    We can see the light at the end of the tunnel right now, but that’s only the beginning.

How can you tell your story and provide an operation in a way that will secure your piece of this market? Those that are planning this and not letting it just happen to them are those who will see a boost in their business post-Covid.

    #57: Selling Is Not a Dirty Word -- The New ABCs

    A different kind of ABC. Whereas the old Wall Street Gordon Gekko model of Always Be Closing was popularized in the 80s, the modern day sales process is driven more around empathy than persuasion, and in that spirit we look towards Daniel Pink’s Attunement, Buoyancy, Clarity instead.

    #56: Post Peak COVID - Is Now a Good Time to Grow?

    It’s easy to knee jerk to a lot of things right now and say it’s a terrible time to grow. It’s also easy to be doing well and think, we’re in the clear. In order to decide what’s best for your business, the best approach is careful examination of your KPIs, the macro industry market and your micro local market.

    #55: Coaching Development 101 - Where To Focus for a Better Bottom Line

    Coaching development is a critical part of any successful gym. The key is understanding the balance between reinforcing technical skills + reinforcing cultural awareness. Both are important, so if a gym focuses only on one and not the other they will greatly lack in a particular part of the member experience and leave your business potential unfulfilled. Developing coaches is beneficial for all involved. Invest, spend time on it.

    #53: What we would have done differently if we started over

    We’re very happy and fortunate to be where we are today and if we could change something about what we did, we wouldn’t.

This Podcast is the reason I joined P360

I was living in LA last summer and my girlfriend saw an advertisement for this podcast and sent it to me on a whim. I eventually ended up listening and was hooked. These guys know what they're talking about and are so transparent about what they do and why they do it. I moved to San Diego 6 months later and we joined P360 on arrival. The gym more than lives up to the lofty expectations I had set based on this podcast and my other research. Great podcast, great gym.
