Alloy Personal Training Business Pricing Strategies For Your Personal Training Business
In this episode, we discuss the best practices around creating an effective pricing strategy for your personal training business.
We talk about whether you should do per session pricing or EFT.
We, at Alloy, have done both. When we opened in 1992, we sold packages of sessions.
The cashflow is much easier to manage when you're charging people by the month. And getting into the monthly payment mode landed us into EFT.
In EFT model, you simply go to the customer, you have one transactional conversation, then you move their relationship immediately to relational and personal. And that's where it should stay forever.
And for lack of better terms, the money just sort of goes away and you never have to think about it again. That's the best relational way to set up personal training as well. And there's never that awkwardness of asking for that sale over and over.
Stay tuned to know more.
