LIVE CHECK IN Q&A #12

The Personal Trainer Mentor Academy Podcast

Another episode from the group coaching participants, we cover the below questions this week;

Are ebooks a good idea or are they done? Don't want to waste my time putting something together.

If someone fills the pre-consult form, doesn’t book a call straight from it and you’ve already made contact with them by email after. How long would you leave it until you made contact again and what would you say?

How the hell do you make a reel on Instagram? Have you seen more engagement from them?

How to address 'secret eating'. Feel like one of my clients may just be telling what I want to hear with their calorie consumption rather than what's actually going on. Want to create opportunity for them to reflect on what they tell others vs. what they are doing in secret.

Should I schedule my week coming or do Plan it for when the gym opens?

As I’m mostly 1-2-1 Advice to help a client who is very anxious about pushing himself lifting weights online feel more confident. he can easily do it.

Better quality programming any advice

When onboarding 1:1 leads how would you deal with session availability. I don't want to work evenings which won't work for some leads. Would we establish this early? I should know their work hours from the pre-consult form.

I sometimes feel that my message on social media is patronising, how can I figure out if landing or not? This maybe a stupid question sorry 🙈

How long would you say to spend on content creating for Instagram etc?

So must course is run a bit like PTMA, u get 2 webinars a week n a check in. But what do u do if folk aren't getting involved as much as ud like? On last course I messaged them all individually but in order for me to scale this when gyms go back its not possible. So how do I keep them on track without messaging individually?x

1. Is it always necessary to do surveys for market research? What are your thoughts on running 'experiments' and learning from those instead?; 2. What other courses are you planning to run for PTs in the future?; 3. 3 top priorities to make a PTs life easier/avoid burnout?; 4. What industry trends have you seen come and go Vs ones that are here to stay?

Do you think weekly check ins need to be done live i.e. Zoom etc or would they be better and more time efficient to do them from a form and then sending feedback via video/ email?

How would you go about transferring face to face clients to online How do you relate your core values to your business and do you reflect on them often?

I have a few questions regarding the pre consult & consult process:
- How long after the pre consult would you wait to book the consult, & what would you do if the prospect wanted to go through the consult & sales process during the pre consult?
- Would you discuss pricing during the pre-consult if the prospect asks about it?
- If you are doing online coaching is it okay to do the pre-consult & consult on the same call as you are not prescribing face to face sessions?
- At which point of your onboarding should you ask the prospect about their availability?

No question this week - just a thank you for the work you guys put in because it helps leaps and bounds!

Other than getting as much experience as possible, how would you recommend improving as an online coach? Any books/course recommendations would be great!
