I speak to personal trainers every day who approach members all the time, but still don't take on the number of clients you'd assume with the level of interaction they have.
More often than not this is due to the fact that you reek of an agenda.
There is little justification for mentioning your services or pricing after you help someone. Chances are they expect this anyway, so it is very refreshing when you merely walk away after you've helped them.
They remain in control and have only been influenced by the fact that they now know you just wanted to help.
Dont be that pushy salesman.

Approach

Help

Leave

Wait

Help on volume, and earn on volume! Speak to 20 people today, and you might not make a penny today. But you'll make an extra £1000 this year.

I promise......

Don't be so narrow minded as to limit your buisness to only one product and service. If you set such restrictive parameters, your business will be just that........restricted.

There are a plethora of services that people will pay for that require only as much effort as your willing to put in.

1) contact a local farmer or fresh food delivery service and negotiate a commission on buisness you raise for them. A diet plan always sounds that bit more appealing when your personal trainer can arrange for its contents to be delivered fresh to your door.

2) Make stand alone generic programs that go above and beyond the standard online program. This will allow you to maximise on those people who just won't commit, or perhaps don't need, a personalised program. Try to appeal to as many broadly applied subjects as possible ie. Weightloss, knee injuries, 6 pack abs etc.

3) design macronutrient questionnaires with bodyfat analysis. These will allow you to collect emails for a mailing list as well as providing a service that you can charge as much as you like for. Make sure these look proffessional and approach people with the notion that you can work out their macros with the simple questions so they can make responsible decisions. There are many apps you can get that work this out for you without having to employ the algorithms. It's just data collection really.

5) if your clients are their own worst enemies in terms of nutrition, cut them out of the loop and offer an online supermarket shopper service.

6) Go to supermarkets and offer a nutritionist walk around service for charity. So people who know nothing about nutrition can pay a couple of quid to the shops charity of choice and you can walk around and advise.
Although you make nothing, you get an extended period of time with people who you know are already concerned about their health.
Remember that health concern is a buying signal.

Now my weeks at times are a little hectic because iv got a lot to squeeze in, so often i'm on nearly a 72 hour week.
Now someone asked me yesterday what kind of person would want to work those kind of hours???
My response was "the kind that won't have to work any hours at all in ten years".

Hard work is hard whilst your doing it, but as long as your working towards the right things and not just a busy fool, you will be the sole benefactor.

Optimism is the chariot of success whilst pessimism is the time capsule of failure. No pessimistic salesman has ever sold more than the man smiling next to him.
Remember that you are salesman first and a personal trainer second; so whether you are happy about that or not, it's something you are better accepting and then excelling at, rather than denying and end up failing full stop.

Don't be one of those personal trainers that constantly bombards social networks with examples of other people's creativity and pass it off as their own.
Anyone can google motivational captions and post them online, but show some effort and inspire people with your own examples of what motivates you. Constantly posting the same tedious quotes is a lazy way of promoting what you offer.

Most people remain financially unstable for their entire lives because they struggle to maintain a linear quality of lifestyle.
As soon as you have a better than usual month, or you aquire a sum of money outside of your regular income; your quality of lifestyle improves beyond what is necessary for a sustainable existence until that money dries up.
You eat in nicer resteraunts, you recreate more frequently, you tip more, you are more impulsive and you gamble.
But understanding that your quality of lifestyle can always be a little bit better with a little more money, means that those indulgences will always be temporary.
Work out the difference between what you need and what you want, and you will always have more money.

Look.........If your not doing very well in the gym you work in, don't look for something to blame that isn't yourself.
Don't blame the members, don't blame the kit, don't blame other p.ts, don't blame the economy.
It's something you are doing or not doing that is weakening your business. So work out what that is.
Are you a presence in the gym? Are you a face in the industry? Are you present on social networks? Are you an expert in your field? Are your prices realistic?
Few businesses fail because of the actions of others. So work out what your doing wrong before you start to justify your failure

Iv often found myself so busy developing my buisness and assisting others with theirs that I have neglected my own training and diet.
Don't get me wrong, I train and eat well, but is my training and diet the optimal version of what it could be........probably not.
So I have decided to do something for myself and begin to structure my buisness around myself, rather than structuring myself around my buisness.

Meal prep is going well and I have given up drinking full stop.

Training is more structured and more frequent, and I will update you all on my progress as I progress

Today I was offered a job as a sales trainer which is something iv always wanted to do, but the salary is not what I'd expect of a job that requires so much experiance. Iv told them what I'd get out of bed for.......Let's see if they play ball
