When we retain, we win!
Retention is one of your most cost effective marketing strategies yet most dance studio owners don't think about retention on a day to day basis. As you're starting to prepare your studio for summer, next fall and the end of the season, retaining your current students should become your focus and today Rhee and Stacey unpack why!
Customer Reviews
Rant #3 YES!
Thanks, Rhee, for the reminder that self-care is so important. I am always putting others before me, and lately I’m feeling the results in my exhaustion and lack of brain space.
Nice doses of inspiration!
Hi Rhee! I love listening to your podcasts in between dancelife conferences. I haven't been able to attend since 2017 since having a baby. I was wondering if I could request more subjects related to teaching (all genres) since I"m just a teacher and not an owner. Maybe ways to challenge even your best dancers, creative classroom lessons, improve/freestyle activities, teambuilding, etc...for those of us who only teach. Thanks!
Love this man!!!!
These Podcasts make me so happy!!! My staff and I remind ourselves of Rhee's messages, mantras and perspectives on a regular basis, but listening to these Podcasts are so much more inspirational and rejuvenating than trying to recreate his words. So grateful for everything he does for us!!!
