THE OPPORTUNITY• All employees are taking a week of vacation this month

• This will pose as a challenge

• My store has been gold in sales three months in a row, meaning achieving sales ten percent above last year and fifteen percent above that.

• We are hungry for the fourth month. In order to thrive this month we will need to function as a cohesive, well-oiled machine.

• “The store is gold, which means that we have a successful trend. To do that it took all four elements of the spa and retail front (three salespeople and one barber), all reaching personal goals to achieve one store goal…
