Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Dance Business Q and A
Q: Studio isn't making any money, how can I fix it?
Increase prices annually to keep pace with rising costs, consider an annual membership to cover fixed costs like licenses and insurance, and shift the mindset from selling a class to selling value, including health, confidence, and community.
Dance Business Q and A
Q: Paid trials are free. Is that acceptable, or should trials be paid?
Trials should be paid for, with a minimum of two weeks, to ensure commitment and proper evaluation of the class and community; paid trials also tend to convert better and can drive higher overall trial bookings when offered to existing customers.
You aren't behind, you're just stuck!
Q: What do you think dance business owners underestimate about being fully supported as they grow within a community like ours?
Sarah-Marie mentioned the reassurance and motivation that come from seeing peers in the community achieving results, which makes members realize that their growth is also possible.
You aren't behind, you're just stuck!
Q: What had to change in how you were leading to get that growth and for it to be sustainable?
Sarah-Marie emphasized the importance of taking intentional action, having clear daily goals, and establishing systemized processes for team management.
Building more without DOING more!
Q: What does protecting your time look like?
It involves having clarity and communication within my team so they understand roles and expectations.
