You Forgot About an Appointment
A client calls to set up an appointment for next Tuesday. On a good day, your planner is in front of you and you immediately pencil them in. On a bad day, you put down the phone, instantly get distracted – your next client walks in the door, your child asks for dinner, another call comes through – and that pencil never quite makes it to the paper. Tuesday rolls around and you’re double-booked, or worse not even there!
If this sounds like you, real-time scheduling and calendar synchronization will be a game-changer. You need a tech solution that will automate your booking process, instantly update your calendar, and send reminders so you never miss an appointment again.
You Misplaced Your Client Notes
A new client comes in and you totally nail their custom color mix. You jot down the exact formula in one of your (many) notebooks and toss it in your station drawer. Their touch-up appointment comes along and you can’t seem to remember which notebook you used, so you’re starting from scratch… and you realize you don’t have their color in stock.
If this hits too close to home, the solution you’re seeking is streamlined client management. You need a platform that can track your client contact info, organize appointment notes, and send you notifications of upcoming bookings. This is the personal assistant you always wanted.

You Have No Idea How Much Money You’ve Made
The middle of April is fast approaching and you’ve suddenly realized you have no idea what your income was last year. You’re rummaging through shoeboxes of invoices, cross-referencing an Excel spreadsheet of expenses, and using a calculator to tally up your profits; you swore you’d be more organized this year.
If tax time has you sweating year after year, you need an accounting makeover. You’ll do best with are porting system that automatically calculates your P&L so you always know what you’ve made and it’s easy to share when your accountant comes knocking.
Your Product Inventory Is Not Adding Up
It’s time to place a product order and you’re having trouble tracking down those MAC Matte Lipsticks that you know you just ordered last month. You double-check your retail notebook, but it doesn’t seem up-to-date, so you go ahead and order another dozen… and then you find the “missing” lipsticks in your kit.
If this has happened to you, your paper trail can’t be trusted. It’s time to activate an inventory tracker that you can rely on, which is ideally one that doesn’t depend on your handwritten notes.
