Melbourne, Monday March 2, 2009.

First, apologies to the poor lady in Melbourne, Florida, who booked her ticket to the Road to Riches salon & spa marketing seminar without realising it was in Melbourne, Australia. Theresa, don’t worry, we’ll be refunding your ticket price right away

Apart from that small misunderstanding, the Melbourne, Australia event this week was a cracker. Staff, managers and owners from more than 100 salons & spas across Victoria packing the Park Hyatt’s grand ballroom for the morning session. (Plus a few more from Sydney, Brisbane, New Zealand and the USA)

Inner Circle closed-door Question & Answer Mastermind Session

New and veteran members joined Jill and me for a two-hour special Mastermind session right after the seminar, and from the feedback we’ve received, it’ll become a fixture of future Road to Riches events scheduled for Sydney, the Gold Coast and Brisbane later this year. (To book your ticket online, go here)

Here’s just a couple of the comments received from Inner Circle members….

“Just a quick note to thank you for Monday’s seminar, it was a great day and the lunch was superb. I found the ”closed door” event to be very beneficial and has helped me to identify some real weaknesses in our business. We are too nice and our staff are having it too easy, we are carrying them, this is going to change.” Stephen Green, Streamline Hair Design, Laurieton, Victoria

“Hi Greg and team, just writing to thank you for the seminar on Monday and especially the afternoon networking session. It was a great idea and I think everybody got quite a bit out of it. The morning was great for re-motivating, as we all sometimes get a bit slack. Thank you again – well done. Regards Jana Jantos. Jana’s Beauty Clinic, Endeavour Hills, Vic”

$5,000 donation to Red Cross Victoria Bushfire Appeal

At the Melbourne seminar we were delighted to announce that Worldwide Salon Marketing would donate $5,000 – half of all ticket sales – to the victims of the devastating Black Saturday bushfires. The death toll from Australia’s worst natural disaster is expected to reach nearly 250 men, women and children, with more than 30 people still missing an unaccounted for.

Fifty percent of all ticket sales to this year’s Australian Road to Riches series of seminars will go to the Red Cross appeal, so we’re hoping to be sending much more money to the cause as the year goes on.
