She Means Fitness Business
“I wasn’t marketed to anymore.” My guest today points out a glaring still-existing dilemma in our fitness industry.

Images of young, fit individuals in bra tops still prevail. If you want to reach over 50 clients, you have to know what to say and what not to say. Jay Croft creates original content for trainers, gyms and studios. Everywhere you write, speak, or create video, you are a copywriter. I rounded up a professional...

info_outline 10 Top Podcast of 2023 | She Means Fitness BusinessShe Means Fitness Business
Although the year is not quite complete and it’s true that sometimes the end of the year podcasts get the short sheet, I love compiling this episode for many reasons.

info_outline How to Get Your First Midlife Coaching ClientShe Means Fitness Business
Ask. If you want to get your first midlife coaching client (or your hundredth) you’ll have to ask. As you listen, this is a day in the week that ends in “y.” If you didn’t ask someone to become a client and you want clients, are your actions congruent with what it is you say you want? I could give you a whole lot of platitudes here. I could share content that suggests you define a niche and create an avatar. And there are plenty of episodes here about that, but this isn’t one. To get your first midlife coaching client isn’t hard given women tend to seek trainers and support...

I’ll link to it in show notes) Where metabolism is concerned there are two considerations: During Exercise Outside of Exercise One is what happens 30-60 minutes a handful of times a week. The other is about what happens the other 23 or 23 and a half hours of the day. Which would you want to boost?

No matter whether you’re starting or you’ve got a list, you are primed to do better. Email marketing is a puzzle for all industries but the secrets are simple.
-
Serve your customer.
-
Offer more value than promotions
-
earn the right to put a promotion in front of them.
Your success in any relationship is in understanding what someone else is thinking and feeling. If you’re not doing that as you write every single email, you are losing this race.
For a very small percent of your email list this is a sprint. For many many more it’s a marathon. But you have water stations and port-a-potties all along a marathon.
The fitness of your email marketing depends on the frequency and intensity of your email.
Sound familiar?
In this episode why these health business email marketing mistakes hurt:
-
Email too infrequently
-
Email with too little value
-
Subject lines don’t peak curiosity
-
Links are broken or not included
-
Email an “everybody” email to all ages and both genders
-
Not sending to unopens
-
Not studying your open and click rates monthly
If you aren’t tapping into emotion with every email, you’re missing out.
If you aren’t segmenting your email list, you’re suffering.
When you get curious about why your open rate is low or click rate is poor, you can solve problems quickly. Was it the day and time? Was it the subject line? Was it the lack of repetition inside the email or the congruency of the message with the reason the subscriber got on your list?
