In this episode, our guest Michael Friedman from SupaFitGrow talks about...copywriting! Copywriting is becoming increasingly important in digital marketing. In the past, optimizing ads was the key to success, but now creativity and good copywriting are crucial. Many businesses struggle with copywriting because they don't understand their target audience or how to create an emotional connection. Researching your ideal avatar and understanding their pains, challenges, and goals is essential for effective copywriting. It's also important to differentiate your brand from competitors and have a unique selling proposition (USP). Copywriting should include storytelling and highlight the benefits of your product or service. Testing and learning from data is an ongoing process in copywriting.

If you're a leader or looking to become a leader, one of the most important skills you can develop is the ability to control your state and your emotions. In this episode, I will share some things I've learned over the last few years that have helped me improve this drastically.  

Carry Your Own Bag, Extreme Ownership, Massive Accountability…These are some very wonderful buzzwords that have been floating around the internet over the last few years. But what does it actually mean, and do you really think you live it? Today...you may learn that you don't always do.  

About a decade ago, I was paired up with a mentor that I really didn't like. I didn't like their style. I didn't like how they did business. And yet…I was stuck with them. However, after I asked for a different mentor, something happened that I didn't expect. I wanted to share that story with you on this episode as it was a big lesson for me and I hope it will be for all of you.  

I talked to a business owner today named Kendall, from the barre3 franchise (who I love). She came to me with a challenge around her people saying that prospects are unhappy with the amount of follow-up that they do to get them into the studio. In this episode, I share how that conversation went and why I believe this is OK.  

If you’re feeling overwhelmed or have ever felt overwhelmed, I will help you see this feeling in a way that you’ve never seen before so that it never bogs you down again. 

Over the years, my belief in luck has shifted three times. Is there such a thing as luck? Do you make your luck or maybe… it's something else. Over the last few years, I've landed on it being something else. In this episode, I'll share with you more about what I mean and why I believe this.

If you've owned a gym over the last few years, you've probably recognized that hiring great studio managers has been difficult. One of the roadblocks is the noncompete agreements. As of yesterday, this will no longer be an issue. Check out why and who it affects.

After working with over 3,100 gyms and fitness studios across 11 countries, we’ve gotten to see the inside of many businesses and it’s become clear that there are only 5 key areas where constraints, if present, inevitably lead to plateauing in your business. Facing two major constraints out of these five areas spells trouble; encountering three constraints means you will likely be out of business very soon.

GYM OWNERS: Schedule your FREE strategy call with us today!: https://loudrumor.com/info As a gym owner, there are two crucial numbers you need to keep in mind at all times: LTV and CAC. LTV, or Lifetime Customer Value, measures the total revenue you can expect to earn from a single customer over their entire relationship with your company. By focusing on getting customers to pay more, pay for more things, and pay for longer, you can increase your LTV and ultimately boost your business's profitability. On the other hand, CAC, or Customer Acquisition Cost, measures the total cost of acquiring a single customer. Ideally, you want your CAC to be as low as possible. By running better ads, having stronger offers, improving your sales process, and generating referrals, you can reduce your overall cost to acquire customers. Keeping these two numbers far apart from each other is crucial to the success of your business, so it's important to track them closely and make adjustments as needed.

Person B: Doesn’t play often, needs bumpers to help him knock down pins. He scored a 181. If a random person were to see their scores at the end of the day, they would think these two bowlers were neck and neck when in reality, Person B had a HUGE advantage. This is what it’s like in a good economy: bumpers to help you win. When a recession hits, bumpers come down and this is where we see the true winners come out. In a recession, Person B only scores 50 points. As of July (when this episode was filmed) economists are predicting a recession coming our way. Don’t let your gym be unprepared. In today’s episode we’re talking about how your gym can be successful in the recession. In fact, many big-name companies actually started in a recession.

Your gym is “backed by science.” But you’re probably not using that to your advantage to sell more memberships, increase retention, and enhance your brand…  The top gyms and fitness studios do!

His gym currently pulls in $140K+ in monthly recurring revenue! As his Loud Rumor Account Manager, Alexa Zimmerman details how Mark does it and the 4 reasons his Marketing is FREE each month: #1: Spend More (might sound counterproductive, but listen in around 12:40) #2: Offer “FREE” (give people a taste of what you do: 20:44) #3: Follow a Proven Sales Process (how this gym signed 86 members in one month: 30:30) #4: Get “Qualified” Leads Not “Quality” Leads (this is critical: 33:29) Alexa also dives into which platform your gym should advertise on, how, and how much to spend to go beyond “breaking even” and start profiting.

I explain in this episode! I also run through 6 questions you should ask before every Ad you put out there… Think about this: Do people choose to give Orangetheory a shot because of their logo and everything’s orange? Or, do they give them a shot because they believe they’ll get results?

