  • #154 | The Solutions To All Of Your Problems

    ENROL NOW FOR STUDIO BLOOM HERE!

    In my previous 2 episodes, I’ve shared with you the step by step strategy to secure a constant (and streamlined) flow of new dance students to your studio. I am sharing this with you because it absolutely breaks my heart seeing tired, overworked & stressed dance studio owners (maybe like you) struggling, wondering what is going wrong or whether they will ever feel like they run their business, rather than their business running them.

    Take a listen to find out the secret that many dance studio owners don't know about!

    There are so many courses you can sign up to and I bet a heap of them are awesome. But from what I have seen they are either super expensive 12 month masterminds which is also a strain on your finances or there might be lots of little industry specific ones you could sign up to but just don’t “get” what it takes to run a dance studio. Often then we get into a cycle of sign up to a course, implement what we can, but there is still a heap missing…. So you look for the next thing and the cycle continues.

    I want to put an end to this cycle and give you EVERYTHING you need to know in one course to become a successful dance studio owner and get more students into your studio.

    Studio Bloom is a 12 week comprehensive coaching program with short recorded weekly videos, grab & go templates, practical tasks and easy to implement strategies with 1:1 coaching each and every week to keep you accountable.

    Studio Bloom has been created to help your business flourish. Together we will set the foundations and implement systems and automation to ensure your business is ready to grow. Without a rock solid business & marketing plan, your business will not be prepared for growth in the years to come. Together, we will outline your vision & long term goals for the business to create actionable steps to make those dreams a reality.

    Want to bloom? 🌸

  • #152 | What NOT to do with your new enquiries *the BIGGEST mistake I see DSOs making*

    JOIN THE WAITING LIST FOR STUDIO BLOOM: www.assembledancestudiocoaching.com/studiobloom

    Enrolments open - 29th OCTOBER 2021 6AM!


    In my last podcast, I shared with you the step by step framework to securing an endless amount of new student leads (*hint - it’s all to do with your business plan*). Today I am going to share with you how to convert those leads & enquiries into paying and loyal students.

    But before I tell you the biggest mistake I see, I am going to share a little personal story! Recently my Husband & I have been searching for a new car. He currently drives my first car (a cute little beat up red corolla) & I have a 4wd with temperamental air conditioning (not ideal with an infant in summer in Queensland).

    But it got me thinking, have you ever been to a sales car yard? You won’t forget cause they are generally on you from the minute you walk in! But this is a huge part of their success! Generally the reason that car yards are so successful is they don’t leave you alone to make the sale. I am not trying to say you need to follow your new students around…. But guiding & supporting them through is a sure fire way to convert enquiries to dance students.

    So, my question to you is this - how are you treating every new enquiry that comes through to your studio?

    How are you keeping tabs on everything? Post it notes? Scribbles in your diary? Facebook? Text messages? There are so many different avenues we can receive information through and so many ways we can opt to capture their information. But if there isn’t a clear funnel, people can get missed or lost = less students & revenue.

    Are you guiding them through your website with intentional copy? Or just hoping that the nice pictures will be enough to encourage them to maybe…. Possibly…. hopefully call you?

    That is the biggest mistake I see dance studio owners make with their new leads and enquiries (plus not getting for their email address…. But that is a story for another day).

    If you are listening to this thinking “Oh my gosh! This is me”. Don’t stress! We can FIX IT.

    How?

    In my next podcast, I am going to share with you something you can do to ensure that you are not only attracting the right kind of dance student & converting them, but converting them more often to grow your dance studio.

    You might know me as a podcaster, business coach and dance studio owner. But do you know how I got into the industry? Like so many of you reading, my awesome Mum took me along to my first class at 3 years old and I was hooked.  Once I graduated from school I did what most people from school did, went to university! But it was whilst I was studying (enjoying it, but not loving it) that I got a call one day from my Mum and she mentioned how a cute little hall near our house would be for a dance studio. That’s all it took, one little suggestion and I was obsessed. Fast forward to today and I have now been in the industry for over 15 years! I started my studio at 19 and I would attend conferences and events filled with other dance studio owners or business owners and I had so many people saying to me, “you’re so young”, “too young” or “wow, so young!”. I get it, looking back and now seeing 19 year olds, I was so young! But at the time, it pushed me. To have a successful studio I knew I HAD to work hard, but 24/7?? That’s not what I signed up for!

    Whenever I attended these conferences or events, the one MAJOR topic that kept coming up when I spoke with more experienced DSOs was “I don’t have enough time with my family”... trying to find that work/life balance was a big issue for a lot of DSO’s and at the time, being 19, I didn’t think much of it. I wasn’t planning to have a family of my own at that time so I wasn’t worried it would be an issue for me. That being said I knew I wanted a family in the future and like most DSO’s starting out, I did EVERYTHING myself so I did often think back to those comments from DSO’s struggling to find balance and I wanted to make sure when that time came me and my dance studio were well prepared for me to not be doing everything myself!

    So I started researching, learning & tweaking, trying to figure out what is the best way to build my business processes and systems! I knew you could grow or build a sustainable business with the business steps in your head… you need to take action! So I knuckled down and got to organising, hoping one day, all that hard work would pay off.

    Everything came to a head when I had to take maternity leave early due to family reasons. I had to take a step back from the business and well… I am now in month 4 of maternity leave and everything is running smoothly. I jump in to pay bills and wages and I visit when I like, but aside from that my team run, grow & scale my business without me needing to be there!

    I know what DSOs need to get more time, be in control of their businesses and ultimately grow their student numbers. That is why I started coaching and that is why I created Studio Bloom. If you haven't heard already, I have created a comprehensive 12 week coaching program called Studio Bloom with a 5 step process to really grow your business and watch it flourish!

    • Prepare: Avatars, Goal Setting, Product Ladders & Offers
    • Plan: Pricing, Sales Messaging, Cashflow & Budgeting
    • Nurture: Your Team & Systems
    • Grow: Events, Traffic, Connections & Community
    • Harvest: Automation & a Business Bloom Action Plan
    • Stop being okay with being okay…. It’s time to BLOOM!

      Without a strategic marketing and business plan, you can try a heap of different things and it might get you to your goals eventually, but if you want to take clear, actionable steps to grow (& save your sanity)...This program is for you! On completion of the course, you will walk away with a comprehensive Business Plan that will set you up for success for years to come!

      But you might ask, ‘how does a business plan lead to growth? Stay tuned for next episode!
