1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.120
But when they let us go back to business and open our doors

2
00:00:03.840 --> 00:00:08.680
You're going to open your doors and I think a lot a lot fewer people are gonna come back than you think

3
00:00:09.400 --> 00:00:13.280
Welcome to the gym secrets podcast where you talk about how to get more customers how to make more

4
00:00:13.280 --> 00:00:18.080
Per customer and how to keep them longer and the many failures and lessons that we have learned along the way

5
00:00:18.080 --> 00:00:20.080
I hope you enjoy and subscribe

6
00:00:22.040 --> 00:00:26.680
Good morning everyone have one day. I hope you guys are had a good restful weekend or maybe not

7
00:00:26.680 --> 00:00:30.720
Hope you were not resting at all into selling tons of people on remote fitness over the weekend

8
00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:32.640
And hopefully you were

9
00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:35.240
But if you were not then this message is for you

10
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:38.640
So I'm calling this deal shit moment. I was having a conversation with a friend of mine

11
00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:45.720
Who's in the same space as us and he was talking to me about some of the beliefs that he's getting over the phone

12
00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:50.600
With some of the gym owners that he's talking to etc. And it was kind of interesting

13
00:00:51.360 --> 00:00:54.120
Because he was saying that you know these things change week to week

14
00:00:55.120 --> 00:00:59.040
But he said right now everyone's in denial phase. He said right now they're in the phase of

15
00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:09.280
Of I'm gonna hold out. I think I can wait a couple more weeks for this to be over and I guess I'm here to say that I don't think that's gonna work out for you

16
00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:16.120
And here's here's why I don't think sitting and waiting is going to work out for you and hoping that

17
00:01:17.240 --> 00:01:19.400
When you open your gym, it's gonna work out

18
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:25.720
I'm calling this the oh shit moment because right now. I think that there's still a certain sense of hope, right?

19
00:01:25.720 --> 00:01:31.360
I think that when they turn the lights back on when they turn the economy back on when they let gyms back

20
00:01:31.360 --> 00:01:35.560
Which by the way will be last but when they let us go back to business and open our doors

21
00:01:36.320 --> 00:01:41.200
You're going to open your doors and I think a lot a lot fewer people are gonna come back than you think

22
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:48.520
And I think that what's gonna happen is gonna be a slower recovery than most people anticipate because people are still weary etc

23
00:01:49.520 --> 00:01:52.800
And I think some people will just like always

24
00:01:53.440 --> 00:01:57.200
Like there's a reason the on-demand economy is the on-demand economy, right?

25
00:01:57.520 --> 00:02:00.640
Everyone thought that people I was a little it's so funny

26
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:05.200
I had an internet troll yesterday or two days ago who commented on an ad and literally was just saying stupid things

27
00:02:05.520 --> 00:02:08.880
Like stupid like trying to be smart, but saying stupid things

28
00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:15.200
And he was like as soon as online fitness as soon as the gyms go back up all this online fitness stuff is gonna go away and I was like

29
00:02:15.600 --> 00:02:20.640
Really you think that people are just going to choose a less convenient option after they come back

30
00:02:20.640 --> 00:02:25.320
He's like well people really value the in-person, you know blah blah blah blah, right?

31
00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:30.320
People said the exact same thing about blockbuster against

32
00:02:31.320 --> 00:02:36.560
Netflix they're like the CEO is a blockbuster because it's so easy to rationalize our

33
00:02:37.320 --> 00:02:40.040
Like human beings don't want to think of back-case scenarios

34
00:02:40.040 --> 00:02:43.400
And so we rationalize that we don't need to change right and so

35
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:47.800
Blockbuster executives when they're like hey, are you concerned about this online streaming stuff?

36
00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:50.120
They were like no people will always value

37
00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:57.160
Making a night making an evening going and picking it, you know picking out their movie walking inside and

38
00:02:57.320 --> 00:03:02.640
Getting their candy like it's become an experience and so we think that people will continue to value this experience

39
00:03:03.040 --> 00:03:10.040
Guess what they were fucking wrong people would rather just click on the couch and do nothing right is the experience of being at your couch

40
00:03:10.440 --> 00:03:13.400
Better than the experience of shopping at blockbuster. I would say no

41
00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:15.720
I've I've really missed blockbuster a lot of times

42
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:21.960
But I didn't miss enough to not use Netflix or use Netflix way more right and so the reality is that people will always choose their

43
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:29.240
Convenience and I think what happened very like recently or currently right now is that a huge piece of the marketplace that never

44
00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:34.360
Otherwise would have tried online training or maybe would have in the next decade

45
00:03:34.440 --> 00:03:41.120
It took all of the remote services and dropped it 10 years into the future in terms of mass adoption. It was forced adoption

46
00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:49.000
All right, and so I think a large percentage of people are going to say a larger than most young owners anticipate are going to stay in a remote setting

47
00:03:49.200 --> 00:03:56.520
Right, I think a lot of people are still like their jobs. Here's the other's ocean moment is that people some of the companies that did layoffs may not

48
00:03:56.520 --> 00:04:02.320
Rehire everyone right because the demand is not going to be what it was at the single greatest moment in economic history

49
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:06.720
You know me like the best economy ever that happened before this and so

50
00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:13.600
Just like the oh shit moment is going to be when you turn the lights on and people don't show up right which

51
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:18.560
Transparently will be great for me because I'm just gonna mark the shit out of the gyms that want to work with us because like

52
00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:24.560
That will be when marketing is more important than ever because you're going to have to differentiate and get your name out there more than anyone else's right

53
00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:31.840
But let's rewind the clock real quick. What do you need to do now? Right? What do you need to do now because the oh shit moment will come

54
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:37.600
Now some people have have stronger communities than others right and I always want to put my disclaimer for good operators

55
00:04:37.840 --> 00:04:43.920
If you're an amazing operator you haven't lost anyone then you'll probably recover better than people who have lost people right because you have a stronger community

56
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:46.080
You have more bought in coaches you have a better culture etc. Right

57
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:49.920
But what should you do now?

58
00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:54.080
So it is my belief and just looking at the math. I'm going to do this big presentation for Jim Lawrence. Don't worry

59
00:04:54.640 --> 00:04:56.640
I did a huge statistical model looking at

60
00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:02.800
The difference between ROI on remote versus ROI in person and

61
00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:08.240
The question is whether or not you want to be a business owner or a gym owner and that's a very real question

62
00:05:08.400 --> 00:05:10.560
Like super super real. That's a personal question right

63
00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:16.400
But if you're in this to maximize making money because I've had tons of gyms who flew out during our VIP days and said

64
00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:21.680
Alex owner making money dollars a year and I said it's not gonna happen in one gym right now

65
00:05:22.880 --> 00:05:26.320
Talking heads of gurus will be like you can totally like show me the fucking bank statement

66
00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:29.040
All right, and then I'll and then I'll believe you right but no

67
00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:32.480
I like it's not from one facility unless you have a massive

68
00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:35.280
Massive facility and typically group training

69
00:05:35.280 --> 00:05:41.200
First training set will be only a piece of a part of that right like if you have six thousand members paying a hundred dollars a month

70
00:05:41.200 --> 00:05:43.840
Like lifetime then sure you can make a million dollars a year right

71
00:05:43.840 --> 00:05:48.800
But most people didn't invest five million dollars into their build out right so it's understanding relative scope

72
00:05:49.200 --> 00:05:51.760
Okay, so in my belief

73
00:05:51.840 --> 00:05:58.240
There's no way better than right now to for the best operators to be able to build a million dollar income

74
00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:01.840
business two three four million dollar top line business because

75
00:06:02.880 --> 00:06:10.080
One we're we're marketing a 25 mile radius and seeing zero degrees in sales percentages. All right, number one

76
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:15.520
Number two our remote gyms right now are closing a higher percentage of leads than they did in person

77
00:06:15.840 --> 00:06:19.600
That's a function of one major thing is that they're getting 40% of their leads

78
00:06:20.080 --> 00:06:22.720
Onto it into a sales conversation compared to

79
00:06:23.280 --> 00:06:26.560
20% you know, whatever they were doing before all right

80
00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:30.000
So they have twice as many at bats and so even if they're not as good on the phone

81
00:06:30.080 --> 00:06:33.840
They're not twice as bad over the phone right and so they're a little if you look at right now

82
00:06:33.840 --> 00:06:40.240
The average closing percentage to 29% so they're closing 29% over the phone. They were closing 42% in person

83
00:06:40.400 --> 00:06:44.240
All right, but if you get twice as many at bats you actually still net more sales and so

84
00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:50.240
Number one you can have a bigger geographic radius so the many people that I've hawked to is like I want to have a bigger impact

85
00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:54.080
Here's how you have a bigger impact you can go remote and help people are not in your neighborhood

86
00:06:54.480 --> 00:07:01.120
Number two lead costs are cheaper not because of the adds the add impressions and stuff because that's temporary right

87
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:08.160
We've already seen it go back to normal so the at the cost per impression is has gone 100% back to more normal since two or three weeks ago

88
00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:10.240
All right, people are advertising again

89
00:07:11.200 --> 00:07:15.440
But it's because when you draw from bigger radius you get cheaper leads. That's just period if you run a

90
00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:18.240
An ad nationally. It's this is like

91
00:07:18.320 --> 00:07:24.000
Challenge or whatever you'll get you know 25 cent leads the issue is how do you create trust?

92
00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:31.280
How do you create a sale or trust worthy environment for a lead to opt in and then buy something in the first phone call right and that's where having

93
00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:34.320
I would consider like the semi local appeal

94
00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:41.120
Automatically gives you gives you one or two trust points in your direction which is allowing us to make sales in these first calls

95
00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:46.640
But if we're looking at it purely from a math perspective, which I would urge you to be a business owner and on a gym owner for the moment

96
00:07:47.840 --> 00:07:53.840
Right now our guys are essentially breaking even on the first transaction right now they're used to

97
00:07:54.400 --> 00:07:58.400
Making two to one three to one four to one etc on their first transaction right but

98
00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:05.040
You're limited by your your capacity to fulfill in terms of how many people you can have at each time

99
00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:11.920
Uh, you're limited by your lead flow because let's be real like lead flow of a 25 mile radius is is always going to be higher and cheaper

100
00:08:12.320 --> 00:08:18.000
Than in a 5 mile radius because it's quadratic right so if you have a 5 mile radius and then you go from 5 to 10

101
00:08:18.320 --> 00:08:23.760
You didn't double the amount of people that you saw you pide right so 3.14 or whatever the math is but it's basically like

102
00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:29.920
Let me put in layman's terms if you have a 12 inch pizza and you have a 24 inch pizza a 24 inch pizza is not twice as big as a 12 inch pizza

103
00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:36.640
You can fit like four 12 inch pieces inside of a 24 inch pizza because that's how circles work with with with quadratic expansion

104
00:08:36.640 --> 00:08:40.640
But anyways, um, and so when you go to a 25 mile radius you're talking 10 times

105
00:08:40.800 --> 00:08:45.040
You know, I mean the amount of people that you would be reaching otherwise or 20 or 50 or whatever the math is

106
00:08:45.760 --> 00:08:50.000
And so because of that you can have a much bigger reach help more people

107
00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:54.480
Can see like anybody who's ever started with lead flow that doesn't have to happen anymore

108
00:08:54.480 --> 00:09:00.560
Like you don't have to start with lead flow anymore because it's literally enormous and you pretty much can always get lead flow if your target is big enough

109
00:09:02.640 --> 00:09:07.120
Real quick guys you guys already know that I don't run any ads on this and I don't sell anything

110
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:10.400
And so the only ask that I can ever have if you guys that you help me spread the words

111
00:09:10.400 --> 00:09:15.200
We cannot more entrepreneurs make more money feed their families make better products and have better

112
00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:21.920
Experiences for their employees and customers and the only way we do that is if you can rate and review and share this podcast

113
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:24.560
So the single thing that I have to do is you can just leave review

114
00:09:24.560 --> 00:09:30.320
But take 10 seconds or one type of the thug that it means the absolute will to me and more importantly it may change the world for someone else

115
00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:34.720
All right, and so putting all these things together

116
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:37.600
cheaper leads bigger geographic radius

117
00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:39.600
Consistent lead generation

118
00:09:39.680 --> 00:09:43.040
A consistent 11% of leads closed, which is what we're seeing right now

119
00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:47.040
Which is higher than most people doing person breaking even on the front end and having an 80%

120
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:54.480
Gross margin on the back end like you're talking about spending, you know, right now if if you spend $1500

121
00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:59.280
You'll make $6,000 in front end revenue in 30 days. That's what the math is right. That's the average. All right

122
00:09:59.280 --> 00:10:01.600
That's the average, okay?

123
00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:08.560
$1500 at $6600 is the actual number of upfront cash in the first 30 days for an online business

124
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:12.400
You know me people have tried to start an online business too many online business gurus

125
00:10:12.400 --> 00:10:18.160
There are and the reason they don't have an agency set up or whatever is because they can't guarantee an outcome

126
00:10:18.400 --> 00:10:23.520
Right, they only tow the one or two testimonials that they have of the hundreds of students they have all right

127
00:10:23.760 --> 00:10:25.760
I'm giving you the average numbers

128
00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:27.520
average

129
00:10:27.520 --> 00:10:28.720
average

130
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:29.840
For online

131
00:10:29.840 --> 00:10:36.720
So if you wanted to make a six-figure income, all right, we'll take you 30 days to build a recurring revenue stream if you spend

132
00:10:37.520 --> 00:10:38.320
uh

133
00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:42.480
If you spent $1500 it would take if you spent $1500 you close to 30

134
00:10:42.800 --> 00:10:45.680
39% so let's just bump it to make it conservative

135
00:10:45.680 --> 00:10:48.560
So let if you spent $2,200 in at spend over the first 30 days

136
00:10:49.040 --> 00:10:51.520
You'd be able to have 50 people in your online remote

137
00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:53.280
Business

138
00:10:53.280 --> 00:11:01.840
After you lost 40% for for not going into continuity, all right, so I'm accounting for that that you only convert 60% into continuity at 200 bucks a month

139
00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:04.640
All right, that's a $10,000 a month business

140
00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:06.000
Romum

141
00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:08.000
You can do it in 30 days

142
00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:11.840
Like averages if you're average you can do it in 30 days right now

143
00:11:12.400 --> 00:11:15.920
And so the big question that you have to ask is one in my holding out

144
00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:19.520
For what's going to happen that I don't know about because you don't know it's gonna have

145
00:11:19.520 --> 00:11:20.960
I don't either that's just my guess

146
00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:22.880
But like you don't know what's gonna happen

147
00:11:23.040 --> 00:11:28.000
But what I can tell you is the opportunity is there and so in the next 30 days in the next 60 days

148
00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:33.600
If you wanted to build yourself a six-figure or multi-six figure online income you could do it

149
00:11:34.400 --> 00:11:36.800
I know that a lot of my genders won't do that. They're gonna go back to the gyms

150
00:11:36.800 --> 00:11:41.040
And that's fine. I'm here to serve. I'm here to provide whatever value the community that I have asked for

151
00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:44.000
But if I were an enterprising motherfucker, which I am

152
00:11:44.640 --> 00:11:49.440
I would be strongly considering this it has been very difficult for me to not throw my hat back into the ring

153
00:11:49.920 --> 00:11:54.880
And start selling fitness at large because when I see those types of numbers in terms of acquisition

154
00:11:55.200 --> 00:11:57.200
I was like, hmm

155
00:11:57.280 --> 00:12:00.960
How many sales guys we got and I was like I wonder if I was like I wonder if there's a bunch of gym owners

156
00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:03.200
You went out of business so I could just hire to come sales people

157
00:12:03.760 --> 00:12:07.440
Because when I see that kind of stuff three to one four to one up front

158
00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:12.160
You know what I mean 10 to one at 30 days 10 to one at 60 days

159
00:12:12.960 --> 00:12:16.240
60 days like in gym launch I lose money the first 30 to 60 days

160
00:12:16.800 --> 00:12:19.680
Right and like I've just I just know the math game right

161
00:12:19.680 --> 00:12:23.840
I know some willing to make decisions with math if you are able to make decisions with math right now

162
00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:28.560
And not let your emotions and not let your fear and not let your discomfort around learning a new skill

163
00:12:28.560 --> 00:12:30.880
Which is selling over the phone because this is the only thing you have to do

164
00:12:31.040 --> 00:12:34.080
That's it as long as you acquire that skill set which by the way

165
00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:37.040
We'll set you up better for when you get back to the gym because if you can sell over the phone

166
00:12:37.040 --> 00:12:39.360
You convert a higher percentage of leads always right

167
00:12:40.160 --> 00:12:43.120
If you can just learn that skill you can have in one business

168
00:12:44.720 --> 00:12:46.400
Simple as that right now

169
00:12:46.400 --> 00:12:49.200
And I hope and I think my hunch is

170
00:12:49.760 --> 00:12:56.080
That that buying behavior will not change people will be now the mass market has been introduced to what online training is

171
00:12:56.960 --> 00:13:00.160
Like most people don't even know what it was now they know what it is all right

172
00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:04.800
And so that like you're underestimating how big of a deal it is for them to even recognize that industry

173
00:13:05.040 --> 00:13:09.280
All right, and so one people will now know what online training is number two

174
00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:13.520
They will be comfortable more comfortable buying in a remote setting here. I appreciate over the phone

175
00:13:14.160 --> 00:13:17.360
Yeah, this is after the lights get turned back on because you're like well, I don't want to change things

176
00:13:17.520 --> 00:13:19.920
You know temporarily because something you know when what happens when you go later

177
00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:24.880
What if you have a business that just cash flows later and then you have your gym because many people like

178
00:13:25.440 --> 00:13:26.480
I won't even get into it

179
00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:29.360
But over the phone you would just say yeah, you know when COVID happened

180
00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:33.040
We started doing our our first consults over the phone and it ended up just be more convenient for people

181
00:13:33.040 --> 00:13:34.720
So we just stuck with it anyways

182
00:13:34.720 --> 00:13:40.320
So what's your name? Why'd you click on the ad right like you can just preface the the sale and then everything else flows like normal

183
00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:45.600
Right because this is given us the biggest reason of all time the biggest why am I remote?

184
00:13:45.680 --> 00:13:51.360
Why are you doing this over the phone? Why are we doing this online? It has now given everyone permission to have that reason

185
00:13:51.600 --> 00:13:59.040
That we never had before right and educated like thank you to the government for educating all consumers on online and remote setting fitness

186
00:13:59.440 --> 00:14:00.080
right

187
00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:03.840
Thank you to the news. Thank you to everybody for helping us out all right, so

188
00:14:04.640 --> 00:14:06.320
I sell this to say

189
00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:07.840
I think that

190
00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:11.120
For everyone who's who's holding out and waiting. I don't think that's a smart decision

191
00:14:11.520 --> 00:14:14.160
Um, I don't want to be right but I think I probably will be

192
00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:18.000
Um, I think a lot of people are going to turn the lights back on and a lot of people aren't gonna come back right

193
00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:21.600
Think of this like a vacation. It's like all these people are like, you know what actually

194
00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:23.760
I'm I'm gonna keep doing things at home or you know

195
00:14:23.760 --> 00:14:26.640
It's actually kind of more convenient for me to just kind of do it on my own schedule

196
00:14:26.880 --> 00:14:29.040
Instead of having to go there and come back shower all that stuff

197
00:14:29.040 --> 00:14:33.840
There's just kind of easier for me because convenience and speed always win with humans

198
00:14:34.560 --> 00:14:38.240
Always you have to always bet on convenience because we are lazy

199
00:14:38.880 --> 00:14:41.920
Right and especially what it comes to fitness all right

200
00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:43.360
And so it's like well

201
00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:48.320
That's why and that's why many people can't market outside of five more radius because people are too lazy to drive further

202
00:14:48.800 --> 00:14:51.680
Right, they're too lazy. You're like, but our gym's so great

203
00:14:51.680 --> 00:14:54.080
It's like yeah, but they're gonna choose a shit of your gym that's close to them

204
00:14:54.640 --> 00:14:59.040
Just being real right and so if you can take the service to them

205
00:14:59.120 --> 00:15:01.600
Which we now have the opportunity to learn the skill set to do that

206
00:15:01.680 --> 00:15:07.280
You can by the time this thing turns back on probably have more recurring profit profit income than you did before this

207
00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:10.720
Um, but it's for the people who want to win and who want to take action

208
00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:15.280
Otherwise if you're just gonna wait totally cool will help you wouldn't want to come back because we do that too

209
00:15:16.400 --> 00:15:18.560
But that's just my that's my two cents right now

210
00:15:18.560 --> 00:15:21.600
And I know that whenever I talk about online it's always polarizing

211
00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:25.040
But I have a really hard time not speaking my mind about something that I think is more profitable

212
00:15:25.600 --> 00:15:28.960
And I think it's lower risk and I think in the post corona economy

213
00:15:29.920 --> 00:15:36.080
The businesses that will win are the ones that have lower overhead and have higher margins and have a higher ability to reach customers

214
00:15:36.080 --> 00:15:41.840
Where they're at and all of those boxes get checked and then you get all the added bonus benefits that I said earlier

215
00:15:42.160 --> 00:15:45.200
Virtually unlimited lead flow cheaper leads bigger radius

216
00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:52.000
Higher profit margin you get all of those things on top of everything I said so anyways. Don't let the your shit moment happen to you

217
00:15:53.760 --> 00:15:55.760
Take action now

218
00:15:55.760 --> 00:16:01.440
Start selling remote. I think it is it is incredibly incredibly incredibly awesome right now

219
00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:08.400
You
