Training Programs

Training programmes can enhance your school and help your members grow and develop. In today’s episode of The Martial Arts Business podcast, Gordon explains the value in transforming your classes into programmes and giving your members natural progression.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Changing the way you structure your school, transforming classes into programmes. Programmes give your member a clear route of progression and help them work towards the desired outcome.

  • By investing in beginner, intermediate, and expert level 12 month programmes you will be able to upsell your members onto the next programme and increase how long they stay with you. People seek progression from one programme to the next because it’s the next logical step and helps them grow and develop.

  • A leadership development programme enables your members to grow, and evolve into becoming leaders, teachers, coaches and assistants within your school. Programmes can help to develop many more skills outside of martial arts.

BEST MOMENTS

“Aim to offer 12-month programmes instead of individual classes. Programmes offer development and directly solve the needs of your members”

“Programmes are hugely different to classes and they’re much more powerful.”

“We have three levels of programmes, Kickstarter, the accelerator programme and the black belt development programme.”

“Shifting your focus from classes to programmes changes your philosophy in your school.”

“Having your junior leadership program in place is massively empowering.”
