Do Your Prospects Have That “Certain Quality”?

Remember when you were getting ready to launch your business? The excitement that you felt? All the hard work you had been doing was finally coming to fruition. Your space was setup and ready to go. Your equipment was gleaming. Your programming was the best you had ever crafted. Website up and running – check. Billing system ready to go. Time to open the doors!

And people did show up. And it was all good. Until it wasn’t. 

You see the problem with people showing up is that they are, well, people! With all their quirks, problems, likes and dislikes and personalities. We human beings can just plain be hard to deal with sometimes. 

Which is why it is so important that we focus on getting the “right” kind of people through our doors.

Need #2 on the Sales Level of the Business Hierarchy of Needs is Prospect Attraction

But not just anybody will do. 

The right kind of person for your business doesn’t mean that they are a good or bad person. But they might be a less than ideal fit for you and your gym. Every gym I have ever been in has its own unique personality. I’d fit in some, others not so much. It is crucial that you get this right, or you are going to be wasting a lot of time when it comes to selling. If you are a power-lifting gym, and you are getting a lot of interest from prospects looking for Yoga and Pilates, your messaging needs to be tweaked, just a bit. 🙂

In the beginning we just want bodies in the door, I get it. But as your business grows, you’ll want your message to be laser focused on the clients you serve best, AND the clients that will serve your business best. If your space is high energy, with lots of laughing and smiling and joking around, don’t be afraid to show that personality in your marketing. You’ll get more of those type of people in the door, which will only add to your already rocking place.

Look I know this isn’t a new concept. Client “Avatar’s” have been around forever. That’s not in question.

What IS in question is have YOU done the work to create YOUR ideal client? The client who has that specific need that for who your company is the perfect solution?

When you do, and you craft your marketing so it speaks to that person, you’ll attract the right kind of people to your business, save yourself a lot of time and money, make more sales, and create more profit.

Attracting prospects with that “Certain Quality” matters. We can help.
