In this episode, Daniel and Nate tackle a tough question: how do you keep great teachers from leaving for your competitors—without pricing yourself out of the market?
It’s a dilemma many school owners face. You invest in training, build strong systems, offer excellent client service, and yet, teachers still leave. But is it just about the money, or is there something deeper at play?

In today’s episode, Daniel and Nate tackle a critical (but often overlooked) part of the sales process: the follow-up.

Plus, Daniel shares practical tips on building the habits and tools you need to track and close more sales.
This episode is a must-listen for any school owner who’s ready to finally hit their enrollment targets!

A year and a half ago, Nate and I made an unusual podcast episode.
It wasn’t about something that we learned “on the job”…
It was about an experiment that Nate was running.
Now… just over 80 episodes later… Nate is back to report the good, the bad, and the ugly about the long-term effects of these changes.

In today’s episode, we unpack a special program called a BOOK BLAST that Daniel promoted and sold out throughout the year.
The program was designed to help “blast” through most or ALL of their current method book in a week.
Daniel explains how it works, how he promoted it, and the impact it had on his studio’s revenue and retention.

In my work with school owners, not a week goes by that I’m not doing “owner therapy” with at least one of my clients… and it’s almost always around a troublesome team member.
These situations are never pretty:
The “fixes” for these situations are usually difficult and time consuming.
Better to come up with a pre-emptive solution, so…
In this episode, Nate and Daniel make the case for creating an employee handbook at your school… and give specific examples of what to include from Brooklyn Music Factory’s handbook.