Watch SOLDIERFIT Sterling’s Brandon Christ deliver a flawless sales script that’s helped him sign 45 new gym members in just 30 days. This is an incredible transformation story. Over a month ago, I spoke with Brandon and he was struggling to get leads on the phone, to get them to book an appointment, and of course, to get them to become paying members. Just 7 days after our first call, he signed 11 new members. Today, he just went on a 30-day streak of a 100% close rate and signed 45 members. Now, how does he take this to the next level? What’s Phase 2 of his transformation? We talk about it in the episode of The GSD Show.

Unfortunately, it’s why 40% of gyms have been forced to close permanently in difficult times. In this episode, Pure Barre owner Susan Rothman is helping gym owners level up into successful entrepreneurs in just 7 easy steps. Susan covers everything from dedicating yourself to learning what it takes to run a business inside and out, what your numbers are, and what your goals should be to hiring the right team, mentors, and being more honest with yourself. Grab a pen and paper, take notes, and watch this one through to the end.

Every fitness studio and independent gym should know and track these 7 KPIs or “Key Performance Indicators.” These 7 KPIs help gym owners know if their Marketing is successful or not. Loud Rumor Marketing Director, Patrick Cundiff explains what to track, trends to look for, and how this ties into ROI (return on investment) and lead generation for your fitness studio—which is what “pays the bills,” as Patrick says.

At a time when most fitness studios are clinging to every dollar and struggling to bring in revenue, The Hot Room Yoga in Indianapolis sold $30,000 in fitness retail last month. In this episode, the owners and Loud Rumor members Michelle and Hye Jin break down their entire strategy and how you can implement it at your studio.

In fact, these are habits I had to learn as well. Before building my business Loud Rumor, friends and family would’ve told you I was “lazy” and an “underachiever.” At the time, they were right. But over time, as I built the leadership habits that I layout in this episode of The GSD Show, I started to change for the better… and so did my business. This is an interview I did with Brent Weaver on his Digital Agency Show that I think will be very valuable for gym owners looking to grow and scale their businesses. Enjoy!

There are a lot of legalities your gym needs to look into and be aware of. Fitness Business Attorney Cory Sterling joins Mike Arce on The GSD Show to help gym owners navigate outdoor workout laws.

I sit down with Wealth Management expert Jim Dew and we talk about the financial strategies studios need to know during difficult times: In this episode, I sit down with Wealth Management expert Jim Dew to help you: Save money on taxes Financially protect your fitness business Build financial reserves now and beyond these difficult times Know how to look at 401(k)s Understand debt and capital AND MORE...  

If your gym is losing more and more business, if you’re experiencing high employee turnover, and if you’re asking yourself, “What do I have to do?” this episode is for you… The number one thing you need to remember is this: People don’t quit businesses. People quit people. People don’t follow businesses. People follow people. In other words, you and your team need to be the type of people that no one wants to quit on. How do you do that? How do you become the fitness studio people are ALL-IN on? I explain how and the steps you can start taking today in this episode.

You've probably heard people say, "It's not who I am," or "I don't want to change who I am." I've learned this is something average people say. But not the wealthy. The truth is, as your business evolves, so must you. As your model changes, as your size changes... so must you. In this episode, "The Personal Evolution Of Any Gym Owner" I’ll help you set goals, change for the better, and grow your fitness studio!

As this virus and information about the virus progress, each state is noticing different responses and different severity of it. As fitness studios, you really want to understand where your state and your community is at, and what conversation they’re having in their heads… The conversation happening in the minds of people in Miami, FL is very different from the conversation happening in the minds of people in Portland, OR. The number of cases are drastically different. It’s important to know your community, to know what’s going on, and to know how best to help your community. Anyone who says “those things aren’t my brand” when it comes to virtual/online training or any of the things we can be doing to draw in revenue, is very confused with their own mission and their WHY. In this episode, I explain why it IS your brand, why it IS your mission, and why it IS important for you to be that person. You’re the only group in the small business sector that can actually do this for people. Enjoy this episode!

Considering Arizona’s stats are pretty on-par or possibly even lower than Texas and Florida, it’s likely we’ll see these two states close as well and possibly some other trailing states. With that said, we’re sticking with what we said back in March that this could go on longer than just the summer. If so, our job is to be prepared. In this episode, I help fitness studios understand how to best prepare for the next wave.

Listen to how some of the most successful fitness studios through this pandemic have not only succeeded through this crisis, but have also learned how to add an additional stream of revenue that they never would’ve had before, and it’s making them extremely profitable.

