Ep. 118 - What BJJ Academy owners about increasing revenue, and how to fix it.

from The Business of Jiu Jitsu · host JP Levesque

If your adults program and kids program aren't where they need to be, adding a fitness kickboxing class or a kettlebell program isn't going to fix your revenue problem. It's just going to split your attention. This episode is JP's breakdown of where academy owners actually need to focus to grow monthly recurring revenue and why the answer is almost never "start something new."In this episode:The unfinished wheel analogy and why adding new programs before your core is dialed is a losing moveWhy fitness kickboxing, yoga, and extra class types almost always fizzle out and what to do with that time insteadThe front end offer that works: a paid intro program that charges $500+ upfront and gives new students a clear outcomeWhy confidence in your offer comes from reps and how to get there fastThe full student journey broken down: leads, trials, onboarding, retention and what needs to be in place at every stepWhy the sales conversation isn't scary when you prefame it before class even startsThe 30, 60, and 90-day onboarding handouts that build trust and set realistic expectationsThe student scorecard, a 90-day check-in that coaches your students through their own progressWhat at-risk student follow-up actually looks like when it's documented and done consistentlyWhy word of mouth is a gift, not a strategy and what dependable lead generation actually requiresThe reactivation bucket: what to do with leads who didn't join after their trialWhy most gyms aren't doing any of this consistently and how one Google Drive folder changes thatWant to go deeper on all of this?Download the free Unstuck Academy ebook at -htts://growjitsu.com/free-book or listen to the audiobook version right here on this podcast.
