    Gym Genius: Fix Your Gym Sales Process — The 7 Steps From the Front Door to the Signature

    Most gyms don't have a sales problem. They have a process problem.Every tour is different, every salesperson has their own approach — and then the owner wonders why one person closes 60% of prospects while another closes 20%. One is following a process. The other is winging it. In this episode, Jim Thomas lays out the 7-step membership sales process: structured, measurable, trainable, and repeatable, no matter who's working the front desk.Before the steps, one mindset shift: stop selling your gym and start selling what the customer actually wants. Nobody buys a treadmill. They buy what that treadmill helps them accomplish — the better version of themselves.The 7 steps:1. The Greeting and Registration — greet them like they belong here, and register every guest. No registration means no follow-up and no closing percentage to manage.2. The Evaluation — sit down before you walk around. Find the goal, then ask: "Why is that important to you?" That's their powerful WHY, and the whole presentation gets built on it.3. The Tour — connect every feature to a benefit, and every benefit back to their WHY. Personalize the tour; keep the process consistent.4. The Analysis — give them a starting point: an assessment, a baseline, the beginning of a plan they can picture.5. The Price Presentation — recommend a solution, not a menu. Anchor with the higher-value option, be clear about what you recommend and why.6. The Close — stop presenting and start asking. Decent boldness: friendly, courteous, respectful — and not afraid to ask for the business. If you don't ask, the answer is always no.7. The Follow-Up — when they don't join, the process isn't over. Follow up about their goals, not "ready yet?", and stay the obvious choice when the timing turns.Read the full article:https://www.fmconsulting.net/your-gym-doesnt-have-a-sales-problem-it-has-a-process-problem-here-are-the-7-steps-to-fix-it/Jim Thomas On Demand — the full lesson library, 30 days free:https://www.fmconsulting.net/on-demand/Gym Sales Masterclass:https://www.fmconsulting.net/courses/Free strategy session: 214-629-7223Jim Thomas | Fitness Management & Consulting | fmconsulting.net
