From Casey Conrad, Darren Hill and Tara Diversi to Steve Jensen and Fiona Cosgrove, the 2012 PT Business Summit's line-up of brilliant presenters from both within and outside of the fitness industry will help you build a better PT business in 2012.

Lasting impressions
Darren Hill

A key to your success as a personal trainer is how well your programs and your messages are remembered. We live in an information-rich age, which has increased the need to be memorable. For any small business, lasting impressions matter now more than ever. So, in a highly visible and competitive fitness industry, how are you leaving a lasting impression with your clients? Author, speaker and behavioural scientist Darren guides you through the science of being memorable, both as an expert and as a small business. Discover how to draw people to your service, your product and – most importantly – your message.

Getting to 'Go'!
Tara Diversi

Clients often know what to do to achieve their fitness goals – but they simply don't do it! As well as delaying the benefits of training, this can cause a lot of frustration to you, their trainer. The best PTs don't just know the best exercises to prescribe for each individual, they also use the power of influence and persuasion to facilitate positive results. Discover why your clients do what they do, and how you can use the wisdom from consumer psychology, behavioural economics and marketing to become more influential and persuasive in getting your clients to 'Go'.

Use Facebook to grow your PT business
Casey Conrad

Do you have a hard time quantifying whether your Facebook presence is actually helping you reach more prospects? Casey reveals how you can use Facebook to drive more prospects and ultimately get more clients. Learn: simple tricks to gain maximum exposure; new 'programming' features that turn your Facebook into a mini website (and why that's important); how to establish a comments box that will help you reach more potential prospects; how to use 'Tags' to create tremendous social proof with members and their friends; and one simple promotion that will help you generate a killer referral program.

 

 

The ultimate conversion: from trial session to paying client
Steve Jensen

Providing trial personal training sessions is one of the easiest ways of generating more clients. Unfortunately, poor sales strategies and closing sequences result in many lost opportunities. Discover how to qualify each trial PT session to maximise your income potential, and learn training strategies proven to encourage the conversion of prospects into clients. Take home a closing sequence with the power to instil the desire to continue training with you in every prospect, and learn how to use a price presentation technique that will make your services indispensable.

Coaching clients to dramatic lifestyle change
Fiona Cosgrove

Most clients know what they should be doing to improve their health and wellbeing, so why aren't they doing it? Fiona provides new tools to break through client stigmas, and explains how to incorporate them into your training business. Learn how coaching can change the way the brain responds, placing the client in a completely different mental state than when they are being 'told' what to do, and enabling a sense of empowerment and enhanced performance. Gain an understanding of how wellness coaching differs from traditional personal training models, by adding value for clients and opening up new markets for your business.
