Quotes:

“Number one mistake is that they don't figure in their profit margin at the beginning”(Doug Campbell) (01:28)

“If you want to have a real business, hopefully with any business, the goal should be at some point to sell it.” (Doug Campbell) (03:56)

The goal should be to properly reward your stylist for working inside the salon and have them get paid at a level that they make money and the business can make money.” (Jason Everett) (05:54)

“If you train your staff properly and if you can help them achieve what they're after, which is earning more income, growing their own personal book of business so they can have the lifestyle that they want and you can grow it. You don't need to pay more commission. (Jason Everett) (12:10)
