How Far Do I Chase a Personal Training Prospect?
One of my coaching clients wrote me an email to ask about how far to chase a procrastinating client. You know the ones I’m talking about… …I need to talk to my husband about. …I’m not sure, let me think about it. …I haven’t decided yet. …my husband doesn’t want me to do it(thinks it’s […]
January Marketing
Well it’s almost that time, that time of year where everyone begins with a clean slate. Unusually motivated, ready to dive in and commit, and unfortunately fiscally compromised from Christmas festivities and holiday spending. In the twelve years I’ve been a personal trainer here in Red Deer, January has always been a little anti-climatic. You […]
Looking Back and Ahead

Set, Show, Close, Know Your Metrics
How long a period has elapsed since your last 10 inquiries for your service? Of those 10 how many did you get to meet with and spend any amount of time with? And of those how many became paying clients? If you can’t answer this off the top of your head you should be able […]
How-to Make Your Services a Hot Commodity

Your Marketing Funnel and the Desperation Loop
Almost all new trainers, myself included, seem to get stuck in the Desperation Loop. The Desperation Loop is that time where we are trying super hard to generate momentum in our businesses.
