If your studio is bleeding out right now, it’s not the economy, it’s not your sales skills—it’s a toxic marketing virus that’s spreading fast. And if you’ve been running discount-heavy, low-value offers just to get people through the door, you’ve already been infected.

In this episode, we’re exposing the real reason so many studios are struggling with retention, cash flow, and high churn rates—and exactly how to turn it around before it’s too late.

Why discounting your services is the fastest way to attract low-quality leads

The brutal truth about why your marketing isn’t working (and how to fix it)

The only type of offer that will actually bring in high-value members

How to structure a profitable front-end offer that converts long-term clients

Why most ad agencies are setting studio owners up to fail
