The Fallacy of High Ticket
Manage episode 485179463 series 2971228
What if the offer that promises to save your gym… ends up quietly destroying it from the inside out?
High-ticket programs can seem like a dream – sell a few big packages, bring in thousands of dollars fast, and feel like you’ve finally cracked the code. But in reality, they often come with way more work than expected.
Delivering those offers often means taking on a bunch of extra work: detailed nutrition plans, one-on-one coaching calls, sometimes even going to clients’ homes or walking them through grocery store trips.
That’s a full-time job on its own – and it usually ends up on the owner’s plate.
Meanwhile, your day-to-day gym operations still need your attention. But with your focus pulled in a new direction, the systems that keep your business running start to fall behind. What looked like a big win at first starts to create more stress than success.
If you’ve ever taken on a high-ticket offer – or are thinking about it – this episode will give you a clearer picture of what really happens behind the scenes.
