Word-of-mouth Isn't Enough

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve heard coaches and club managers say something along the lines of “word-of-mouth is the only marketing we need”. Well, I think they’re wrong. In fact, unless they’re in the 1% of clubs and coaches in the world, they should definitely be proactive with their marketing and not rely on word-of-mouth alone. In this episode I explain exactly why word-of-mouth isn’t enough and what you should be doing instead.

Player Lifetime Value

How much is each player worth to you and your tennis coaching programme or club?And I don't mean from a sentimental or subjective point of view. I mean from an objective $ or £ perspective. Building strong, longstanding relationships with players is key for the success of any tennis club or coaching business. And the best objective measure of how successful you are at building these types of relationships is customer lifetime value. In this episode I explain what customer lifetime value is, why it's important to track it and how to actually calculate it.

In our industry, player retention is key. We all know this and work towards keeping people in the sport for life and ideally at our clubs and coaching programmes for years or even decades.

I will show you how easy it is to measure customer retention by measuring two simple metrics: customer churn and average customer lifespan.
