 In Today’s Issue

We dive into how turning your consultation into a conversion masterpiece can be the difference between a packed calendar… or an eerie silence come Tuesday afternoon.

If your consultations are being led by someone who doesn't breathe sales, you're not just missing out on bookings—you're leaving VIP money on the table.

The holiday targeting playbook marketers are using this season

Black Friday and holiday ad campaigns are make-or-break moments. While competitors burn budget on broad audiences, you can zero in on shoppers ready to buy exactly what you sell.

Speedeon’s Holiday Digital Audience Guide unlocks 100+ hyper-focused segments—from Amazon holiday shoppers and Cyber Monday fanatics to gift card purchasers and families starting new holiday traditions.

These aren’t generic lists. They’re proven, conversion-driven digital audiences designed for immediate activation across Meta, Google and more.

Let us help you wrap up your best-performing holiday campaigns yet.

🕯️ A Tale from the Treatment Room…

Imagine this:

A well-dressed woman walks into your spa. She's flipping through Vogue, sipping cucumber water, and gliding through your front desk like she’s on the runway of a Nancy Meyers film. Let’s call her Margot.

Margot isn’t a price shopper.
She isn’t looking for deals.
She’s looking for trust.

She sits down for her consultation. The team member is kind, soft-spoken, and knowledgeable—but not trained in sales. They chit-chat. They discuss skin goals. They recommend treatments. But no close. No future booking. No wow moment.

Margot leaves with a “Thanks, I’ll think about it.”

And you never hear from her again.

Why?
Because Margot didn’t walk in looking for a chat.
She came for clarity, confidence, and a call to action.

🛎️ Here's the Fix: Bring in a Closer, Not Just a Talker

Consultations aren’t casual convos—they're conversions in disguise.

A true sales-trained consultant knows how to:

  • Read body language like a lie detector.

  • Handle objections before they bubble up.

  • Connect treatment outcomes with deep emotional benefits.

  • Create urgency without pressure.

  • Close the deal—on the spot.

And no, this isn’t about “hard selling.”
It’s about heart-centered selling. Big difference.

💼 Step-by-Step: The VIP Consultation Sales Process

Want to transform your consultations from hit-or-miss into high-converting magic? Here's the blueprint:

1. Position the Consultation as a Luxury Experience

Let them know up front:
"This is not a basic intake. This is your customized beauty blueprint."

Set the tone with:

  • A signature drink 🍸 (matcha latte, champagne, infused water)

  • A scent-scaped room 🕯️

  • A printed treatment plan folder 📁

2. Introduce the Consultant as a Beauty Strategist

Not “Sarah from front desk.”
Try: “This is Sarah, our Senior Treatment Advisor. She specializes in luxury skin transformations.”

Titles build trust.

3. Use the Consultation to Build a Vision

Instead of "What are your goals?" ask:
💬 "If we could wave a wand and give you the skin of your dreams, what would it look like?"

Get them dreaming. Then map it out.

4. Present the Plan with Confidence

Use a script. Yes, really. Every top closer does.

Example line:
🔑 "Based on everything you’ve shared, I recommend starting with X, followed by Y, and we’ll finish with Z. Our clients who do this typically see full results in 3–6 months."

No “maybe” energy.
Speak like the expert you are.

5. Ask for the Booking—Like a Pro

Don’t say: “Let me know if you’re interested.”
Instead, go with:
💬 “Let’s get your first session on the calendar—I have Tuesday at 2 or Thursday at 11. What works best?”

Two options.
No pressure.
All confidence.

💎 Glowelle Takeaway

Your spa isn't just about services. It’s a story your clients step into. But without someone to guide that story in the consult room, the plot never thickens.

The right consultant doesn’t just book appointments—they build client loyalty, deepen brand trust, and drive thousands in recurring revenue.

✨ Consultation without sales is like Dior without a runway—gorgeous, but underperforming.

The fortune is in the follow-up, but the future is in the first impression.
