Show Notes

“It’s too expensive.” Too many fitness studios hear this objection, and too many fitness studios struggle to overcome it. With this 10 minute sales role play, you’re going to be blown away by this quick-fix training…

Before I get into it, and I know to many of you I sound like a broken record but it’s important:

Do NOT combat this objection with something like, “Well how much do you spend on a cup of coffee every day?” That’s a lost sale.

Alright, ready?

From Novice To Fitness Studio Sales Master In One 10 Minute Sales Role Play

Ok, that’s a little dramatic, but this is pretty awesome and something you need to start doing with your fitness studio sales team in just 10 minutes a day, every single day.

I took my cousin and put him on the spot. This is a guy with no sales experience and no fitness studio experience. He works in the tile industry. I pulled him in, taught him the ultimate sales script to overcome the “It’s too expensive” objection, and in minutes…

BOOM! He got it down and could’ve closed more memberships that day if he wanted to. Now, imagine your team, with experience, doing this exercise, role-playing scripts and objections, for just 10 minutes every single day?

“The better and more comfortable your team gets at scripts, the more they’ll sell.”

That’s about an hour per week, roughly 4 hours per month, and 48 hours per year. Think they’ll be pretty good at overcoming objections and booking more memberships?

Yep, of course they will.

The Fitness Studio “It’s Too Expensive” Objection Sales Script

Prospect: “It’s too expensive.”
You: “Isn’t that why you should do it?”
Prospect: “What do you mean?”
You: “[NAME], let me ask you a question. Did you have a good workout?”

Prospect: “Yes.”

You: “And since we spoke last, [GOAL] is really important to you. Is it still important to you?”

Prospect: “Yes.”

You: “And when you were out there, doing the workout, meeting other members, do you believe that this is the place that will help get you to [GOAL]?”

Prospect: “I think so, yeah.”

You: “[NAME], when’s the last time you bought something that you believed was too expensive, but you did it anyway? A car, a vacation, a TV… “

Prospect: “My car.”

You: “Did you like it?”

Prospect: “Yeah.”

You: “Did you return it?”

Prospect: “No.”

You: “Did it make you go bankrupt? Were you living on the street after buying it? Or did you figure it out?”

Prospect: “No, I figured it out.”

You: “Of course, because you’re the type of person that can figure it out. So, at the end of the day, if this allows you to get to [GOAL], could you figure it out?”

Prospect: “Yeah, I think so.”

You: “So let’s do this. Let’s get you in here, let’s help you [GOAL] – that’s the most important thing – and we can figure the rest out. The reason this is expensive is because it’s good and that’s why you deserve it. Make sense?”

Prospect: “Yeah.”

The better and more comfortable your team gets at scripts, the more they’ll sell.
