -Charles Swindoll

  • 31. 1 31 From Objective To Doing Without action all is wasted! Specific and concrete work assignments with clear defined goals, with deadlines and clear accountability is the end product of analysis. Unless objectives are converted into action, they are not objectives and goals, they are only DREAMS!
  • 32. 1 32 Manage to Our Mission Mission Statement For the benefit of our customers and the communities we serve. We will remain dedicated to the continued success of each Planet Beach franchise. Our franchise locations will provide superior customer service with an inspiring, alternative atmosphere Planet Beach will deliver premier wellness, relaxation, UV Therapy and skin rejuvenation services that enhance the contempo spa experience.
  • 33. 1 33 Manage to Values Statement of Values Good PEOPLE who BELIEVE in the product, who have professional INTEGRITY and know how to FOCUS on achieving all GOALS.
  • 34. 1 34 Planet Beach Organization Chart OUR MEMBERS & GUESTS FRONT LINE STAFF SPA DIRECTOR/ ASST. SPA DIRECTOR FRANCHISEE
  • 35. 1 35 Organization Chart Explained The Inverted Pyramid Model Most organizations are pyramidal in nature with owner at the top. There’s nothing wrong with the pyramid but who’s at the bottom? The people who do all the work! What IS wrong is when people see the pyramid as each level working for the level above them.
  • 36. 1 36 Organization Chart Explained We turn the pyramid upside down so that no one staff person is on top. We put members and guests at the top because most service organizations fail because the staff is spending all their time responding to the top boss instead of responding to the member! The management works for their people. They are responsive to the staff. Managers help their staff win! The staff is responsible for high quality SERVICE MAGIC.
  • 37. 1 37 Our Commitment The spa’s success is based on your job satisfaction and the relationship you have with your co-workers and the members. We will provide you with appropriate training, recognition for a job well done, and an equitable opportunity to meet your personal financial goals so you can become a happy, productive team member. With a productive team, we can stay focused on the spa’s primary goal: Keeping our members first in everything we do.
  • 38. 1 38 Commitment To do this, our management and staff are committed to the following: 1) Hiring talented and dedicated people and paying them competitive salaries 2) Creating an atmosphere of trust, teamwork, and confidence so each team member can excel and grow as an individual 3) Working together to create a financially strong company that continues to invest in its members and staff. The team members also provide support for each other as they achieve individual & company goals
  • 39. 1 39 Commitment 4) Accepting the changes that come with personal and professional growth 5) Agreeing to negotiate resolutions to all complaints and concerns 6) Having pride in the work and service we provide to our members 7) Consistently exceeding our members’ expectations
  • 40. 1 40 What One Man Can Do Another Can Do! It is fashionable today to talk of revolt against authority and proclaim that everybody should “Do your own thing.”
  • 41. 1 41 Stress Responsibility & Performance I’m sorry that this advanced operations & management training will completely go against this train of thought. I will not talk about rights; but I will stress responsibility WITH A CLEAR FOCUS ON PERFORMANCE & PROFITABILITY!

  • 45. Are you making too much 1 Money? I am confident the answer is NO. We have solutions to improve your bottom line. If you have not looked at the rankings on ORION we challenge you to do so immediately. TX055 Longview. Texas put $94,600.93 in the bank for May 2008 and a total of $467,445.00 from January-May. That is more than most locations do in a year. That’s $93,489.00 per month, projecting $1,121,868 for the year!!! Planet Beach Contempo Spa’s 1st Million Dollar Spa! This location has not been airlifted to another spot to increase traffic. They have the true essence of SPA. They have skincare and retail sales over $132,799 for the year, or $26,600 per month average. Ask yourself do you want to have results like that? What are they doing that you are not? 45
  • 46. 1 46 How are they doing it?? The answer…They are a true Contempo Spa and you are still operating as a tanning salon. Just because you have SPA equipment does not mean you are operating as a Contempo SPA. There are two huge MUST HAVES to achieve these results. Staffing for Success and Education on How to Operate a True Contempo Spa!!
  • 47. 1 47 Getting Your Operational Platform Right 1)Make the Invisible- Visible 2) Staffing for Spa Success 3) Operating a Contempo Spa Not a Tanning Salon

