The Mentor Chair · Building a clientele
The situation
Someone in your chair needs work that isn't your strength, and passing it along feels like giving business away.
From the mentor chair
No.
Sometimes taking care of a client means recognizing that another professional is a better fit for what they need.
Referring someone doesn't have to mean losing.
Build relationships with professionals whose strengths complement yours. A referral you make today can build trust and professional relationships that send the right clients back to you later.
You can build your own business without treating every other beauty professional as competition.
Mentor principle
Community over competition.
What I'd do next
