I’m not going to refer to this person by the name as some of you may know who I’m talking about…

My marketing agency just completed the website of what will soon be(my prediction) the most successful personal training franchise in the US.

The founder is someone I have heaps and heaps of respect for and the fact that he chose our agency was an honor. 

In order to keep things under one roof, he asked us if we could also do the marketing for his franchises…in addition to building the websites.

I said no. 

It wasn’t because we didn’t want the work, it was because we weren’t ready to take it on.

Building a website for a franchise is a huge animal, much bigger than building one for a gym. 

We needed every resource possible and taking on the marketing would have put us over the edge of capacity. 

So I took a risk and said NO…to what would have been a huge contract with even more opportunity.

We finally just completed the website and during the process made a few new hires…giving us much more bandwidth.

The conversation came up again and we agreed to take on the project. 

The founder of the franchise mentioned how much he respected that we told him NO.

He said other marketing agencies would have taken the project regardless and most likely overpromised (to get the gig) and as always underdelivered. 

This further deepened the trust he had in us. 

The same goes for you at your gym. 

Do you take on a client that you know needs physical therapy? 

Or do you refer out…and lose the business?

When you refer out…you end up winning most of the time…especially if they end up getting better with the PT you referred out to. 

So what needs to be in place for you to refer out and “Lose” business?

Well, the secret is not running your business from your heels.

Meaning you’re not desperate for your next client.

And if you are… You’ve got the courage to make the right decision even when things are tough.

My hope is that you’re not desperate for your next client because you’ve been running your business the right way.

A way that keeps clients for the long haul because you do great work on the training floor.

A marketing system that works while you sleep.

A financial system that pays attention to profit over revenue. 

A hiring system that attracts the right team members.

And so on…

If this is the kind of business you want…one that is strong, secure, and successful…go here
