Imagine waking up in the morning, knowing that the majority of the qualified people you will speak to on the phone, will book an appointment and show up, and when they show they’ll buy from you!
When you learn how to inspire people with your expertise, more people will become excited to buy from you, and they’ll do so more often. Sales professionals, business owners and managers are rapidly moving away from the “sales chasing” mentality and are instead adopting a “helping and inspiring” mindset. Let’s discuss what it takes to become a six figure sales success as a fitness business owner.
The challenge for fitness business owners
If you’re a fitness business owner or manager, then chances are high that you’re busy; you feel stressed at certain times; and your ideal work strategy is to always generate maximum income for minimum effort (don’t worry, that’s not lazy, it’s called “working smart”!)
As an owner, there may be times when you and your business feels like a prison; where you’re struggling to grow your memberships; you’re working longer hours but paying yourself less; and despite working in the health industry, your lifestyle is not as healthy as you’d like it to be!
Or, if you’re a manager, then you might find your stress levels are increasing because you’re working harder to sell memberships, but the cancellations are occurring at the same rate, so it doesn’t feel like you’re chalking up the success for your CV you hoped you would.
In today’s competitive business climate, a successful organisation recognises the need to update and streamline their sales processes and techniques in order to stop wasting time and stop losing sales. You may think you need more leads, but if you’re conversion percentages are low then more leads won’t boost your income. Conversion is the key.
Why is conversion the key to sales success?
If conversion percentages are not improved first, attracting more leads will become a costly exercise.
With so much importance riding on sales conversion, ask yourself these three questions: –
- Do you provide easy-to-access, comprehensive skills’ training that is integrated into your staff induction process?
- Do you retrain your existing team members who need their sales skills refreshed in order to boost their sales?
- Do you empower your sales team with a blend of soft skills and updated sales techniques, so your team understands how to inspire and close more often?
The truth is that many businesses cannot answer ‘yes’ to more than one of these questions. Recognising a weakness in your sales skills, training and techniques can be viewed as a strength, so long as you proceed to taking action now, and put in place the tools which will give you and your business the success it seeks.
How to increase conversions in your sales process:
If the passion for what you do still exists, but you feel like the goal posts to succeed have changed, then stop what you’re doing right now.
