Notes for One Person Businesses |
| From Problems to Profits describes a
3 Step Business Plan. Every new business, whether home, mobile or
commercial starts at Step 1. For mobile grooming businesses you continue
to operate at Step 1 for as long as you own the business, with one
possible exception. Moving to Step 2 of the Business Plan requires that you as Master (full-charge) Pet Trimmer work with an Assistant Pet Trimmer as a team, following Madson Team Trimming Operations. Mobile groomers only need one groomer on site at your clients, right? Usually, but there are some large mobile salons with 2-3 groomers, and potentially they could use Step 2. All of the other programs part of The Madson Management System, such as the Madson People and Pet Marketing Program, Madson Client Relations Program and Madson Finance & Bookkeeping are perfectly suited to a professional, stable mobile grooming business. Although From Problems to Profits was not written specifically for mobile grooming thousands of copies have been sold to mobile groomers satisfied that the same principles of management work in all types of grooming operations. The principles of management do not change from one person to staffed businesses. You will simply not need to use 3 chapters dedicated to employees. However, you do need to use all 7 job descriptions. One person grooming business owner/groomers, whether they know it or not, are carrying out the work of all 7 job descriptions we provide. Actually, you are doing that in your business now if you are one person business. As you know, part of your day you don't groom, you provide client relations like our Receptionist position, and then slip back into being a groomer. Part of your day you work as a bather, and then the groomer doing styling. At the end of the day you are not a groomer, but the manager balancing your cashier paperwork and administrating the business. You are not a groomer when you do that work. You have put the groomer aside and now you are the owner/manager. So already you are carrying many hats, and you need to do the same with our system. All of our info about the various job positions applies to you as a one person business, you do it all, just as you are now or will if you choose to be a one person business. |
