7 ways to get your team as excited about CBM as you are

As a salon owner or manager, we’re happy you love CBM and the results it can have on your business. But, if you have a team, success really comes when everyone is on board with the app. Here are seven ways to motivate your team to play their part in getting color bar manager going:

• Launch color bar manager early in the week when motivation is at a high and your team are refreshed. 
  

• Allocate a CBM specialist, someone in your team to take charge and be the go-to for their colleagues. It doesn’t have to be you, consider a receptionist or stylist who may benefit from the small boost in responsibility.   
  

• Hold a team meeting to show and tell, use your iPad to demo and allocate some time in the session to answer questions. 
  

• Explain the stylist benefits - CBM is about making their life easier and reducing colour bar stress. If a client recipe is missing or there is a mixing error the stylist will bear the brunt of it, engaging with the app reduces the risk of that. More clients + more happy clients = a more successful stylist. 
  

• Run an incentive, after all, you’ll be saving money on product waste in the long run. It could be as simple as a few bottles of wine for the team after a month of all clients being successfully inputted. 
  

• Give yourself a break - call on the color bar manager team to help! Get creative and ask them to Zoom in for a staff meeting or connect your staff to CBM on social media so they can DM any user questions directly (@colorbarmanager).
  

• New systems and habits take a little bit of time and commitment. Play the long game, remember when you’re up against any challenges this is worth it: for you, your salon, clients and team.
