Oftentimes, it seems that women in leadership are forgotten about in mainstream media. In the <a href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/fortune500\/list\/\">Fortune 500<\/a> 2018 list, only 24 out of 500 of the most powerful CEOs in the world were female. While there are undoubtedly many women in leadership in the world of business, this is not being reflected in popular publications or media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While this figure may seem exasperating, one industry is making a real difference. The salon industry, in which inspiring women are taking over, shows a whopping 93% of leadership roles being female, according to data pulled by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phorest.com\/\">Phorest Salon Software<\/a>*. To celebrate women and of course, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.internationalwomensday.com\/\">International Women\u2019s Day<\/a>, we\u2019ve interviewed some strong, inspirational girl bosses in the Phorest Family about what being a leader means to them.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"\/?p=55110\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Read more here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9.

Good, Better, Best: Introducing The Predictive Rebooking SMS Feature<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>(By Ronan Perceval, CEO of Phorest Salon Software)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Excerpt:&nbsp;<\/strong>&#8220;Sometimes it\u2019s the small things that make the biggest difference. And when it comes to running a salon, I have seen that to be very true. Just take industry rebooking figures as an example. From looking at the colossal amount of data we have from clients \u2013 5,000 salons and spas use Phorest \u2013 it is clear that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phorest.com\/au\/blog\/reasons-value-rebooking-clients\/\">salons who rebook their clients on the day tend to outperform those that don\u2019t<\/a>. Rebooking has a massive impact on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phorest.com\/au\/blog\/loyalty-rebooking-salon-clients\/\">salons and spas\u2019 client loyalty<\/a>. Reason for this being that once someone is booked in for a future service, they\u2019re less likely to think about moving to another salon. Plus, clients who book their appointments in advance tend to visit you on a more regular cycle \u2013 say every 6 weeks \u2013 rather than waiting until the last minute to pop in \u2013 which might be 8 or 9 weeks later.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Read more here.

Unfortunately, deeply rooted habits don\u2019t just go away at the first attempt \u2014 bad habits die hard. It can sometimes be a lengthy process, but if time management is a skill, it means it can be taught and certainly can change your mindset and how you function.
