I’m left scratching my head

I’m left scratching my head

Slightly unsure what I just heard

Did he really just say that 🤨

A business owner, who relies on making new sales

Doesn’t WANT to make sales 🫣

Honestly you can’t make it up

This guy is not in a great position right now

He reached out on Instagram about the Incubator, so we had a quick chat on zoom

He had roughly 12 clients on hid mid size group programme (£117pm)

Still doing of PT clients

But had every single reason to not make a sale as we dove into it

And so blinded by fear now, that he can’t see where the next set of sales are going to come from

I had to be honest with him… I had been in that same place

Things were going well when I was in Southampton, I built up to 35 clients, all paying £150pm

£5k pm, only a studio rent of £1500 to pay & rest was mine

So I took my foot off the gas

Turned ads off, stopped posting on social media, stopped following up with leads

A month later, and I had lost 10 clients due to the summer holidays about to kick in

2 weeks later, another 3

And I wasn’t anywhere close to replacing them 😢

I also started to make excuses as to why I couldn’t sign up anyone

I couldn’t even see sales that where literally sat waiting for me to take the cash off them

Then something clicked

But if you don’t have that click, then you are a dead fitness business walking

Fresh Leads & New Sales are the lifeblood of any business

& there is 2 things I can guarantee in your business too

All your client have a shelf life, they are going to leave!

And everything is going to cost you more year on year

There are so many people, prospects, ready to go clients waiting for you

You just need to reach out & grab them
