When it comes to attracting a client or a new member to your gym, the marketing vs. sales conversation is a little muddy at times. In this episode, Randy takes us through the main differences between these two and when you should be doing one over the other.On a high level, marketing can be thought of as the introduction to and getting people interested in your company and the products and services you offer. On the other hand, sales are the specific activities or the actions you take that contribute to the conversion of somebody from a lead to a new member.Ultimately as a gym owner, you should be steering the conversation towards more of marketing than sales.
