Meet “The Matchmaker”: The Fun New Way Clients Find You
Finding a new beauty pro can feel overwhelming for clients. That’s why Client Connect provides The Matchmaker tool to make discovery quick, interactive, and personalized.
Instead of endless scrolling, prospective clients answer a quick survey about their beauty goals and preferences. From there, smart technology delivers custom recommendations straight to their inbox or phone.
My Salon Suite owner, Linda Bunyan, highlights how The Matchmaker creates instant connections: “Clients complete a brief survey, receive their “Meet Your Matches” summary with three pro recommendations, and get direct access to book on the spot.” Linda’s advice for Members? “Take a minute to view your profile through a prospective client’s eyes and make sure your photo looks great, your services are fully listed, your “About Me” is compelling, and your booking software link is connected!”
When a client gets matched with your suite, you want to make sure your profile is ready to turn that click into a confirmed appointment!
