Top 5 Laws from the 48 Laws of Power To Increase Gym Sales

A gym’s growth is dictated by the people who are in position to persuade others to buy.

In the fiercely competitive world of MMA and fitness gyms, mastering the art of sales can mean the difference between thriving and merely surviving.

Drawing from the timeless wisdom of Robert Greene's "48 Laws of Power," we unveil potent strategies to elevate your sales game and drive exponential growth for your gym.

Let’s begin with Law 4.

Law 4: Always Say Less Than Necessary

In sales, less is often more.

Rather than bombarding prospects with information, focus on delivering just what they need to know and then exceed their expectations with undeniable value. Keep your pitch concise, leaving room for curiosity to flourish and paving the way for effortless persuasion.

The less you speak the more questions they ask.

The more questions they ask, the more pain points you can identify in order to close the sale on them later.

Law 8: Make Other People Come to You – Use Bait if Necessary

Don't chase after prospects; instead, entice them to come to you.

Position yourself as the ultimate solution to their fitness needs, offering tantalizing incentives such as a free trial month or exclusive merchandise.

Freebies or bonuses can be great “weapons” to lead prospects in because people like to feel like their getting a better deal. They love to feel as if they’re being treated “special” in comparison to others.

When you’re bonuses are also communicated vaguely, such as saying “would like to here ways you can save on your monthly membership?”, it will cause even more curiosity in your prospects & lean them in closer to buying.

By making prospects eager to seek your attention, you gain the upper hand in negotiations and close deals with finesse.

Law 25: Re-Create Yourself

Embrace the power of personal transformation.

Shed limiting beliefs and adopt a winning mindset that exudes confidence and competence.

Visualize yourself as a sales champion, just as a martial artist envisions victory in every bout. By reshaping your self-image, you pave the way for unparalleled success in closing memberships and driving revenue.

This works by influencing the subconscious mind with positive reinforcement which will in return cause you to make new subconscious habits of a successful gym sales coordinator.

Law 30: Make Your Accomplishments Seem Effortless

Nothing in life is truly easy. You just need to make it look easy.

Present your achievements with an air of effortlessness and mastery. Rather than dwelling on the challenges you've overcome, frame your successes as natural outcomes of your expertise and dedication.

I remember the day I got promoted from trainer to Sales Manager at my MMA Gym. On the first day, I closed 5 new members and in my eyes, I thought that was normal.

To my co-workers, 5 new members in one day was unheard of. They were used to seeing THREE new members in just a week.

The next month I closed 26 member’s, and still I consider that a ‘low” if not “average” number. On the flip side, that “low” number was also enough to boost our gross gym revenue by $7K that month.

By setting high standards for yourself and viewing exceptional achievements as the norm, you inspire confidence in your ability to reach even greater heights.

Law 31: Control the Options: Get Others to Play with the Cards You Deal

People like to feel like they’re in control. Let them!

By harnessing the power of choice, you can steer prospects towards favorable outcomes.

Offer carefully curated options that make clients feel empowered and in control, while subtly guiding them towards decisions that benefit your gym's growth.

By skillfully manipulating circumstances and perceptions, you secure sales and cement your position as a sales virtuoso.

By applying the principles of the "48 Laws of Power" to your gym sales strategy, you can unlock untapped potential and achieve unparalleled success.

Embrace these timeless principles, and watch as your gym flourishes with a steady influx of eager new members and skyrocketing revenue.
