Do you have anything open this week for color?
Yes. For color, the first step is a consult so we can look at your current color and goal. Wednesday at 3pm or Friday at 11am is open.
Friday works. What should I book under?
Perfect. I can book you for a color consult Friday at 11am. What is the best email for the confirmation?

How much is personal training?
It depends on schedule, goals, and whether one-on-one or small group is the better fit. Want to grab a free intro call so we can map the right plan?
Can you quote a tree removal from photos?
Yes. Send a few photos, the address area, and whether the tree is near a structure or power line. I can get this routed for an estimate.
A good demo should prove that the assistant knows the business, understands the moment, protects the next step, and knows when to hand the conversation back.
