Consider bundle offers that increase average spend without depending on new footfall. 4. Staff Optimization Analyze commission and hours data to improve productivity and incentive alignment. Staff-specific performance dashboards can help correct underperformers early. 5. Monthly Dashboard Monitoring Set up a real-time KPI tracker for client volume, revenue per service, and staff output.
