picture-21Hey, Steve here with 20 killer fitness marketing tips for boot camp 2.0

Ya know how ipods were really cool when they first came out, but then the next generation blew tho old one away?

The same holds true with fitness boot camps.

The old model used to be cool, but boot camp 2.0 leaves it in the dust.

And so you can explode YOUR boot camp, and leave your competition in the dust, I've put together 20 killer fitness marketing tips for boot camp 2.0

1. Use Auto Debit - Your not a bill collector or money chaser... Your a fitness professional, and a damned good one.

You'll have way less headaches and end up makeing a whole lot more cash-o-la with auto debit.

2. Find an "indoor" location - Boot camps are popping up EVERYWHERE, and city officials are starting to crack down on "unauthorized" boot camps in public and private parks.

Negotiate to rent space from cheer, gymnastic, dance and karate studios like in the Fit Body Boot Camp model.

Also no more dealing with cold, dark, damp mornings and wet shoes.3

3. Use Referral Tools - Arm your boot camp members with powerful referral tools like the $100 plastic gift cards.

4. Have cool referral incentives - It's EASY to offer killer referral incentives when your boot campers are on auto-debit.  You can reward them with "half off" their next month of boot camp.

I tell my boot campers that they get to train for free if they can bring me 2 sign ups a month 🙂

5. Use long term contracts - Lock your boot camp members in on 12 month auto-debit contracts.  It will hold them accountable and give you financial stability.

6. Penetrate your clients "inner circles" -  You'll be AMAZED by what connections your clients have. Use the questionnaire below

Simple Boot Camp Business Building Tool

One of the BIGGEST lessons I learned from my very first mentor was to know the difference between spending timeffffh "IN" your business VS. "ON" your business.

Definition of  working "IN" your business - Doing things to maintain your business like:

- Training clients
- Buying equipment
- Writing out workouts
- Going over diets
- Printing out materials and forms
- Accounting

Definition of working "ON" your business - Doing things to grow your business and move it forward like:

- Marketing
- Getting Human Billboards
- Prospecting over the phone
- Prospecting by email
- Networking with other businesses to get referrals
- Building relationships with hair dressers to get referrals
- Picking up new clients at your facility

My mentor told me that 99% of business owners DO NOT know the difference between working "IN" their business Vs. Working "ON" their business.

And because of this, they end up spending most, if not ALL of their time "IN" their business.

I spend about 80% of my time working "ON" my business and only about 20% "IN" my business.

But ya know what?

3 Ways To Rapidly Boost Your Boot Camp Memberships

Posted by on October 2, 2009 at 5:20 pm

picture-1I've been testing some boot camp marketing strategies in our "test kitchen", and I discovered a KILLER way to quickly boost your boot camp memberships.

And like 90% of my outta-the-box boot camp marketing tips, it's SIMPLE and doesn't cost a dame dimn!

So here it is...

I call it the 21 Day Rapid Fat Loss Program.

And I'm gonna show ya 3 ways you can use it to get a whole bunch of new boot camp members.

But first, here's how it works.

The program - It's a 21 day boot camp, where the member can come unlimeted times.  This program can be run at the same time as your "regular" program.

In other words, you can mix the "21 day rapid fat loss" members with your current "regular" members.

You will also provide a 21 day accelerated results eating program.

The cost - $97 buck-a-roos

The up-sell - When the 21 day rapid fat loss client comes in on the first day you say this...

"Let's go a head and upgrade you to an additional 7 days for free, making it a "28" Day Rapid fat Loss program for the same price of $97.  But I would like you to sign up for my "regular" month-to-month (auto debit) program.

If after the 28 days, you want to stay on board, then do nothing and we'll start automatically debiting you at our regular price...

If for ANY reason you want to cancel, just let me know within the first 28 days and their will be no hard feelings

Fair enough?

(So you just took a $97 dollar prospect, and converted them to a regular paying client on auto-debit.)

...Ok, now here are three ways to get your 21 Day Rapid Fat Loss clients.
