Sales Assessment Results

"I'm not sure I can commit to a gym membership right now due to my busy schedule."

What does your schedule look like? We have many people with the same problem, but our workouts are only 30 minutes long and we have 8 workouts each day so even people with the busiest schedules are able to squeeze it into their life.

The response effectively addresses the objection by asking about the prospect's schedule and acknowledging that many people share similar concerns. However, it could be improved by emphasizing the flexibility of the gym's offerings more and suggesting specific times that might work for the prospect. The tone is friendly and inviting, which fits well in the gym membership industry. While it does hint at a collaborative approach by asking for the schedule, it lacks a stronger closing technique to encourage commitment. Overall, it showcases a solution-focused attitude but misses an opportunity for deeper discovery and rapport building. Overall, a solid effort but with room for improvement in engagement and closing techniques.

"Your fees are higher than the gym down the street; why is that?"

I understand, our gyms are led by a coach on the workout floor, as opposed to a big box gym that simply gives you access to their equipment and you have to figure it out on your own. Each day we create the workout for you, coach you through the entire workout, have your equipment ready so we take all the guess work out of what you need to do, which is why people get better results with us than a regular gym.

The response effectively addresses the concern by highlighting the value of personalized coaching and structured workouts, which justifies the higher fees. It communicates clearly and maintains an encouraging tone appropriate for the fitness industry. However, it could benefit from a more explicit closing technique, such as inviting the prospect to experience a session or offering a trial membership. Additionally, while it demonstrates value, it could explore the prospect's specific fitness goals to make the conversation more collaborative and tailored. Overall, it does a good job of listening to the objection and responding with a solution-focused approach, but there's room for improvement in engagement and closing.

"I'm really not confident that I'll stick to a gym routine."

Why is that? Most people can't stick with a program because they don't enjoy it. Our workouts are just 30 minutes long, we crank up the music, and you are surrounded by like minded people so you are more prone to stick with the program when you actually are enjoying the process of getting fit.

The response effectively addresses the concern by asking for clarification on the prospect's lack of confidence, which opens the door for further discussion. The explanation of the enjoyable workout environment and the 30-minute duration is a good way to highlight the value proposition. However, it could be improved by acknowledging the prospect's feelings more directly, showing empathy, and possibly sharing a success story or testimonial to build credibility. Additionally, a closing technique could be employed to encourage the prospect to take the next step, such as offering a free trial or inviting them to experience a class. Overall, this response demonstrates a decent understanding of the prospect's concern but misses some opportunities for deeper engagement and closure.

"How do I know your gym has the right equipment for my specific fitness goals?"

Our workouts are tailored to meet you where you are at with your fitness level. We know that everyone is at different chapter of their fitness journey, so we give modifications for particular movements if you need them and you can go at your own pace and tempo the entire workout. Equipment wise, we have everything that is needed for you to produce the best results in the shortest time possible so you aren't wasting time on equipment that won't benefit your progress.

Your response addresses the concern about the gym's equipment by emphasizing personalized workouts and modifications, which is great for engaging the prospect. However, while you mention that you have the necessary equipment, you could have been more specific about what equipment is available that aligns with common fitness goals (e.g., strength training, cardio, etc.). This would help build trust and provide clarity. Additionally, asking open-ended questions could enhance curiosity and discovery, such as 'What specific fitness goals are you aiming for?' This would show active listening and allow you to tailor your response even further. Overall, while you communicated well, there’s room for improvement in demonstrating specific value and fostering a collaborative dialogue. Score: 7

"I've heard negative reviews about your gym; how do you address those concerns?"

Some people just may not be a good fit for our gym, which is ok. We have been is business for almost 10 years and 99% of our reviews are positive. We always reach out to a negative review to see how we can best serve their needs and make changes to constantly improve.

The response effectively acknowledges the objection by mentioning the high percentage of positive reviews and the gym's commitment to improvement. However, it lacks a direct engagement with the specific concerns that the prospect may have based on those negative reviews. While it shows some active listening by addressing the feedback process, it could benefit from curiosity and discovery by asking the prospect what specific concerns they heard or what their expectations are. A more personal touch in building rapport would also enhance the response. Overall, it communicates a positive tone but misses an opportunity for deeper engagement and a collaborative approach to close the conversation. Score: 6

"I already have a home workout routine that I'm happy with; why would I switch?"

