And the answer might not be what you think.Most gym owners assume it's a sales problem. Get better at follow up. Get better on the phone. And yeah, that stuff matters. But after sitting in mastermind rooms for the last several weeks hearing the same complaint over and over, I started noticing a pattern: the gym owners with the worst show rates all had one thing in common.

There's a lesson in there for every gym owner.5 Key Takeaways:Your show rate problem might be a marketing problem.
