FollowUp Best Practice:When setting up an automated |
...
followup schedule for PT Clients, consider the most common PT package that people purchase and set automated |
...
followups accordingly. For example, if you normally sell a package of 5 training sessions, set up automated emails to go out once a week for 5 weeks. If you normally sell a 3 month PT package, set up automated emails for a 3 month period. We recommend that you only set up automated emails for the duration of a client's initial PT package. After clients have used their first PT package up, your trainers should be following up one-on-one with each of their clients, building a relationship between training sessions and giving them the personalized attention they expect. |
