Why leads are ghosting you! & Q&A No.146

The Personal Trainer Mentor Academy Podcast

• What are some good options for a kid friendly, physical challenge to do at an event? (Not smoothie bikes...)
• 1. When I follow up, people are ghosting me or not replying. What am I doing wrong? Thanks 2. When practising motivational interviewing techniques over whatsapp, for example, I find the method clunky compared to face to face conversation - you can't really use reflections... (when I do the answers people give are v. short and closed), so I end up using more open ended questions. Any advice pls for getting people to open up on written text vs 121 conversations? Thanks
• How would you both get referrals from clients?
• As SGPT starts to grow in popularity, I don't know if its just me, but I seem to be noticing more mentor types talking (in advert etc) about it. I feel, like anything in this industry, that this is going to be the next thing to get twisted and turned into something it maybe isn't. I don't know if you guys have noticed anything along these lines? Could you reiterate to anyone listening what SGPT is?
• If a client goes quiet and doesn't check in or respond to a direct message, what would you do? Keep the monthly rolling contract going or approach them and ask them if they want to terminate? (bearing in mind this person is doing this with their partner, and their partner is an absolute dream to work with).
• Do client referal codes work?
• How long did it take for you to get completely comfortable recording videos and hearing your own voice back on camera?
• In your experience, what holds coaches back the most from achieving their business goals? self belief, poor systems, lack of clarity, shit product etc.
• How do you get a client to see she needs to move away from tracking (food and her body) and work on her RWF and her body image?
• Tips for getting more engagement/ interaction from followers
