Is it limiting beliefs? Paradigms and our own perception of Xmas? Why aren’t personal trainers receiving more of the money society is spending?It is simply a matter of educating people on the opportunities to purchase PT and group training packages as Xmas gifts for friends, family or even themselves.The key is to look after your clients and give them gifts and offer promotions and incentives.Gift voucher, idea number 1:Create 2 vouchers to give to each of your clients with 3 free PT sessions for the holder and a friend and the value, eg if you charge $50 per session then the voucher value will be $300.
