James Mack

while shooting the 2nd Annual Reign of Style Hair Competition and Show

i also met James Mack!(bio is below)
he gave a lesson about how to client him self for business.
while i was in that class taking pictures he taught me some stuff.
some of the key items that i took from that day was

1. CUSTOMER SERVICES IS NUMBER 1
2. Its about 80 Percent Marketing and 20 Percent Skill
3. if you don't have a client, go get them, don't wait for them to come, because they will never come.
4.Go out of your way to get a client, go to different events,
5. this is my favorite one.KEEP ON LEARNING, DON'T STOP, take classes, the more you know the more you can offer to your client!


Thanks James!!
You Are the BEST!!

I'll have a picture of James and I up soon ;)
