• Conduct regular coaching sessions focused on communication, professionalism, client experience, and conversion performance.
• Foster a positive, high-energy culture built on teamwork, ownership, and continuous development.

• Ensure every client receives an elevated, personalized experience from their first interaction through booking.
• Guide prospective clients with confidence, professionalism, and empathy while helping convert inquiries into scheduled sessions.
• Handle escalated client situations with sound judgment, professionalism, and solution-focused communication.
• Maintain consistency in client messaging, service standards, and overall brand experience.

• Develop onboarding, coaching, and ongoing training that strengthens communication, confidence, and customer service skills.
• Mentor team members in client psychology, relationship-building, objection handling, and effective communication.
• Create an environment where team members continuously improve through coaching, practice, and constructive feedback.
• Identify future leaders within the department and support their professional growth.

• Monitor department workflows and identify opportunities to improve efficiency and the overall client experience.
• Collaborate with leadership to implement new processes, improve communication, and increase operational effectiveness.
• Ensure departmental policies, procedures, and service standards are consistently followed.
• Use performance data and client feedback to recommend improvements and measure success.

• Enjoy coaching others and helping people reach their full potential.
• Lead by example and naturally build trust and accountability within a team.
• Balance empathy with high expectations and performance standards.
• Communicate confidently and professionally in both written and verbal interactions.
• Stay calm under pressure and approach challenges with a solution-oriented mindset.
• Thrive in a fast-paced environment where every client interaction matters.
• Take ownership of team performance and enjoy improving both people and processes.

• 3+ years of customer service, client experience, or hospitality leadership experience.
• Previous experience managing, coaching, and developing a customer-facing team.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to coach effectively.
• Experience handling escalated client situations with professionalism and sound judgment.
• Demonstrated ability to improve team performance through accountability and development.

• Proficiency with CRM systems and customer communication platforms is preferred.

• Experience in luxury, hospitality, retail, wellness, or other service-focused industries.
• Background in appointment-based businesses or high-volume client communication.
• Experience with sales coaching, conversion improvement, or client retention strategies.
• Passion for mentoring and developing young professionals.

• Competitive salary (based on experience)
