What our Club Owners are saying

• H A, Kansas City

  “You and Megan are part of the reason Greg (my husband) and I feel that this is the year we will make it. Without you two, we feel we would be closed by now.”
  

• T V L, - WI

  "Our leads have increased dramatically; we have a coupon for a free workout attached to the flyer which we found has helped. In August we had 23 new members which I give credit to the Hospital web site and the flyers we have been handing out EVERYWHERE and to anyone who will listen!!! Consistency is the key! Thanks"

  "We are very excited!
  Meeting with businesses and people on a regular basis is the key and all the seeds we are planting now will pay off in the long run.
  Thank you for your support!"

  "We have also been doing the 1000 flyers weekly and it has really done wonders!"
  

• S G, - CA

  "The conference call was great! Very inspiring. Every time I do have a slight thought of " I have a good job, why am I doing this" I have to think back to what brought me to want my own business...........I truly do not want to take a 1 hour train ride into LA for the rest of my life and not know weather or not the budget is going to cut me out this year or next. I think we are still at the tip of the iceberg, and there is huge potential for this business. My business has grown 40% since Megan and Chris visited and went over how we should be selling with my staff. We had a better August than February in terms of sales-- this is huge; those sales scripts and appointments are making a tremendous impact!"

  "I really wanted to Thank You for your selling pep talk with my Staff. The time was well worth the selling training. Laura signed up 11 ladies in that week alone. I have always seen the light at the end but now its alot brighter."

• R R G, - PA

  "I feel that your method of motivation is widely accepted amongst the Slim and Tone club owners and managers. Your ideas and support are greatly appreciated. Your excitement is sometimes the driving force for me personally to stop THINKING ABOUT what it is I should be doing and actually GETTING OUT THERE TO DO IT! Keep those calls coming!

• L B, - AL

  "Just wanted to drop you a note and thank you for all the info you passed along to us this weekend. I've always thought marketing was hard but now I have a better understanding of it. We must be doing something right because I was at a yard sale a few weeks ago and three ladies were talking about that new fitness club that was coming to Killen. Also today when I called to check on handing out flyers this weekend at founder's day, the lady I talked to told me she had heard all about it and couldn't wait to join up. Anyway, thanks again for all your help. I'm sure I'll be talking with you soon."

• T S, - NJ

  "Thought you'd like to know that we signed up 71 new members during the month of July. "

• P R, -MD

  "Your calls are very helpful. I have implemented all your ideas. Keep your ideas coming. We DO appreciate your hard work."

• J S, - AZ

  "Thanks for this last support call....but this just makes me feel so pumped!! We are
  starting our flyers NOW, even though we won't be open for another 2 months (hopefully, we just got our contractor and permits). We already have 2 members signed up (YAY!!)

  I appreciate your help! Thank you so much!!"

• M C, - OR

  "Thanks for the call today; we are always grateful for all
  of your ideas!! Keep them coming, we need your inspiration and support!! It
  also spurs more ideas from club owners as well! We know what we have to do,
  it is just a matter of getting it done as quickly as we desire..\"

• T D,- CO

  "The parade was soooooooooooooooo much fun. I had a blast. I was getting the crowd cheering for my members on the float and we passed out 1000 fliers! We have had 3 new people join since then and phone calls from people wanting more information. So I would say it was a success. And like you said we need to get the awareness level up."

• A D and J B, - CO.

  "Things are great, we had a big open house last weekend, and we signed up 44 members this month between the three clubs. So, we're still pluggin' away!!!"

  "When we decided to launch the Core 4 program in all of our clubs beginning June 1st we took your suggestion on having tiered membership options....reluctantly we also raised our membership fee to a firm $99 (up from $49 which we usually waived...) and added 3 additional membership packages (I have attached a copy of the membership options). Surprisingly, we have found no opposition AT ALL on the $99 fee...people don't even bat an eye at it! As you can see on the membership options document if the prospect signs up on the day they tour on a one year plan we waive 1/2 of the $99 fee, it's a nice incentive and we still collect more than we did before. As far as the plan options we have a Fitness package that includes 3-1/2 hour sessions with a CPT which is becoming our most popular option, we collect an extra $90 ($45 goes to the trainer) and we are finding that after their 3 initial sessions they are buying an 8-12 session package with the trainer....it's much easier to capture them while they are signing up rather than having to re-sell them on training once they are a member. Our second option is the Weight Loss Plan, which I honestly just put in for kicks...I never thought anyone would purchase it. As soon as the option was available we had 3 people immediately want to purchase that plan, my trainer had to call me for instructions on how to sell the package because I hadn't even given any direction to my employees on the process....that plan is generating us some great success stories right off the bat with new members, and again we don't have to re-sell the idea of the program again. So, I highly recommend the tiered pricing and raising the enrollment fee....a Slim and Tone membership is worth the money they invest!!!! Another great selling tool is the new sales script, we have trained our employees with it and require that they use it, we are also setting up club tour appointments now, both are working fabulous...our closing rate is really going up!
  Thanks for all of your help, see you in September!"
