How do I handle clients that are not respectful to my program?
Hi Fit Pro, TrainerLisa here and Thank you for your question, as this is a question you may have to ask yourself more times than you’d like during your career.
When it comes to clients, in a perfect Certified Personal Trainer’s World, your client would do the following:
Networking–as fitness professionals, we all know what it is and why we need to use it, but so many of us don’t or don’t know how to do so. In our Fitness Professional Online June issue, we’ll be giving you many tips to start using early to increase your business, your standing in the fitness community, and build your brand!
Before we get into the heavy details, we’ll start with the basics of what networking is and why you should be doing it.
Networking is defined as: The exchange of information or services among individuals, groups, or institutions; specifically: the cultivation of productive relationships for employment or business. That being said, how does networking work for you, the fitness professional, and how can it help you increase your business as well as your brand?
Hi Fit Pros,
Trainerlisa here and wishing you a spectacular May 2014! In this issue we will be addressing Alternate Revenue Streams and how it can increase your brand, income and marketability.
Multi-Level Marketing (MLM): For many, MLM is a great way to increase their income, with supplements being the prime focus. Some of the perhaps more popular that are out there right now are (in no particular order): Beachbody, Isagenix, Advocare, Bodybyvi, HerbalLife, TakeShapeforlife (Medifast), just to name a few.
While many have been able to make a very profitable income with mlm, many more have been burnt on them. My suggestion to you if this is something of interest, do your homework and research every company, find out your bottom line cost (products, website, etc), before making the investment. Believing in an using the products can help you in your business endeavors.
As Fitness Professionals, many of you have been or are thinking of expanding your fitness empire, but are not quite sure where you want to take your business. The biggest questions are how can you work smarter, not harder? How can you increase your income with PSI (passive streams of income), when there are only 24 hours in a day?
This is where implementing a sound Client Acquisition program can help you take your business to the next level.
Now, before we continue on let’s look at what Client Acquisition is; Client Acquisition is defined as the process of acquiring new clients for your business or converting existing prospects into new clients. Your main goal is to acquire as many clients as possible through your marketing campaign, thus increasing your email listing and ultimately having a great funnel system with your PSI campaign.
