Strategic Marketing Plans

Creating and capitalizing on effective Advertising Campaigns and promotional in-house programming is a fundamental key to success. Although we would like to think that our referral business will drive the majority of traffic into your center ..... it's not true. If you want to increase sales volumes you'll need to build effective campaigns that take into consideration all aspects of the sales process while remaining focused on its ROI. The compelling ad content that creates an emotional response and a call to action will only be as effective as the systems that track leads and the training of your sales team to close. Increasing the average sale to include other services while building a customer relationship that yields referral business and long-term retention is the end game.

 

• Implementing campaign drivers and goals tied to lead generation and conversion rates with a constant focus on advertising ROI is essential in determining effectiveness. Always remaining focused on maximizing ROI and how it influences operations, sales, and the billing process is key. It's all about lead generation, you need leads to generate tours and sales.

 

• The relationship between marketing sales and operations has to be seamless, each department supports the other. Effective communication with department heads when rolling out a campaign is essential to ensure an easy transition managing the telephone inquiry, walk-in, guest from tour to close. 

 

• Creative solutions for seasonal Campaigns that help offset the summer slowdown, traffic building programs to increase business over the holidays. January promotions that capitalize on New Years' resolution opportunities! Fitness Challenges that impact PT volumes.

Setting Sales Goals and Expectations 

at the club.

 

Creating sales compensation incentives that are tied to production expectations. Tiered Bonus programs and commission programs that ensure a team effort and commitment to paying the price in full in order to exceed expectations. Have you considered TEAM Commissions (group gross) it's powerful when each player has buy-in? The Team or Group gross commission concept is a powerful option it creates an environment of teamwork. A built-in incentive for all participants to help each other become their best. I believe this program can make a significant improvement in the corporate culture and customer responsiveness.

The Membership Sales Process  

Prospective members need to believe they will be successful. You need to gain their trust and be a resource for them providing direction, encouragement, and support. Always with their best interest in mind; if you do that and match the features with the benefits along the way they will join. Educate motivate and inspire them. Remember motivation through education know your product and be able to teach. Sales are the transference of enthusiasm. The only reason they do not join is; they are not confident that they will succeed for whatever reason or they simply need to justify the price. Isolate commitment or price then simply help them rationalize what it is they truly want anyway. To become a member and change the course of their life.
