Paying in Full Options, Should You be Doing this in your Martial Arts School?

Martial Arts Business Podcast

Today Gordon is talking about ‘pay in full’ options for membership at your Martial Arts School

Over the years Gordon has been anti paying in full for a year’s membership for a number of reasons but he’s come to realise you can do this in a very congruent way in your martial arts school.

In this episode, he shares how the mindset of customers has changed and why Martial Arts Business owners need to adapt their strategies to meet changing mindsets and continue to serve their customers well.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• We know as Martial Arts teachers people are different from how they were 5 years ago, we are much more a pickup and put down society.
• Now you are battling parents mindset where they think it’s ok to start something and then quit.
• The reality is people are very flippant and very up and down, as school owners, we have to think differently.
• We don’t have a world of winners anymore and it’s a problem.
• Most Martial Arts schools have people leave during the year because of the current mindset of people.
• If all your customers paid in full with a discount for doing so then you would have fewer people leave or find excuses to not attend.
• If you were able to get all your clients to pay in full you would need to be disciplined about paying bills for the year and putting aside the money for wages and other commitments.
• Is paying in full a bad idea? No, but it’s all about what you as the Martial Arts business owner do with the money and your discipline.
