In a recent SmartTan.com poll, nearly 90 percent of indoor tanning businesses said they use one-on-one training to teach employees salon procedures.<\/p>\n

Just 13 percent combined said they primarily use salon manuals, videos, or other forms of training.<\/p>\n

One-on-one instruction is certainly an important part of training employees on salon procedures like cleaning, opening and closing, sales procedures, and operating equipment, but training shouldn\u2019t stop there. In-person training is vital, but it is also imperfect. It comes with the likelihood of inconsistency, inefficiency and human error. No matter how fine-tuned your in-person training regimen is, each training is going to be a little different, especially if you have multiple trainers and multiple salons. Points are going to be forgotten or not explained well, or maybe the trainees just won\u2019t pay close attention.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why Smart Tan offers MyTracks Customized Salon Training. With MyTracks, you can make your own training courses on any salon procedure you want and assign them to employees just like you would a traditional Smart Tan training track. This allows you to ensure absolute consistency, not tie up your managers with constant training, and ensure comprehension by testing trainees on the material covered. Here\u2019s how it works:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Create the material.<\/b> This can be a video you shot or a document you created.<\/li>\n
  2. Upload the file.<\/b><\/li>\n
  3. <\/b>Add a supplemental file, if you want.<\/b> Have a handout related to the training you want your employees to keep? Just upload it!<\/li>\n
  4. Create a test, if you want.<\/b> Want to make sure your employees really understand the traiing? You can choose to create a multiple-choice test for them to take.<\/li>\n
  5. Assign the training. <\/b>Just like you would assign a Smart Tan training. You can also track who took the training and how they did on the test.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    MyTracks is available as an add-on to your Smart Tan membership. Call your Smart Tan representative today for more information.<\/p>\n
