Following last week’s show about the membership model in Equinox Health Clubs (and the profit opportunities they are missing), this week we discuss similar businesses, and how to effectively incorporate continuity in this system. Gary discusses joining a whiskey club, while Chris talks about Amazon and how other companies are realizing the potential of ongoing sales, reaching the conclusion that companies just need to do it!

We also challenge Gary’s unwillingness to buy a helmet, and make a call to a special someone to help persuade him to get one after all of his accidents. This week’s show gives you tips and tools on improving your business with plenty of banter in-between!

Doubling sales without new customers?

On this today's show, we discuss a few some simple tools and processes that can double sales for a business in the gym industry. We use the gym we go to every day - Equinox in Los Angeles, as our case study example. Without increasing foot traffic or growing a bigger customer following, we break down some simple steps and ideas that would completely transform the sales of an Equinox (or any gym for that matter) using the customer base that already exists. Challenge yourself to take these tools and tips, and think how it could be applied to other businesses in different industries.

In addition, the show includes some special features on ‘Amazing Moments In Business’ with comedian Daniel Z Barber and ‘Millennial Work Problems’ with Andy Pifko and Molly Schreiber.
