STEP 2. CONNECT

The second step in your sales process involves making the initial connection with a potential customer. Rate how well your studio is doing in each of the following areas...

  1. Text & Call Readiness
    How well is your business set up to handle calls, DMs, and texts (e.g., dedicated receptionist or manager, text-enabled number, SMS chat, missed-call text-back, call tracking, Google Business Chat)?

  1. Website & Listings Optimization: How effectively does your website and online presence convert leads into sales (e.g., CTA popups, social links, search listings, mobile-friendliness, conversion tracking)?

  1. Lead Engagement Systems: How well do you engage and follow up with leads (e.g., auto-replies, FAQ responses, code word campaigns, video messaging, unified inbox, reply time)?

BadGood
  1. Number and Quality Of Conversations: How many potential customers do you talk to each week, and how consistent, personal and helpful are your conversations across multiple platforms?

STEP 3. CONSULTATION

Step 3 of the Tattoo Sales Process is where you collaborate with your customer to agree on design, placement, scheduling, and payment. There are multiple ways a consultation can be given (e.g., phone, text, dm, email, zoom, in-person), and multiple ways a prospect can be pre-qualified before you agree to speak or meet with them (e.g., consultation fee, design form, auto-filters).

STEP 4. BOOKING

Step 4 of the Tattoo Sales Process is where the customer commits to working with you, typically by paying a deposit before scheduling their tattoo session. Here it is important to distinguish between Artist, Manager, and Owner, because each has different requirements for a successful booking.

STEP 5. SESSION

This is the part of the Sales Process where you give your customer what they want, in a way that works for both of you. Typically: The customer wants the highest quality work that they can afford. The artist wants the highest payment for the kind of work they most enjoy.

STEP 6. COMPLETION

Once the tattoo is done, the next step is to actually complete the sale. For the most successful studios, at the very least, this always includes collecting payment, thanking the customer, providing a receipt, and ensuring customer satisfaction by asking for a review.

STEP 7. AFTERCARE

It is in this final step where the best studios leave the rest behind. Why? Because "The fortune is in the follow-up."

Aftercare isn't just giving healing instructions and sending your customer on their way. It's about continuing to nurture them long after they have left your studio. This keeps them coming back for more, referring other people, and increases both profits and CLV (Customer Lifetime Value).

All done. Good work!

No Leads?

You have already invested a lot of time, money and energy promoting yourself. Is it working? Are you consistently getting leads?

If not, why not?

Poor Customer Service?

It's one thing to convert likes or followers into leads and customers. It's something else to convert customers into raving fans who keep on coming back and giving you great reviews.


Are you giving 5-Star Customer Service before, during, and after every session? What might happen if you did?

No Follow-Up?

What are your reasons for why your calendar isn't always booked? Do you think it is something out of your control?

Well, when was the last time you reached out to everyone on your client list? Could any of them want a touch-up? Or maybe they'd like to come in for a free design consultation...

The point is, are you staying in contact with your clients. Making them feel appreciated. Inviting repeat business. Measuring Lifetime Visitor Value.

What's your strategy?
