Why Most Retreats Fail (And How to Design Profitable, Sold-Out Experiences) with Sheri A. Rosenthal

from How To Run Profitable Retreats · host Leni Cavazos

What actually makes a retreat successful… and why do so many fail? In this episode of How to Run Profitable Retreats, I'm joined by Sheri A. Rosenthal, a leader in the retreat industry who has designed and led over 1,000 retreats worldwide. Together, we break down what it really takes to create retreats that are not only transformational, but also profitable and sustainable. We talk about: ▪️ Why retreats are inherently transformational (even when you don't expect them to be) ▪️ The biggest mistake retreat leaders make when choosing their ideal client ▪️ How pricing impacts perceived value (and why underpricing actually hurts your sales) ▪️ What most people don't understand about designing a retreat that truly sells out If you've ever thought about hosting a retreat, or you're already running them but want to do it at a higher level, this episode will shift how you think about your business.   🎧 Connect with Sheri ▪️ Website: http://www.wanderlustentrepreneur.com ▪️ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wanderlustentrepreneurs/   🎟️ Resources & Next Steps 💭 Join Sheri's event: Rock Your Sold-Out & Profitable Retreats https://gs227.isrefer.com/go/rysr26lc/Leni/ 💭 Join us live in Mexico: Sell Out Retreat Summit https://womensretreatsworldwide.com/registration?am_id=lenicavazos1523   🎧 Love the show?
