Business & Marketing
The best way to describe Kati’s stage presence is a mix of your favorite preacher; someone who gets to the core, the heart, the emotion. And someone who crosses boundaries, challenges you to think differently, encourages you to step outside of your box. Kati will push you in the most positive ways possible. The question is, are you ready to be the best version of yourself? Are you ready to move forward, even if moving forward means entering unknown territory?

She will get down to the nitty gritty that’s so often swept aside. Don’t just take our word for it. Hear what others have to say!

You don't have to be an “influencer” on Instagram to get massive marketing results. You DO have to learn what it takes to dominate your market and area in addition to playing the social media game! And that's where we come in!
This is not about doing fun, cheeky social media posts for the sake of having fun. This is about getting real, tangible results for your efforts. If you're sick of throwing spaghetti on the wall to see what will stick, this class is for you.
Be Encouraged!
This is just the beginning of our sales and marketing relationship. We promise you will gain greater insight than you've ever received before--because NO ONE teaches salon marketing, and if they try--it's usually about your social media. We've been there, we've done that, and we're getting the same, stale results. That's why throughout all of 2020 we are bringing you sales and marketing education.
