» Tips on closing the deal
-
Clients may not yet realize how wonderfully improved
their lives will become after working out with you.
- Be aware that they have inhibitions and concerns— but
make the effort to contact them as if you were saving their
lives. (You probably are.) Call and introduce yourself.
- Even if you're busy (which is a good thing!), contact them and set
a date and time to meet. Email them with a brief note thanking them
for making the wise decision to change their lives.
- If you don't hear back, call again and remind them that you are
there to help— but, you need for them to pick up the phone.
Then, give it a couple of days and call again. They could
be out of town or sick or under a deadline.
- Be patient, yet persistent.
5) Referral fee of $75
We will email you an invoice through Paypal.
Make your payment through
Paypal or mail a check:
3950 Earlston Road, Downers
Grove, IL 60515.
Please make payments as soon as you close the lead.
(The more prompt
your payments are, the sooner we can send you more leads!)
6) The client is all yours
After the one-time, per-client,
referral fee of $75 the client is all yours. Many of our trainers
keep clients for years— generating
thousands of dollars, making back the $75 many times over.
