Wow

I’ve never noticed that on FedEx before. How does it work if you can’t see it? Ha

Perfect timing! I’m writing some copy for PT services with fees and you’ve backed up how I was going to do it using some longevity packages.

Means I also get committed and reliable clientele!

Cheers bud, Mike

I too look for marketing where ever I go and your right, there are a lot of cleaver marketing tips. Plus I do balloon animals for a living so thanks for the marketing tip…. I have to try it.

Jason, for your private training and group training here’s what you do…
During your initial phone call, ask questions to find out if they would be a better candidate for group training or 1 on 1…

When they arrive, pull out the contract that you think would be the best fit (group or 1 on 1)

To many options do get to confusing so have separate contracts.

You can always pull out the other contract if you have to.

Never saw that FedEx thing before, does it work?

Do you list more than 2 payment plan options? Will it confuse people to have plans listed as such if you have a few different options? I have private training, and group training so I was wondering I could still list prices that way.

Thanks

Yo Steve-
Definately a good marketing strategy. Maybe we should hange some Fit Body cards around our necks when we teach boot camp (hehe)

Steve!

That’s freakin’ awesome. When I was a barista we switched to a HUGE bowl for tips and really “salted” it with ones and fives. Then, when we handed back change, we held it right over the bowl so they had to reach out for it.

Almost doubled our tips!

Now I’m wondering, how will my clients tip me if I hang a bottle of scotch around my neck…
