The Long-Term Success of Service Businesses: The Role of Competitive Pay
Unresolved forecast: Service businesses that pay significantly above market rates will attract and retain the best talent, resulting in long-term success.
The Claim
“The service based businesses that win the long run are the ones that pay the best. Like if you're in fitness, you don't get paid a ton, but most people like being in fitness. People in hair like being in hair. People in makeup like being in makeup, right? The people want to be there. And so if you can always pay 20 to 25% above, then you'll suck up all the best talent and they'll come to you and you'll retain them longer.”
Unresolved forecast: Service businesses that pay significantly above market rates will attract and retain the best talent, resulting in long-term success.
