How can you get more clients and have more sales... all on Auto-Pilot?

This episode I bring on Barry Moore (legend) to deep dive with me in how Marketing Automation for your fitness business will take your profits, sales and business building ease to a new level.

Step by step we dissect how email marketing, and the tech-tools that scare so many people can be easily used and put into your business to boom growth straight away.

Do you get results with your clients...?

After having over 1000 trainers get back to me with their biggest frustrations, I keep hearing the same thing over and over.

And you could be thinking the same...

"I just need to get more leads in front of me and I can show them the value I can give them. And I would get more clients."

And there is no doubt about it. Facebook ads are amazing...

But, there is a HUGE trap that many health professionals are getting caught up in. And losing money, fast!

Have you thought about running fitness retreats before?

…Want to add 10’s of $1000s to your profits by delivering a top tier experience that transforms your clients bodies and lives.

I bring on Candice Strybos that will walk you through the major steps for you to add Fitness Retreats into your business, or make it your sole focus.

Step by step you are going to have the proven insights that are working for trainers, coaches and entrepreneurs world wide.

This is a snippet of the email Shane sent me…

“Long story short my $6000 bought me:

2 x 10 minute phone calls with this dude.

Access to a Facebook group with others doing the course.

An overwhelming amount of information all neatly packaged in one place.

Optional weekly phone calls with cheerleaders (not actionable advice or help).

Let’s cut the fluff…

You want more leads, or more clients, or more money—yeah?

But, WHY do you not already have it..?

Do you have a “mindset” problem..?

OR

Do you have a “Model” problem..?

In this episode, we quickly cover how we figure out “what's missing”.

And give you a roadmap to actually doing that work that builds your ultimate lifestyle business.

So, if you’re like most personal trainers...  

You know the pain of the “time-for-money” trap.

It’s why I put Tony Robbins quote in my book ‘Your First 100 Clients’.

“Don’t sell your time for money, it’s the worst trade in the world”.

You’re selling your most precious asset, that you can NEVER get back… Your time.

As personal trainers or coaches we were sold a LIE.

You get certified, you get 1-on-1 clients and then what…

For me, I was ‘successful’ from the outside looking in.

I had a full book of clients, charging a premium and had trainers working for me.

But, I was dying on the inside.

I was ‘stuck” in the gym having to see clients from early morning to night 6-days a week.

Any time I wanted to have time off, go on holidays, was sick, spend time with my family, or wanted to travel… I lost money.

This episode we pull apart the exact method in how you move from the “Old PT Model” to the new generation coach that can have a bigger impact AND earn more money whilst living the lifestyle you want.

Sounds like BS… Or “too good to be true”.

I don’t blame you… We thought the same thing.  That’s why we show you on the inside how multiple coaches are doing it all right now.

So, last week I got asked a really interesting question..

If i had to start all over again with business… What would I do differently?

This got me thinking as it kept coming back to a few key lessons that could have saved me a lot of wasted time, energy and money.

And NO…

I’m not going to say; “it’s all a part of my journey - I had to fail and get back up again multiple times”.

This is exactly how I would (and what I tell my members) to do to explode their business quickly and when wanting a fast injection of cash and clients to ease the stress.

Let’s be brutally honest… There’s a thousand and one ways that you COULD be:

 

Attracting new leads.

 

Selling and signing on new clients.

 

Building your business to earn you more money.

 

However, if you’re like most coaches…

 

You’re confused about which tactics, strategies and methods YOU should be doing.

 

Or, even worse, you’re frustrated from working so hard and doing so much… But not seeing the positive results.

 

This is where I see a lot of trainers and coaches fall into the “Successful Seminar Junkie”.

 

They are successful at confusing and taking in so much information…

 

But, there’s very little “doing”… And even less tangible results to show from all the learning.

 

You’ve listened to the podcasts.

 

You’ve watched the videos.

 

You’ve read the books and blogs.

 

NOW… It’s time to simply use what's working.

 

See, the only reason you see my clients in the Coaches Cartel get such epic results… Is because they do LESS.

 

Most of the time when a trainer or coach comes onboard, we need to delete or pause 80% of what they are working so hard on.

 

So, the 3 easiest next steps for you to grow your coaching business is to…

 

1 - Design your “Return On Cartel”.

 

Create the “on boarding” of your coaching program to shortcut your clients to their first checkpoint goal.

 

2 - Measure and Report your key metrics.

 

Look at your key numbers at least once a week, and report them so you have important accountability.

 

3 - Prioritise and Eliminate projects.

 

Decide on the most important 3-5 projects that you NEED to complete in the next 90-days, that will move your business forward the fastest.

I just got off a Strategy Call with a coach applying to join the Coaches Cartel. (We’ll call him Jeff)...

I have not ever been so deeply infuriated and annoyed after a 15 minute phone call in my life. So infuriated, in fact - I sat down to shoot this video, create this Facebook Ad, and pay $1.47 for you to see it right now.

Absolutely mind-blowing and downright delusional. If you learn nothing else today, learn this: do not ever be like Jeff.

If we haven’t met yet - my name is Josh Hamilton. I’m the Head Strategy Coach and co-founder at the Coaches Cartel.

You could call me the “gatekeeper”, responsible for constructing the initial 3 year business strategy for every one of our members. In fact, I’ve spoken to over 500 coaches in the past 5 months alone.

