Wow, great post Sensei Ronald. Thanks for adding your thoughts on fitness marketing strategies.

I like your advice on meeting someone new everyday. A great way to do this is too think of meeting one new friend everyday.

There are companies you can hire to send you clients. Some give you leads and you have to sell the package. The better companies send you clients who have already bought a package of sessions. Also online classified sites are great for promoting your training business. Talk to friends who are in related industries. You can ask physical therapists, local high school coaches, club team coache, massage therapists, doctors, nurses, nutritionists, weight watchers or nutrisystem representatives, fitness magazines, actors, dance studios, yoga and pilates studios, karate teachers. The restaraunts you eat at regularly. In fact ask your clients who they go to for hair styling, or other services you both use. And offer to do a body fat analysis, and fitness asessment at those locations. You want to find people similar to your client, because they can afford the training. And offer a gift to your clients who refer a friend to you. For example I give 15% of the first package for a referral to the person who referred them. I give it to them as a gift card, from vendors I like, or vendors who are already partnered with me in the local community. Get out and meet people. In the community make it a point to meet at least one new person a day. And collect one business card per day from someone new. Volunteer with red cross, your church, your kid's school, or any foundation like livestrong, or whatever cause really hits your heart. And you will meet new people and they will ask what you do. Do not ask them to train with you. Instead ask them "if you know anyone who wants to be more fit, have them call me at this number.?" Or better yet ask for their friend's email or phone and make contact with them within 24 hours. create a website, and register in online directories, yellowpages, and use facebook, multiply, myspace, linkedin, or whatever your favorite networking sites are. keep a fitness blog going with your thoughts on exercise and nutrition. I like wordpress, and blogspot for blogging.