In a group fitness setting you are able to push yourself more with a coach who is motivating you than working out on your own. The intensity that you workout at yields the best results, so if you find that you aren't seeing results on your own, it may be time to switch to something that can push you a bit more.

The response addresses the prospect's concern by emphasizing the benefits of group fitness and the motivational aspect of having a coach. However, it could improve by acknowledging the value of their current routine and asking questions to better understand their specific goals and challenges. This would demonstrate active listening and curiosity. Additionally, a stronger closing technique could encourage the prospect to consider a trial class or session to experience the difference firsthand. Overall, the communication is clear and relevant, but it lacks a collaborative approach to build rapport. In summary, while it touches on the benefits, it needs more engagement and a solution-focused dialogue to be effective.

"I have a friend who pays a lower rate at another gym; can you match that?"

Our prices have a set rate so it's fair to all of our members. It wouldn't be fair to them if we allowed everyone to pay different pricing. Our workouts are designed so you get the most value for your membership as long as you are using it and hitting your workouts over the course of the week.

The response effectively addresses the concern about pricing but lacks a strong engagement with the prospect's perspective. While emphasizing fairness is important, it would have been more effective to acknowledge the prospect's friend's lower rate and explore what specifically drew them to that gym. Additionally, incorporating a closing technique or a follow-up question could have helped maintain the dialogue and possibly lead to a solution that highlights the unique value of your gym. Overall, the communication is clear but could benefit from a more personal touch and curiosity about the prospect's needs. Score: 5

"I'm worried about the long-term commitment of a membership; what are my options?"

Most people stay with us for years, but for some reason if you move or had to cancel, we just ask that you give us a 30 day notice to close down the account.

The response addresses the objection about long-term commitment by mentioning that most members stay for years, which is somewhat reassuring. However, it lacks a more proactive approach to explore the prospect's specific concerns or offer alternative options that might suit them better, such as trial memberships or month-to-month plans. The communication is clear, but it could be warmer and more engaging, perhaps by empathizing with the prospect's feelings about commitment. There’s no closing technique, which is crucial in guiding the conversation toward a decision. It misses an opportunity for curiosity and discovery to understand why the prospect is hesitant. Overall, it acknowledges the concern but does not do enough to alleviate it or offer solutions. Score: 4/10 for addressing the concern but lacking depth and engagement.

"What if I don't see results after joining? Can I get my money back?"

There are many variables that contribute to your results, so we can't monitor what you do outside of the gym. Generally, people that hit their workouts 3-5 days per week and stick with their nutrition guide 80% of the time see fantastic results, but we don't offer money back since we can't see what you are doing outside of our gym walls.

The response effectively addresses the concern about results by highlighting the importance of personal commitment and effort, but it lacks empathy and fails to engage the prospect's feelings. The tone is somewhat dismissive, which could alienate the prospect instead of building rapport. A better approach would include acknowledging the prospect's fears more directly and perhaps offering a trial period or a results guarantee based on gym usage. There is no closing technique employed, and the response could benefit from asking questions to better understand the prospect's specific concerns or past experiences. Overall, it misses an opportunity to demonstrate value in ongoing support or community, which could alleviate their worries about results. Score: 4/10.

"I prefer outdoor activities; how can you convince me that a gym is worth it?"

Thats great! We actually recommend doing outdoor activities to combine with your workouts with the gym to get even better results. We have had past members workout outside combined with their in gym workouts that get even better results. But working and strengthening your muscles inside of the gym will make your outdoor activities even more fun and functional.

The response does a decent job of addressing the objection by acknowledging the prospect's preference for outdoor activities and suggesting a combination of gym workouts and outdoor exercises. It effectively communicates a solution-focused approach that highlights the benefits of gym workouts for enhancing outdoor performance. However, it lacks a closing technique to encourage further engagement or commitment, and it could improve by asking questions to explore the prospect's specific outdoor interests. A clearer articulation of the unique value the gym offers in relation to outdoor activities would also strengthen the response. Overall, it's a good start but could use more curiosity and discovery to deepen the conversation.
