✨ ⁠Estheticians in Business Membership⁠ [https://allyson-steinberg-s-school.teachable.com/p/estheticians-in-business-the-membership] If you're looking for ongoing business coaching, marketing support, practical trainings, and a community of solo estheticians who are growing together, the Estheticians in Business Membership was built for you. Use code PODCAST to save $15 on your first month. If you've ever thought... "I'm not ready." "What if people judge me?" "I don't want to bother people." "Maybe I'll do it when I have more clients." This episode is for you. In this episode of Estheticians in Business, Allyson shares a coaching conversation that inspired this topic and explains why so many business struggles aren't actually marketing problems or pricing problems. They're mental blocks that keep us from taking the actions we already know we need to take. If you've been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you know what to do but just can't seem to do it, this episode will help you identify what's holding you back and how to move forward. • Why mental blocks often look like marketing or client problems • The truth about waiting until you're "ready" • Why confidence is built through action, not before it • How to stop worrying about being judged online • Why marketing is reminding people you exist, not bothering them • Learning to hear "no" without taking it personally • Why comparing yourself to other estheticians keeps you stuck • The mindset that delays growth by saying, "I'll do it when..." • Why you don't control your clients' wallets • The one question that can help you uncover what's really holding you back One of the biggest takeaways from this episode is that every level of business comes with new fears. Successful business owners aren't fearless—they've learned how to take action even when fear is present. Confidence doesn't come first. Action does. Ask yourself: What do I already know I should be doing, but I'm avoiding because of fear? That's your next step. Not another certification. Not another course. That one thing you've been avoiding. ✨ Estheticians in Business Membership [https://allyson-steinberg-s-school.teachable.com/p/estheticians-in-business-the-membership] If you're looking for ongoing business coaching, marketing support, practical trainings, and a community of solo estheticians who are growing together, the Estheticians in Business Membership was built for you.

Why Clients Rebook, Refer, and Stay Loyal with Cortney Cox

✨ ⁠Free Soft Skills Assessment⁠ [https://go.brillianceadvancedbeautyeducation.com/babe-soft-skills-assessment] Soft Skills, Client Communication, and Building a Business People Come Back To with Cortney Cox In this episode of Estheticians in Business, Allyson sits down with beauty industry educator Cortney Cox to talk about one of the most overlooked skills in the beauty industry: communication. While many estheticians spend years learning treatments, ingredients, and techniques, client communication is often the thing that determines whether someone becomes a loyal client, refers their friends, and continues booking with you year after year. This conversation dives into the soft skills that help beauty professionals create stronger client relationships, improve retention, build trust, and create a business that feels easier to run. • Why technical skills alone don't guarantee a successful business • What soft skills actually are and why they matter • How communication impacts client retention and loyalty • Building trust during consultations • The role of boundaries in creating a sustainable business • How client expectations have changed over time • Creating a client experience people want to come back to • Why listening is one of the most valuable business skills you can develop • The connection between relationships and referrals • Simple ways to strengthen communication with your clients One of the biggest takeaways from this episode is that clients often remember how you made them feel long after they've forgotten the details of a treatment. The estheticians who create loyal clients aren't always the ones with the most certifications. They're often the ones who communicate well, build trust, listen intentionally, and create an experience clients genuinely enjoy returning to. ✨ Free Soft Skills Assessment [https://go.brillianceadvancedbeautyeducation.com/babe-soft-skills-assessment] Instagram: @brillianceadvancedbeautyeducation Join thousands of estheticians for free business education, marketing support, and weekly training.
