| Had yet another call with a gym owner…frustrated with her take-home salary. She was doing a combo of 1-1 and a small group. They wanted to do more small groups and booked the call with me to help them market small groups. Here’s something to think about: When a client comes into PT with knee pain, the bad Physical therapist will work on the knee. A good PT will work on the hip or the ankle. The pain site is usually not the source. Same for this person. They wanted more small groups because they thought it would bring in more money…and the 1-1s were burning her out. So, in this case, the bad consultant would have given her strategies to market small groups. A good consultant digs into the numbers…the only reality in our business. It turns out that even when their small group was 80% full, it still made less money than a 1-1 session. Meaning…the pricing was a black hole and if she didn’t change it… they’d be treading water for years. It’s not a marketing problem…it’s a broken model problem…specifically with her pricing This is something you cannot mess up… Spending money on marketing only to funnel people into an unprofitable model is quite possibly…the biggest mistake any gym owner can make. This is why when we sign a gym owner up for the SPF Mastermind we always have what we called the Profitable Model Call™ We have some lethal marketing skills to teach …but you don’t get em till you show us it’s going to make you some money when you fill the spots. Further, I’ve also put together an annual seminar called Fitness Business Mastery to help combat this thorn in the side of so many gym owners. This live event helps gym owners make sure they are running a model that’s going to pay them what they deserve. The seminar on December 3-5 tackles these 3 parts: Day 1: Vince Gabriele’s Business Foundations: How To Structure Your Business and Time for Maximum Profits Day 2: Your Next 50 New Clients: How to Build a Sales and Marketing Machine that never stops Day 3: Business on Auto-Pilot: How to create the systems, team, and culture that work even when you’re on vacation. Imagine that. Spending a full day on each of these concepts. Hold off on that MBA folks, if you own a gym and want a real-world business education from a grizzled Vet(me) you’ll want to be in of these seats. You’ll walk out of my gym in NJ on Day 3 ready to take on the world. The investment to get into this small event(only taking 20 gym owners)… is $3,000…. …But Super Early Bird Pricing is now available at a fraction of the investment above(expires 9/15) There’s a LOT more to tell you about this event… …If you’d like more info just reply with YES Vince Gabriele P.S.
