Pre-qualification techniques are critical to client retention and frankly, to your sanity. In this episode I walk you through each step of the sales funnel to help you implement techniques to pre-qualify your leads. I'm talking marketing designed to attract and repel, asking specific questions to align clients with your values, and how to spot the red flags before you sign up to coach someone. Because let me tell you, working with the right roster of people, who want to work with YOU specifically, and are ready to hold themselves accountable makes all the difference.

This episode is for you if you are

…wasting time on calls with people who never seem to come through

…tired of coaching clients who aren't putting in the work outside your sessions to see results

…ready to walk away from coaching ANYONE and everyone because of your scarcity mindset

When you finally take the leap and leave your corporate gym job there are some things you simply should leave under the [insert-color] lights. Daily template for all of your clients? Leave it. Selling 5 and 10-packs? Leave it! In this week's episode my trainer Nick Graziano (@nickgrazfitness) joins me to talk about building relationships with your clients for the long-haul, and I'm talking DECADES people. It's not just about authenticity and personalization (even though that's a BIG part), it's also about education for your clients and yourself. Even trainers need trainers. Nick gives us the keys to client retention as an elite personal trainer who left his gym job and took the right skills with him.

This episode is for you if you are…

…wondering why your "fat-burning workout" reel is only reeling in short-term clients

…trying to use that 10-pack method from your gym job as you start signing your own clients

…ready to create your own stability with clients who are in it for the long-haul

After years riding a bicycle to nowhere in a dark room, when the gyms shut down, Jordan Ciminelli (@jordanciminelli) needed to figure shit out, and fast. She has taken that DIY entrepreneurial mindset and created her own stability, by launching The Tempo Club (@thetempoclub). This week I chatted with Jordan about what it takes to execute your unique vision, why it's critical to have people in your corner to hold you accountable, and how being authentic will resonate with the right people. And of course we get a little sidetracked talking about Taylor Swift Sundays and how to tackle Soul Cycle because you know I'm not a cardio girly. ✌️

This episode is for you if you are…

…still waiting for the right moment to bring your unique vision to life

…not sure if you have what it takes to launch your own business (spoiler alert: you do!)

…looking for a reminder that the only person who can do it is you

Have you been watering the right things? And by that I mean, are you being INTENTIONAL with your time, energy, and money in order to hit your goals? When I started this podcast my promise was to be 100% honest with you. I know you're looking for the secret sauce to hit your numbers, so tune in to hear why there's HONESTLY no magic formula, but there are ways to achieve big things and MAKE SH*T HAPPEN (like taking three whole weeks off or hitting a half million year). Today we're going to go through my 2023 so far and how I've hit or missed my goals: big wins, pivots, and all.

This episode is for you if…

…you're ready for an accountability check in on your 2023 goals

…you need a reminder that behind every fit-fluencer is a ton of behind-the-scenes work and sometimes a bunch of bullshit to make "it" look easy

…you're not sure how to measure goals like authenticity, intentionality, or prioritization

…you're already dreading the slow season at the end of the year but need a wake up call to get your sh*t together NOW

Even if you aren't where you want to be, you're still on your way there. Fellow-former-front-desker Flora Lindsay (@florabased) joins me on the podcast to chat about the skills we learned from fitness studios that still help us with clients and running our own businesses today. Flora shares more about her journey into fitness (spoiler alert: she didn't grow up playing sports) and why leading with empathy creates long-term relationships with her clients. Listen in to hear why knowing what you offer takes work, like asking the difficult questions, preparing for objections, and doing a self-audit of your skills.

...you believe in the importance of authenticity and building a rapport with clients

...you keep finding clients that seem to want to hit their goals but are lacking the will
