I see this frequently.  This business will fool us.  We only sign up the interested ?hot? prospects that don?t always require us to be disciplined (and we think we?re doing a good job), it?s a matter of ?don?t talk them out of it,? but that won?t grow your gym.  It?s not good enough to know the process; you MUST have the discipline to follow the process.  Here are some areas we see that get ignored all too quick;

Closing.  As the saying goes, if you don?t ask, the answer is always no.  This can be uncomfortable for many salespeople, but if you want the membership sale, you will have to ask.  All too often we lose our discipline and start to say things like, what do you think, how does this sound or do you have any questions.  That won?t work.

Prospecting.  The key to this is taking massive action and having many avenues for generating new prospects.  When we lose our discipline, we end up only doing 1 ? 2 things to generate traffic.  No sales will ever be closed unless you have people to speak to.

Nurturing.  This one is frequently ignored.  You must have a member nurturing program in place.  The idea is to help maintain interest and desire.  This is particularly important for new members.  You must create value over a long period of time (nurturing).

Planning.   Without proper planning you will end up becoming a victim of circumstances.  Proper planning will allow you to use your and your prospects time most effectively.

Value.   You must show value when making the outbound call and when giving the tour.  Every prospect interaction should include value, be a resource center.

Follow Up.  This is usually the first to go.  Salespeople on average will only follow up on leads 1 ? 3 times and it will take 8 ? 12 follow ups to have success.  Persistence is one of the ways that trust is established.

Now, go show your sales discipline!

]]> How many times have you had a member that wanted to buy a drink or possibly more personal training sessions but had to put it off because they did not have any form of payment with them? ABC?s Card on File feature eliminates this problem.

With Card on File, you can store a member?s credit card information in the DataTrak software so that they will be able to make purchases without the hassle of having to carry their purse or wallet into the club. It?s as simple as pulling up the member in DataTrak, ring up the item being purchased and clicking the Card on File payment option. This runs a real time transaction so you know immediately if the card has been declined or cleared. Have the member sign the receipt and you are done.

With this feature, many clubs have seen their product sales grow as much as 25%. Not only does this increase your sales but it?s also a convenience that is greatly appreciated by your members. For more information about this feature and how to get set up, please contact your Account Executive for details.
