This section is where you can set targets for your team members, we have two sections, Targets on the right and Minimum targets on the left

A general rule of thumb is to reduce the Minimum Targets by 10%

  •  Service Target -  This is how much your team member should aim for in a week for services
  • Retail Target - This is how much retail your team member should aim to sell to clients each week
  • Care Factor % - When you are looking after your client, you talk about what you are doing and how to recreate that haircut look at home. You may advise on what products to use to best replicate this look. Care Factor measures how many guests you "care enough" for to do this, so much so that they purchase a product. For example, you see 10 clients of which 5 will purchase 1 or more products, This means your Care Factor is 50%. If however you do 1 client and they purchase 1 product due to your recommendations, your care factor would be 100%. Care Factor will not be affected by how many products you sell. It is based on how many clients purchase a product
  • Rebookings - This will set the percentage of clients your team members should aim at rebooking
  • Client Count - This sets how many clients your team member should see in a week
  • Request - This sets how many clients should be requesting your team member by name for their service
  • Average Service - This sets the average service price the team members should be aiming for
  • Utilisation - This sets how much time the team members should be on the salon floor cutting/colouring
  • Normal days worked per week - This sets how many days a week your team member works
  • Potential clients per period - This sets how many clients your team member should see over 1 month

For the Average Service KPI, you may want to look over 3 months on team Dashboards to help calculate what this figure should be.

 


 

To set up team member Commissions, please select the Commission tab

Setting up commission on Salon iQ, allows you to target your team on technical services differently from other services if you wish. By doing this you could increase the technical services your team do as this will be one of their main focuses.

commissions

  • Exclude from Commission - Toggle green to exclude service or technical commission from your team member
  • Basic plus commission - Toggle green so the team member would get basic and commission. If red they would only get commission if the target is hit, if not they would get a basic wage

In the above example, we can note the team members must reach the target of £1500 before they receive any commission.

  • Linear bands - If commission is applied on the whole takings when a target is reached, toggle to green. e.g. in the above picture if this is ticked and the team member brought in £4000 they would receive 30% on everything. If it is NOT toggled green the 30% would just apply to the difference. e.g. 30% from £2000 - £4000
  • Pay on units - Toggle green  If you pay commission based on units sold as opposed to value check this box. e.g. £1 per retail product sold


 

To set up the team member roster, select the Roster tab

roster

  • Add the date on which the new team member starts (Weeks run from Sun to Sat)
  • Weeks in roster -  If your team members' roster is a basic week this needs to be set to 1. If they change their roster say every other Sat off then change this to 2 and click on set weeks. Add the start time and end time, if the team member works across 2 salons you can change this in the salon drop-down box.
