Are You Asking?

Earlier, Nick and I had our daily call with our club

Manager Lisa.


Each day we talk about the number of appointments

we have, the sales we're making and a few other club

related topics.


Lisa 'kills it' when it comes to sales. She probably has

the best closing percentage of any gym salesperson

I've seen - and I guess if I were to attribute it something,

I could narrow it down to 3 things:


1. She follows the system. She has scripts for calls

and tours and she follows them. She treats every

sales opportunity with great importance and it

pays off.


2. She hustles. She makes more phone calls than

anyone and is relentless at trying to generate

leads.


3. She asks everyone for referrals. I think this may

be the biggest one of all. We have referral systems

in place and she executes them to a 'T'.


There is no easier sale than a referral. Someone

the prospects know, like and trust recommends our

club because they love what we offer and Lisa

gets a pre-sold guest.


If you're not systematically asking your clients

for referrals, you're really missing out. So far

about 40% of our new members in 2009 have come

from this one source. So, if you'd like more

business...start asking for referrals.


Have a great weekend!
