🎙️ Welcome to Courtside Conversations with Emile Koorey

🚀 In this episode, we cover:

✅ Retention rate is the #1 number in your business — it determines how many spots you need to refill each term (and how well you sleep at night)

✅ CAC (cost to acquire a customer) shows why keeping existing customers is free, but replacing lost ones costs real money

✅ 3 ways to boost retention: deliver an exceptional product, survey your best customers, and catch early warning signs with a mid-term NPS survey

Meet Justin, our Little Boomers Basketball franchisee in the Hornsby area.

In this video, he shares his story, why he got into the business, what running his franchise looks like day to day, and the impact it's having on local kids and families.

Little Boomers Basketball helps kids build confidence, coordination and a love of the game in a fun, supportive environment.

Subscribe for more franchisee stories and behind-the-scenes of building a basketball business.

In this live Q&A, franchise owners across the Little Boomers Basketball network check in on progress, ask real questions, and get coached on what actually moves the needle.

We check in with a franchisee tracking 48 enrolments toward a 100-enrolment target — with ads, a shopping center promo, and a referral program all running. The biggest shift? She now knows her retention rate off the top of her head. That's the mindset change that separates franchises that grow from those that guess.

We also cover the network-wide phase-out of size 6 basketballs, why size 5 is now the standard for under 12s, and what to do with the balls you already have.

Plus: a look ahead to Allstar Day Queensland with 56–60 kids expected across the network.

Whether you're tracking your first 100 enrolments or fine-tuning your marketing mix, this session is packed with real, practical insights from people doing it right now.

Subscribe for more on franchising, local marketing, and building a thriving kids sports program.

🎙️ Welcome to Courtside Conversations with Emile Koorey

🚀 In this episode, we cover:

✅ Why 8 out of 10 businesses fail — and how a franchise's proven product and infrastructure (systems, marketing funds, back-end tech) can shortcut years of costly trial and error

✅ The power of brand trust — why customers in 2026 choose recognisable names over unknown local businesses, and how that shortens the sales cycle

✅ The real trade-off nobody talks about: control vs. flexibility, and what you give up (and gain) when you buy into a franchise vs. starting solo

Whether you're researching franchise opportunities, looking to become a franchise owner, or comparing franchising with starting a small business, this episode provides practical insights to help you decide.

Meet Carla, our Little Boomers Basketball franchisee in Schofields.

In this video, she shares her story, why she got into the business, what running her franchise looks like day to day, and the impact it's having on local kids and families.

In this video, I host a live Q&A session with franchise owners across the Little Boomers Basketball network.

We cover what happens when a parent on a quarterly subscription wants to upgrade to Gold mid-term — why they pay the three remaining terms (not a fresh four), how they still get the 16% discount, and why cancelling their membership to start fresh is not the right move.

We also cover Allstar Day team structure, why junior comp kids are mixed in with the Mighty Boomers, and an important note on jersey numbers if your team goes above eight players.

Additionally, we also cover what to do when a parent with two kids enrolled without the sibling discount — why the locked-in base rate can't be changed in RMS, and what your options are.

We wrap up with a reminder about keeping RMS as simple as possible — fewer rules, fewer coupon codes, fewer variations — and why the KISS method is the smartest approach for managing your booking system.

Subscribe for more insights on franchising, business growth, and running a successful kids sports program.