Unfortunately, it’s a common struggle most studio owners face today. That’s why I brought in my good friend, @LaurelRoach, the owner of @TriFITWellness, to share how she was able to generate over $90,000 in membership contracts from corporate partnerships! The best part?!?! A majority of these memberships are for her online studio, meaning overhead is extremely low, and she doesn’t have to worry about maxing limited capacity at her physical location! Make sure to check out this episode of The GSD Show as Laurel breaks down exactly how she lands corporate deals and explains how fitness studio owners just like you can do the same!

Now that Arizona has reopened fitness studios, listen to how Matt remained in business, as well as thrived during a time that would have put most people out. See how Matt's first week open has gone, and how he's done it from his couch since he can't walk.

Dr. Janice Johnston of Redirect Health: “Fitness Studios should reach out to their members and let them know that they’re cleaning and disinfecting their equipment on a regular basis. And we do know with Coronavirus, you can effectively kill the virus by cleaning properly.” There appears to be more panic around the current strain of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak… which is negatively impacting Fitness Studios as members are choosing to either pause or cancel their memberships until the virus subsides. Is there a way to stop the panic and keep members engaged? We talk about it with Dr. Johnston in this special GSD ALERT episode.

SPENGA Sugar Land Owner Sonal Kulkarni has it in spades… Sonal closed 100 members for her studio in just 30 days… from her HOUSE!?!?! That’s dedication. No remote office while her studio was being built out, no tent in a parking lot, just raw determination. She says a huge part of her success was taking the time to not only educate herself with Loud Rumor Virtual Training but to apply everything she learned DAILY. (Go to: whatislrvt.com to learn more!) In this episode, you’ll learn: 📝 How she closed 100 PRESALE Members in just 30 days 📝 The power of educational platforms like LRVT and applying what you learn to grow your studio 📝 How to develop a never-be-denied mindset, eliminate excuses, and squash objections.

...you have to be one-of-a-kind. “You want it to be so difficult for your competitors to do what you’re doing that by the time they do, you’re already on to the next big idea.” One of the ways Mike’s done this is through Loud Rumor Virtual Training (whatislrvt.com). Here, fitness studio owners can learn the in’s and out’s of every aspect of their business, not just from Mike, but from fitness industry experts from across the world. “It’s a platform unlike any other and no one else is doing it this way.” Mike also dives into how to stand out in a saturated market, why boutique fitness studios are no longer competing with big-box gyms (because they’re now in a separate space), and how community can grow the individual. “You need mentors and success partners in order to grow and win. B-players count points, A-players count wins.” This is an incredible episode from start to finish and thank you so much to Stu and WTF?! Gym Talk for having Mike on and helping us connect with more fitness studios. Enjoy!

How? “People, Process, and Performance,” Griff says. “There’s nothing more important than building genuine emotional connections.” Griff’s story is powerful. He pushed through a terrible injury to participate in athletic competitions. But, how he fell in love with Orangetheory Fitness is something EVERY fitness studio needs to put into practice YESTERDAY! As Griff says, “I don’t remember the details of my first workout at #OTF, but I remember how my trainer made me feel… and that’s critical.

REMEMBER: Marketing isn’t a one-off purchase made for instant gratification. It’s an investment strategy intended to produce long-term fitness studio gains. Just like you wouldn’t promise your clients they’ll achieve all of their goals in one workout, no marketing or advertising agency should ever promise to completely change your business and your life within one month of marketing. Marketing has a long-term impact… whether that impact is positive or negative is determined by your mindset going into it. This episode of The #GSDshow helps you develop the same mindset top fitness studios have for long-term growth and success.

It’s crucial you do what the top fitness studios and businesses like McDonald’s, Apple, Facebook, EVERY top company do to ensure they close more sales than their competition. What is it? Their SALES PROCESS! Creating and documenting a sales process for every step of the #member journey is critical to your success. Think of your fitness studio like a professional football team.... You might have very talented players, but what makes your #sales team successful are the plays you create to score as many points as possible. If your studio is relying on that super charismatic salesperson, or worse, YOUR 24/7 sales effort, then you’re in trouble… If that rockstar salesperson quits and starts selling memberships down the street, will you suffer? Yep. If you get sick or can’t bring new sales into your fitness studio, will it hurt? Yep. The purpose of creating and documenting your #salesprocess is so that the most effective and efficient processes are ALWAYS executed no matter who the players are. THAT is powerful and THAT is something you need to start doing NOW.

The fact is, you're marketing all the time, with everything you do. It may be unintentional marketing, but it's still marketing. So be careful with what you do and how you do it. In this episode, I share how your overall experience in your business can tilt the heads of your visitors when done right. This is important if you want them to tie that "impressed" feeling with you whenever your name comes up. That's much better than having the "like everyone else" feeling, which causes people to price shop and nickel and dime.

However the strategy I'm teaching in this GSD BITE is used by some of the top marketers across the world in order to constantly expand on their ad budget based on the success of their campaigns.
