The fifth annual Team-Based Pay Awards were held September 29th, 2019 at the Westin Buckhead Atlanta in Atlanta, GA. The awards ceremony ran concurrently with Strategies' Team-Based Pay Conference 2019 at the same location, and were sponsored by Kopsa Otte.

Strategies created the Team-Based Pay Awards to celebrate and honor the superior performance and financial successes of salons, spas and medspas that are currently using Strategies Team-Based Pay compensation program.
