Sarah Mason, founder and owner of Cape Cod Nail Co. (two nail salons on Cape Cod, eight nail techs)

The problem
Winter revenue dropped sharply and she needed to know how many booked hours, at what productivity, it takes to break even and profit.
What happened
Self-reported: the analysis showed client counts held up in winter but higher-value pedicures fell off, which led to a winter pedicure marketing campaign. No revenue figures given.