Of those 500 calls, Jeff stands above the rest as a shining, glorious beacon of exactly what NOT to do. The antithesis to every irrefutable principle in business, in any industry. I need you to pay attention and use this as a learning opportunity - because if you’re making the same mistakes he is - I can promise you one thing: utter and imminent failure.

Watch the video below for a detailed rant on the exact conversation that took place just two hours ago.

In short, my fury has been summoned due to two things:

1)Completely delusional expectations of what he could achieve inside the next 6-8 months. Jeff has been coaching people for two years. He’s bringing in about $1100 in revenue per month, working out of 3 gyms, and harboring 2 online clients. $1100 in revenue - not profit. Cool - totally fine. Everyone starts somewhere.

What blew my socks off was his expected target of hitting $100K PER MONTH inside the next 6-8 months. Hit justification was “all of the business books I read tell me to set unrealistic goals, but I think this is realistic, I see other people on the internet doing it.”

Someone needs to be slapped. Hard.

2)Utter refusal to accept advice, feedback or suggestions from someone who’s currently doing what he’s questing to do (me). Positively baffling. Why book in a Strategy Call in the first place?

Any point I brought up to gently shed light on his state of delusion was stubbornly shot down.

Which, in turn, led to me unleashing one hell of a rant. Again - watch the video.

On the inside, we dive deep every week with posts, livestreams and in-depth content to help you AVOID the mistakes Jeff is making, and master:

Your ideal Business Model
Your Lead Generation System
How to convert clients on autopilot
Deliver world class coaching to the clients who NEED you around the world
Break free of the “Old PT Model”l and lifestyle, replacing it with the income and lifestyle you crave.

It’s free to join - but there is a catch.

To be accepted,you MUST engage, ask questions, and legitimately be on a mission to impact the world with your skills as a coach.

This isn’t about e-books, info products or pedalling the latest fat-burner. It’s not about “insta-fame” ora glorified popularity contest.

It’s a community and movement that builds lasting, leveraged, profitable businesses while living up to your full potential as a coach.

If you’re good with that - click the link below to join, and I’ll see you on the inside.

P.s. Please, I beg of you one last time - don’t be like Jeff.

To become a successful Personal Trainer, we’re told…

Get certified
Get 1-1 clients.
Charge more for your sessions

… Then what?

In 2014, I did all of this and I was “successful” from the outside looking in… But it was a lie.

I was stuck in the “time-for-money” trap and had no freedom.

That’s why I want to share with you the 5 most popular business models our clients are switching over to.

As the “Old Personal Training Model” goes like this…

30 sessions a week at $70 a session = $2,100 a week.

The “New Generation Coach Model” goes like this…

There’s actually 5 easy options you can choose from.

Hybrid Coaching: This is how you can easily separate yourself from other 1-1 trainers, and give more value to your clients. Being able to give your clients what they need in your face-to-face sessions, and then coaching them with online contact-points.

30 clients X $300 a month = $9,000 a month / $108,000 a year.

Advantage: It’s only taking you 30 sessions in the entire month to earn more money, compared to the 120 sessions with the ‘Old Model’. This means you’re earning more money, with only a 1/4 of the time.

Online Coaching: This is how you can bring on high-ticket coaching clients, that most trainers prefer. As you are working with the type of clients you love to work with, and can earn more money than the old model by working anywhere in the world.

30 Online Clients X $300 a month = $9,000 a month / $108,000 a year.

Advantage: The first advantage most coaches get when moving into this model is they are no longer in a gym, and can coach their clients from anywhere in the world.

Hybrid + Online Coaching: This is the most common model current face-to-face trainers are choosing. As you still get to see clients in person, and do the work you love, however now you’re earning over double the income with less hours than the ‘Old Model’.

30 Online Clients & 30 Face-to-Face Clients = $18,000 a month / $216,000 a year.

Advantage: The beauty about this model, and why so many of our clients have moved into this model is that they still have so much free time during the week, yet their income has exploded where financial stress is gone.

Online Membership: Online group coaching and membership sites are a grea way to help more people and give you a strong recurring income stream. This is where your income is not tied to how much work you put in.

500 members @ $50 a month = $25,000 a month / $300,000 a year.

Advantage: This is truely stepping out of the “time-for-money” trap whilst not needed to have a team underneath you. Most of our clients that choose this model are only working 10-20 hours a week on this, as then you create someone thing once, its infinitely for all new members.

Online Coaching + Membership: This is the model most experienced coaches choose. Not only because the earnings potential is highest, but also because it allows you to have high-end coaching as well.

30 Online Clients & 500 Membership Members = $34,000 a month / $408,000 a year.

Advantage: You’re able to have high-ticket coaching that allows you to have personal contact with clients, but also can serve many more people with the membership that might have been the people that couldn’t afford the high-ticket coaching. You’re earnings potential is high, and you’ve created your business around the freedom you want.

ADVANCED NEXT STEP:

So I’ve taken you 5 different options that allows you to earn more money, and work less.

However, to true freedom is when you can walk away from your business and it still work and bring in money into your bank account.

This means that growing a team is needed, and I want to walk you through how your business model and earnings can change with this.

For example, lets take Bruno:

He’s just taken on his first coach, and has an assistant working with me. He’s be able to go from 40 clients to now 100 clients.

His earnings wen’t from $16,000 a month to now, $40,000 a month by bringing on a coach and an assistant.

BUT… his work time has gone from a full workweek, to now only 5 hours of coaching time a week.
