Quotes:

“Just let people know they will get an email if they’re purchasing on the phone or in person. Going into a fitness studio is intimidating, that’s what I always found. I always used to say [that] getting through the doors is the hardest thing, and once they get through those doors, I’ll take care of them and they’re going to be good.” [Michael, 13:35] 

“I know many studios that are willing to switch studio software, but they are not willing to give up their marketing suites.” [Michael, 22:00] 

“People come to yoga for some type of change, either mental change, physical change, to be more flexible or to de-stress. People might have been coming for two weeks and get out of the habit a little bit, so you need to kind of remind them why they came.” [Michael, 23:35] 

“If they’re not coming multiple times during the intro offer they will not purchase; they will not become a member.” [Michael, 24:28] 

“Before opening a studio you have to do the research, that there’s an audience that’s going to support what your vision and dream is.” [Michael, 47:30]
