AFTER ALL

Your competition will if you won’t

No other gyms in my town do any marketing at all except maybe a radio commercial once a year at best, and they let the salesperson at the radio station write the ad, and it turns out horrific. You know the one, with the skits of two people talking bad about another gym.

Those gym radio ads never bring people in, not just because the ad writing sucked, but because their ad has no benefit at all to make someone laying on their couch at home relaxing want to get up and get dressed and come to your gym and hand you their hard earned money. Ad’s have to be written well and make your prospect do something like go to your website, call, or come in. I’ll give you dozens of the actual ads I ran including the actual audio examples so you can hear the ad itself, also with how to measure exactly what ads work and how many

 

With this book you could open any business with all the info it gives you on marketing and managing any business, not just a gym business.

Also learn Google AdWords!!!

The Marvel tool for Marketing.

The most underutilized tool for your business locally or regionally, BUT BEWARE!!! you can spend thousands on accident if you don’t know what you’re doing, I explain in dept how to utilize this marvel of marketing, from how to write a great ad and how to test many versions of ads to find what works best

Here’s an example of a couple building a gym with this info

“… My husband and I are in the beginning stages of starting our own personal training studio, we were so happy to stumble across Shannon’s book. We noticed that Shannon said he would be willing to answer a few questions we had, so we called him. What a great guy, we could tell he was very genuine and cared even though we had never met him before! I loved the parts in the book about what Using Psychology to find out what color to paint in your gym, I would never have thought about how the color choices we make affect our clients. We were actually already considering red as the main color, now we know better.
Thanks!”

-Nicole and Jon | Michigan

Here’s a testimonial from Will Herring, former NFL Linebacker for New Orleans Saints that used this book to build his gym in Auburn, Alabama

I found Shannon’s book online and read it because I always wanted to start a gym but didn’t know what kind of gym or how to even get started. Being in the NFL I travel non-stop and needed the freedom to not be bothered with constant calls about gym stuff. I hired Shannon to help me after I read his book. He traveled to me and helped me get everything going with the 24-hour system and most importantly helped me with the website and all marketing. I got it opened and am still in business today with less headache than I thought possible because I have a 24-hour system and marketing system in place.
