Happy 5-Reps Friday!

 

Last week I attended the Raise the Bar Conference. In today's email I'm sharing my top takeaways.

Here are 2 coaching concepts, 2 business nuggets, and a quote to consider this week.

2 Coaching Concepts

1.

A question all coaches must ask themselves if they want to be great:

How good are you at being more excited about somebody other than yourself?

2.

Most clients begin an exercise routine for extrinsic motivators but they continue for intrinsic ones.

Extrinsic: Looks, performance, health

Intrinsic: Enjoyment, social interaction, community, how it makes them feel

(My takeaway: Build your marketing around extrinsic motivators and your coaching around intrinsic.)

2 Business Nuggets

1.

Reactivate old clients with S.T.I.T.T. (Something To Invite Them Too).

Create an event. Having a reason to reach out makes it easy. Here's your phone script:

"Hey {name}. I was just thinking of you and thought you might want to join us next Thursday. We're hosting a charity workout for the humane society. (It's free, but donations are welcome.) Can I put your name on the list?"

Call them on the phone. I know, crazy concept isn't it?

2.

Follow the 10-5 rule in the gym.

When you're 10 feet from a member, smile and make eye contact.

When you're within 5 feet, verbally greet them.
