How AI And Technology Will Transform Your Grooming Business 🤖

AI can be your secret weapon to work smarter, not harder in your grooming business.

Happy Friday, Daily Groomers!

We have another free workshop coming up on June 12th where I will go deep on everything software, automation and AI.

I can’t tell you how important this topic will be over the next 5 years.

Well actually… let me do my best to explain it with a little storytellin’!

[you walk in and see me sitting cross-legged, lighting candles, eyes closed]

Welcome my friend…I’m Alex the Fortune Teller™ – The Oracle of Grooming. The Prince of Predictions.

You: Oh.. I was actually just looking for a bathroom. But I guess I do have a question for you…

Speak it.

You: Well, I’m pretty worried about AI. It seems great - but I’m worried about the future. Is this going to replace my job?

Mmmm… I see… a letter.

You: A letter?

Silence! Your words are disturbing my vision… the letter…X? No… C? no…AH YES. There it is. The letter is clear to my inner eye now. I see the letter K.

You: The letter K..?

Yes. The future is shaped like a K. There are two paths.

The first path, looks like this *** takes out glitter pen ***

You: Oh sh*t! 80% of my skills will be replaced by AI?

Yes dear. You are a horse. And Henry Ford just put a car on the road. The outlook is grim.

You: C’mon don’t you think that’s a little dramatic?

Are you questioning Alex the Fortune Teller?

You: No no, of course not. But wait, you said the future is shaped like a K.. what’s the upside?

You have a choice. Either get left behind by those embracing AI, or learn to use it and become 10X more productive.

You: Got it. So how exactly do I do this?

Listen kid, here’s what you need to do:

Stop thinking of running your business as 1 big thing. Instead, think of it as a “bundle of tasks”.

For example, as a grooming business owner – your job is a bundle of tasks - outside doing the actual grooming:

  • Picking up the phone

  • Answering questions

  • Talking to potential customers

  • Sending text messages

  • Logging client and pet data

  • Scheduling appointments

  • Rebooking appointments

  • Talking notes during a call or groom

  • Sending appointment reminder messages

  • Following up with people

  • Etc..

How many of those tasks can AI do today? Maybe only 2-3 out of 20 can be significantly boosted with AI today.

But AI is improving fast. Soon, half your tasks will be handled by AI.

Write this down - in the future being able to “manage robots” will be more valuable than managing humans.

So learn to use AI tools. Make them your baby-back-b*tch.

You: Make them my baby back wha–?

You heard me. ‼️Now join our free workshop on June 12th at 7:30pm Eastern.‼️ I’ll show you all the ways AI can be used to level up your grooming business.

You: Thanks, Alex The Fortune Teller. I’m going to go do this!

WAIT!

You: What? Are you having another vision

Yes… I see … numbers…. 15%....20%...25%....

You: Noooooooooooo!!!
