Hi Michael,
Have to get my comment in this week ☺.
Great discussion about high emotion and lifetime client value. I have developed some intuitive ideas around this concept but didn’t have any data. It seems pretty consistent with BJ Fogg’s “Tiny Habits”/start small approach as well as a skills-based approach to fitness transformation. Maybe when people are too excited at the beginning they have unrealistic expectations leading to disappointment? Excitement can sometimes be the enemy of execution.
I also identified with his desire to deliver excellent service to GP clients.
Thanks for the show!
Yeah, Jeff, that was one of my big takeaways too. When we get a prospect super excited about our product or service we may be missing an opportunity to set clear expectations of reality. Ensuring that they have accurate expectations is KEY to them having a positive experience. Particularly in fitness, our services aren’t’ a magic wand, so we need to balance the promise of solid aesthetic results with the reality that it requires hard work and dedication. 🙂
