Show notes

Hey salon pro happy throwback. This is one of our all time favorite conversations with a very special and impactful woman. Her name is Tammy Cosper and she is the Chief Operations Officer for the salon 124 group.. Lot of people out there claiming to be a #ladyboss well Tammy’s got the resume to prove it… More on that in a moment..

One thing John and I realize we are not doing such a great job informing you all about is where we’ll be and what we have going on in the upcoming months..

So here’s three fast things - 1 - September 12-13 - DATA DRIVEN SUMMIT IN CHICAGO -- We’re not on the roster but will be doing podcast interviews with some of the keynote speakers. https://www.datadrivensalon.com

September 26 - 27 - Nikki Le and Geno Stampora host Mentor and Masters at the turf valley resort -- https://www.mentorandmasters.com

Finally we’ll be hosting our last virtual 4-day intensive of 2021. https://124go.com or email us info@124go.com

This is where we cover the top strategies that brian and Karen Perdue used to grow from 4 hairstylists to 6 salons and over 120 hairstylists. This is a no holds barred event where we share all of the secrets to help you grow your salon - no matter the size. That’s November 7-8 and 14-15.. Everyone that has taken that course on zoom has loved the convenience and candidness that we share.. You can find links to all of those events in the show notes…

You are about to join in an edited down version of episode # 2 of Shop Talk.. As I mentioned Tammy has a rich professional background and I consider her one of the foremost experts on a lot of things in business, her we discuss

One more thing I need to say - in these early episodes we were a little less refined with the sound quality. We appreciate you bearing with us -
