EP | 744 - How to Fix Your Show Rates | 5 Systems That Get Your Booked Calls to Actually Show Up

from The Fitness Business Podcast with Erin Dimond and Jordan Dugger

Let me give you a number. 1.8 million. That's roughly what a single metric cost us in annualized front-end revenue in early 2025. Not a bad hire. Not a broken offer. Not an ad account getting shut down. One number. That we let slip. Here's the math so you understand the stakes before we even get into the fix. At IFCA we run about 300 booked calls a month. We approve roughly 75% of those — 225 calls. The other 75 get dequeued. Either they don't qualify or our team proactively pulls them off the calendar so they don't pollute our data. So we're working with 225 approved calls. At a 25% close rate and a $9,500 average contract value — here's what happens at different show rates. At 73%, which was our historical baseline, 164 of those 225 people show up live. You close 25%. That's 41 new clients. Roughly $390,000 in front-end cash for the month. In early 2025, our show rate dropped to 45%. 101 people showing up live. 25 closes. $238,000 in front-end cash. Same calendar. Same closer. Same ad spend. $152,000 a month difference. $1.8 million annualized. And before I tell you how we got there, I want to make something clear: this was not a lead quality problem. I hear coaches say that all the time when their show rate tanks. "The leads are just worse now." Sometimes that's partially true. But a 45% show rate is almost never a lead quality problem. It is a system failure. It has an operational cause and an operational solution. I'll share what that operational solution is in today's episode.   Time Stamps:   (0:10) Fixing Show Rates (2:04) Show Rate Optmiziation Guide (2:34) Why Show Rates Are Dropping (6:20) Finding The Gaps In Your Sales Workflow (11:07) Justification Mode (16:48) Maximum Calendar Availability ---------------- 🚀 Watch Our 3 Minute Video on How to Unlock An Extra $30k/Month In Your Online Fitness Coaching Business In Just 90 Days - Or We'll Coach You For Free! ---------------- Follow Us on Instagram
