I asked my 9-year-old how to get more customers, and his answer beat half the marketing advice I’ve paid good money for.

The truth is, making more money in your hair, beauty, or service-based business can be simpler than you think.

And sometimes the best business growth tips come from the most unexpected places.

In this episode of Coffee with Carissa, I hand the mic to my son Jayden, and he drops business ideas that hair and beauty owners spend years learning.

💜How to sell more to the client already in your chair
💜Why your customers get bored with your offer, and the ten-second fix my 9-year-old spotted
💜What never to do with mean comments
💜How hair and beauty businesses can add retail or upsell opportunities
💜If your latest offer isn't selling, here's the first thing to change
💜The simple way to stay motivated when business feels slow
