5-Reps: Top Takeaways from 3 days of Learning

Happy 5-Reps Friday!

Last week I attended the Raise the Bar Conference. In today's email I'm sharing my top takeaways.

Here are 2 coaching concepts, 2 business nuggets, and a quote to consider this week.

2 Coaching Concepts

A question all coaches must ask themselves if they want to be great:

How good are you at being more excited about somebody other than yourself?

Most clients begin an exercise routine for extrinsic motivators but they continue for intrinsic ones.

Extrinsic: Looks, performance, health

Intrinsic: Enjoyment, social interaction, community, how it makes them feel

(My takeaway: Build your marketing around extrinsic motivators and your coaching around intrinsic.)

2 Business Nuggets

Reactivate old clients with S.T.I.T.T. (Something To Invite Them Too).

Create an event. Having a reason to reach out makes it easy. Here's your phone script:

"Hey {name}. I was just thinking of you and thought you might want to join us next Thursday. We're hosting a charity workout for the humane society. (It's free, but donations are welcome.) Can I put your name on the list?"

Call them on the phone. I know, crazy concept isn't it?

Follow the 10-5 rule in the gym.

When you're 10 feet from a member, smile and make eye contact.

When you're within 5 feet, verbally greet them.

I recorded a podcast sharing the simple way I did it. Focused growth periods can be effective (with the right efforts). Enter your email below for the recording.

The goal of each 5-Reps email is to share the most industry experience per word on the web. While my articles and social media posts allow me to explore one idea, these emails will cover a wider range of topics and also feature other industry leaders.

In addition to the recording, you will get one short email every Friday and occasional promotional messages. You can unsubscribe anytime. Unsubscribe any time.
