When we aspired to be fitness trainers, it was probably just about being there for the clients, telling them what to do and how, measuring progress every week and coming up with realistic strategies. Then after some personal exposure to the job, we discover that there’s so much more that happen in the process.
Lots of aspects to master in order to achieve a significant return of investment---training, promoting, negotiating, strategizing and even never-ending learning about new ideas.
Something that we encourage our new clients to undergo is our Fitness Marketing program that simplifies the important stages of starting a business.
Below are important Fitterpreneur guidelines that you can follow to make a head start on your own fitness training business.
It’s normal to be unsure of what could be your best-selling asset in the beginning of any business. It won’t hurt if you will try to master more than one skill in the early stages; the worst thing it can do is make you an expert of various diverge skills without a very solid mark in the industry, but the best possibility that can happen is you will find the special skill that you’re actually excellent at.
Next crucial step to take is mastery of your discovered skill. You will sell like crazy once you’re able to make a clear mark in the fitness industry. As a customer, it’s hard to buy something that is not specific to what we need, so make sure that you broadcast with clarity to the world what it is that you offer. After that, constantly promote your specialty.
You are your best product. When you go out in the world to market your business, you’re gonna want to be seen as trustworthy first and foremost. Your marketing must promote credibility in what you offer. Build a clear and solid marketing strategy that will fortify your brand.
The earlier you confirm what service that you are excellent at, the better for your business.
The fitness industry is so vast that clients can easily drown in the process of choosing what program to buy and who to buy from. With clear marketing, you remove confusing obstacles in your potential clients’ path and you make it easier for them to make a decision. Put yourself in front of them with clarity and certainty about your expertise and how you intend to serve them.
Go on social platforms online and provide a clear message to the world. Leverage the various ways you can showcase your expertise and reach millions of potential clients in weeks.
Almost everyone now is a modern customer after we’ve been affected by the modernization of how things are done. Several studies have shown that the time the customers spend on deciding whether to buy a product or not is shortened by the simplicity of the available information and the whole purchase process. The easier the information to understand, the easier it makes for the customer to make a decision. The more complicated the information, the harder it is to keep the customer’s interest. Worse of all, the more difficult the details, the more doubts come to the customer’s mind about the quality and legitimacy of the offer.
When you make an offer, make it as simple and clear as possible. Be straightforward about who you are, what you offer, why they should hire you, and how they can successfully buy your service/product.
To some businesses, limiting the information available to the customer is a good strategy. While that may work, it’s not advisable specially if the competitors are able to provide the same offer as you and they are noisy about their offer. Unknown to you, they are already bagging the attention of your customers while you are waiting for some to get hooked by your small information.
Not to ignore also is the firmness and integrity of your pricing.
While you will constantly feel the need to lower your price in order to attract more customers, think carefully to avoid to do the opposite effect. Show a price that doesn’t compromise your business’s credibility and quality. Provide discounts when necessary (discounts are awesome to the eyes of every customer), but be clear about what and how long the discount is for.
Wouldn’t it be nice if you didn’t have to do the whole process again, instead they just got done automatically?
Small company or big, you must employ some sort of automation in your business. Automation, from the term itself, is automatically processing certain parts of the operation, without a need for human intervention. Parts that always happen in your transactions like writing invoices, introducing customers to your processes, showing program descriptions and more.
In your business, we’re sure that you can think of a couple of your tasks that are repetitive, those that happen more than a few times, if not always. Tasks that are so easy and simple they don’t require so much brain effort.
Moreover, automation is also advisable for the complicated processes such as computation, scheduling and management. The sooner you use one, the better it will be for your personal and business performance. This we know so well in Fitterpreneur. You don’t have to do all the hard work. Leave the repetitive tasks to automation systems.
But do you know who else will benefit a lot from automation? You guessed it right: customers. Exercising is already difficult as it is, don’t double the burden by making them go through a long and unorganized process. Automation helps your business give customers a seamless and favourable experience.
