6. Let me tell you a story…..in 2003 I was:
ü Selling 10-packs
ü Doing a million consults
ü Spending 14hours/day in the club
ü Constantly worrying about if my clients would renew or not
Cut to 2007:
ü Selling an average package value of over $6200 (over 120 sessions at
a time)
ü Closing the majority of the consults I was doing
ü Only in the club with my clients, plus a few hours/wk for prospecting
ü Knowing my income for at least 6 mths ahead
Work less, get more
7. Find out as much as you can about their previous
exercise experience.
This will give you an idea of the successes and
struggles they have and where they need your
support this time around!
Ø Contact information, including email
Ø Exercise background, dig deep
Ø Build Rapport
Client Intro/Background
8.
PAR-Q
Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire
Ensures you are taking care of safety and health issues first,
and addressing any concerns.
Permission to exercise is necessary if there are any YESES.
Often:
Ø Rushed
Ø Not signed
Ø Incomplete info.
Instead:
Ø Ensure this is completed
Ø Have the client READ the questions him/herself
Ø Ensure the form is SIGNED by all necessary parties
9. What does the client WANT?
Creates the basis for your prescription/plan.
ü Find out what their goals are
ü Be specific
ü Find out when they would
like to achieve their goals
ü Discover WHY they want
to achieve these goals
ü Dig 5 Deep
Goal setting and 5 WHYS
10. A short workout or assessment to give the prospect a chance
to see what it’s like to work with you.
People buy from others whom they Know, Like and Trust (KLT).
Often: • Disengagement
• Lack of interest
• Exercises that don’t match the prospect’s goals or abilities
Instead: • Fun, smiles, excitement
• Talking in “we” instead of “you”
• Encouragement
• Exercises that make sense
The Training Experience
11. Show them the path and the results they’ll achieve
along the way. Give them something to look forward to.
Create belief in you and your knowledge as a trainer,
and build excitement around achieving their goals!
ü Showing them the milestones along the way
ü The plan is an overview, not a detailed prescription with
technical jargon
Client Plan
12. Let them know the BEST way to get them to their goals.
Give them the opportunity to have all the information
they need to make a decision. Then, let them make it
for themselves.
Recommendation
ü Present the recommendation based on
their goals and the plan you created, not
on what you think they can AFFORD
ü Describe the investment they will make
ü Ask for the sale
13. Go through their objections with them, and work
together to come up with a solution that makes sense
for both you and the client.
I see:
• Trainers who let people go after 1 NO/objection
• Eyes down, and fidgeting
Instead:
• Confidence in your recommendation
• Dig into their objections and work with them to find the solution.
• If you let them go after 1-3 objections you are doing them a
disservice.
Problem Solving
14. Be prepared to sign the contract WHEN they say
YES! Keep your confidence up, knowing that you
know how to actually PROCESS the payment when
they decide to sign-up!
ü Have paperwork ready
ü Be prepared to take payment right away, and to do so
quickly
ü Congrats! You did it!