  • 54. 1 54 CORPORATE EE--MMAAIILL ((SSTTEEVVEE SSMMIITTHH)) I was reading a new tanning trade publication yesterday and I was amazed at how the tanning industry is still in utter denial of marketplace reality. In an article about the German tanning market (Germany is the mother land of indoor tanning), out of 8000 tanning salons, 1800 went bankrupt in 2006 alone. The article blames the decline on price wars and poor quality...how about supply and demand stupid! The publication is full of statements such as "today's tanning customer is more demanding"...duh! Nobody drives a horse carriage anymore. Fortunately, we asked ourselves why this was happening to UV tanning two years ago and then we went about changing our market position to that of a "Contempo Spa", as you all know.
  • 55. 1 55 Corporate EE--mmaaiill ((ccoonntt……)) Additionally, in this new publication it is reported that according to a Smart Tan customer survey in May of 2005, “From 1998 to 2005, consumer confidence in tanning has dropped in the U.S. from 70% to 16%.” In spite of evidence such as this from the industry educational leader, the tanning industry as a whole remains stumped as to why their market is in decline. They can’t seem to see that no industry can sustain that much bad press for that long. Needless to say, PB in on the right track. May, 2008-What’s the popularity of tanning now?

Spa Directors and Franchisees that are not focused on goals and rewards based on productivity frequently create entitlement because they want to avoid discord and bad feelings. They don’t hold people accountable for results.

So ask them about a space in the restroom (vanity area). It is a better location for leads. Tip #2: If a merchant is hesitant about putting a lead box in their establishment long term, ask for a trial run of two weeks. In most cases, 2 weeks becomes months or longer once you have it in place. Tip #3: Follow up with Thank You letters or card to the store owner and manager. Tip #4: BE NICE—BE NICE—BE NICE—BE NICE—BE NICE!!!

The single most important way to ensure that your employees become the best, is to “WALK THE TALK.” Set values, talk values, practice values, and demonstrate values. Your employees make judgments based on what they see you do rather than what they hear you say. Make sure your actions demonstrate what you say.

  • 281. 1 281 Communication for Results “Nothing in life in more important than the ability to communicate effectively” Gerald Ford As a trainer you need to know whether you have communicated effectively by what is understood by your employees. Good communication is the most crucial element to sustaining creativity and motivation in the work place. When you do not communicate effectively, there will be limited understanding. TELL – SHOW – DO!
  • 282. 1 282 Communication for Results Communication is based on more than just spoken words and dictionary definitions. Nonverbal communication is the part of the message that the person communicates in addition to the words that he or she speaks. Research, in fact, indicates that 7% of communication consists of the words we use (verbal), while 93% of communication is based on how we say those words, and how we look when we say those words. Passion – Persuades!

  • 319. 1 319 Rule #2: Assign the Monkey • All monkeys shall be owned and handled at the lowest organizational level consistent with their welfare •Rationale: - Staff have more time, energy, and knowledge to handle monkeys - Staff are closer to the work and are in better position to handle the monkey. - Keeping monkeys off your back is the only way to gain discretionary time - Retain monkeys only you can handle

Employees free to make mistakes without being dumped on. 6) Create a great place to work = positive performance feedback 7) No false promises = never forget a promise: an employee will never forget!

  • 372. 1 372 The Economics of Retention & Loyalty o Keeping members drives profitability.

Yet customer loyalty is in most cases worth 10 times the price of a single purchase o It’s easier & less costly to keep existing members than to acquire new members. The more members you keep through active retention efforts, and the longer you keep them, the more profitable you Planet Beach Contempo Spa will be!

  • 420. 1 420 J.P.’s Thoughts On 1. If someone throMwsa ynoua thgee bmall, eyonut don’t have to catch it. We accept challenges; we do not accept being disrespected and victimized, or being overwhelmed 2. The Passing Feelings We’ve been happy, sad, jealous, depressed, angry, in love, shamed, proud, and every other human emotion! Where did they all go? All disappointment comes in 2 ways: (1) We want pleasure to last forever (2) When we experience pain, we want it to go away fast- it never does!
  • 421. 1 421 J.P.’s Thoughts on Management 3. Have fun, enjoy the process Enjoy what you do; what you have – not what you want. You will spend your life always chasing happiness! - Getting lost and overwhelmed in the chaos, responsibilities of life - Not clearly seeing and believing the process or outcome: creates stress. NO FUN!! We argue for our limitations or our beliefs, and they become the problem, they become our limitations! Have fun, enjoy the process!
  • 422. 1 422 J.P.’s Thoughts on Management 4. Seek to understand. When you understand another person’s position and points of view, you grow & learn—it’s energizing! 5. Challenges & Obstacles are the fun part of business! Circumstances don’t make the person, they reveal him or her! Often, we make a big deal out of nothing; we blow up scenarios in our mind. Always remember, maybe so, maybe not. 6. We become what we practice most! Does shit always happen? 7. Eye of the Storm Keep moving to the center of your plan, your goal, your to-do list and do one thing at a time!
  • 423. 1 423 J.P.’s Thoughts on Management 8. The Soap Opera It turns life into an emergency: a melodrama, the “end of the world” mentality. They never show FUN! 9.

