Many gym owners struggle with sales.
That’s supported by the fact that very few gyms have accurate sales metrics. We see a glaring lack of marketing data every year when we prepare our annual “State of the Industry” report.
Without numbers, we don’t have a lot to discuss.
“I’m good at the bench press.”
“Yeah? What’s your max?”
“I don’t track it.”
See what I mean?
Two-Brain gyms are mentored to track and log all key business metrics:
- Revenue.
- Net owner benefit.
- Average revenue per member.
- Client count.
- Length of engagement.
- Lifetime value.
- Leads, set rate, show rate and close rate.
The last line is critical for sales and marketing.
If you have all four numbers, you can analyze your marketing chain and identify weak spots.
Then you will know if your sales numbers are strong or need improvement.
If you don’t have any numbers, your sales system has flaws. Tracking is a key part of selling.
When you finally start tracking sales metrics, you will likely find that one or several parts of your funnel need attention.
That’s excellent: You will know exactly where your problems are, and you can take action.
Here is your clear fix-it plan after you log and review your numbers:
