KEY TAKEAWAYS

Marketing is all about quality, it needs to portray the right message to your audience, and you must keep it fun, up-to-date and sexy to attract customers constantly.
- Systems - Set your business up as if you were a franchise because franchises run off of the power of systems. This creates consistency which breeds results and gives you freedom and clarity in order to run your business successfully.
- Great Classes - Create a progressive system that always give the student something to work towards. Make sure they’re fun, quality and keep evolving to ensure your students are enthused. This will help your customer retention.
- Great Service - Serve your customers in the best way possible and make the school as fun and enthusiastic as possible. Your students are not just a number, you need to keep it personal and love your students.
- Great Staff - Having great staff and instructors will transform your business. You can serve your customers better and super-charge your school simply by having the right people around you. Employ the power team that will help your school grow and achieve your vision and values.
