Ask for the sale.
For a brief period in my life I worked in sales; bad idea. It's wasn't anything crazy, just shoes (yes I was the Al Bundy of Bloomingdales, can't beat the discount though). Even working with people who typically had no issues throwing down a pretty penny for some overpriced shoes, I have always had an issue with asking for the sale. I didn't really care enough if some Long Island princess got the newest pair of Uggs or not, and so I didn't want to feel like I was pushing people into a sale. There just wasn't any drive or passion behind it, I like my shoes, but I don't love shoes, so I didn't care about the sale of any shoe.
When I talk about my new company, its different. I never feel like I am selling fitness; Fitness sells itself. When ever I meet a new personal training client, I quickly learn what their goals are, and figure out how they are going to achieve it, and then its easy for me to "make a sale", cause it makes itself. My time is valuable to me, otherwise I'd be training everyone for free. I want to see people succeed and achieve their fitness goals. It always makes me think of myself, and how hard I tired to make a difference before I learned how to do it correctly. Im not saying there is a magic potion out there that you can drink and be fit, it takes hard work, but when you don't know how to work with your own body you are gonna always be working harder and not smarter.
My passion and drive is what led me to design the workout programs I did. I want to be able to provide more people with the ability to achieve their fitness goals, at any price point. My clients pay a premium to work with me, because of my background and education, but also because I guarantee them results. I have the educational ability to design affective programs to achieve greatness out of every client or member of any fitness class I teach. I can't make people do the work, but if they push themselves, I will get them results.
This is why Im so excited about Viking Fitness. Viking Fitness is gonna make a difference in the bay area. First we start with our Corporate Wellness Program. Studies have shown that every dollar put into corporate wellness has a return of 13 dollars for the company. We want to be a part of that by offering Lunch Wellness Seminars, Corporate Workout Experience, or our Corporate Workout Challenge, and so much more once we have our facility opened.
The facility would be the next step, providing group fitness, more options for our corporate wellness, and a location for our Trainer Certification process. After our facility gets going we have plans for a non-profit working with youth and young adults, as well so much more! Viking Fitness is gonna be a life changer.
(are you ready for the ask? Here it comes:)
While I know there is a need for my company, and a desire for it, it takes a lot to get everything started. Thats why we have teamed up with Indiegogo to help us get our initial funding needed for things like incorporation, business cards, marketing material, etc.. Its a non-traditional form of capital raising, that allows start up companies, like Viking Fitness, to get the ball rolling. I've set my goal at $5,000.00 and I really need everyones help to reach it. If each of my Facebook followers donated a dollar we'd basically hit our goal, thats just one dollar! if half donated $5 dollars we'd surpass the goal. Every little bit helps, and of course the more you can give, the better. Thank you in advanced for having faith in myself and in my company. Check out the website below.