Wherever you go, there you are – have FUN!

  • 429. 1 429 10 Truths for the Boss: “Character Counts” 1. The more certain you are that “it can’t happen here” the more likely it is that it will. Be careful about over-confidence and complacency. 2. There are lots of things you don’t know, and lots of people who hope you don’t find out. Hardly anybody tell you the whole truth anymore. Information is filtered through the fears and career aspirations or subordinates and many employees believe you will “kill the messengers” if they deliver bad news so they tell you what they think you want to hear. 3. To those who want to please you, your whisper is a yell and your comments are commands. Be careful, people may do foolish things to please you.
  • 430. 1 430 10 Truths for the Boss: “Character Counts” 4. What you allow, you encourage. 5. There’s never just one bad employee; there’s the employee and the manager who keeps him. 6. At least someone that works for you is “gaming” the system so they appear to reach their business objectives with smoke and mirrors rather than a real achievement 7. According to the law of big numbers, if you have lots of employees, you probably have a few crooks and psychopaths working for you

  • 436. 1 436 What It Takes To Be #1 You’ve got to pay the price. Winning is not a sometime thing; it’s an all-the-time thing. You don’t win once in a while, you don’t do things right once in a while, you do them right all the time. Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing. There is no room for second place. There is only one place in my game and that is first place. I have finished second twice in my time at Green Bay and I don’t ever want to finish second again. There is a second place bowl game, but it is a game for losers played by losers. It is and always has been an American zeal to be first in anything we do and to win and to win and to win.
  • 437. 1 437 What It Takes To Be #1 Every time a football player goes out to play his trade, he’s got to play from the ground up—from the soles of his feet right up to his head. Every inch of him has to play. Some guys play with their heads. That’s OK. You’ve got to be smart to be #1 in any business. But more important, you’ve got to play with your heart– with every fiber of your body. If you’re lucky enough to find a guy with a lot of head and a lot of heart, he’s never going to come off the field second. Running a football team is no different from running any other kind of organization– an army, a political party, a business. The principles are the same. The object is to win– to beat the other guy. Maybe that sounds hard or cruel. I don’t think it is.
  • 438. 1 438 What It Takes To Be It’s a reality of life that men are competitive and the most competitive games draw the most competitive men. That’s why they’re there– to compete. They know the rules and the objectives when they get in the game. The objective is to win– fairly, squarely, decently, by the rules– but to win. And in truth, I’ve never known a man worth his salt who is the long run, deep down in his heart, didn’t appreciate the grind, the discipline. There is something in good men that really yearns for, needs, discipline and the harsh reality of head to head combat. I don’t say these things because I believe in the ‘brute’ nature of man or that men must be brutalized to be combative. I believe in God, and I believe in human decency. But I firmly believe that any man’s finest house– his greatest fulfillment to all he holds dear– is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle—victorious. -Vince Lombardi #1

  • 458. 1 458 TIRED??? We have run across some absolutely irrefutable statistics that show exactly why you are tired. And Brother, it’s no wonder you’re tired! There aren’t as many people actually working as you may have thought. At least, not according to this survey recently completed. The population of the country is 100 million, but there are 2 million over 60 years of age, leaving 98 million to do the work. People under 21 total 54 million, which leaves 44 million to do the work. Then there are 21 million who are employed by the federal government, and this leaves 23 million to do the work. Then 10 million are in the Armed Forces, leaving 13 million to do the work. Deduct 12,800,000 (the number in state/city offices) and that leaves 200,000 to do the work. There are 126,000 in hospitals, insane asylums, and other mental institutions, & that leaves 74,000 people to do the work. But 62,000 of these are bums or vagrants who refuse to work, so that leaves 12,000 to do the job.
  • 459. 1 459 TIRED??? Now, it may interest you to know that 11,998 people are in jail, so that leaves just 2 people to carry the whole load. That is YOU and ME, pal, and I’m getting tired of doing everything myself!
