 Hey coach, how's it going my name is Ben neighbors. I'm the creator here at build my sports biz comm So today I'm gonna be open up the mail bag I got two questions from basketball coaches who have been wondering about how they can grow their business All right, so I'm gonna show you two questions here, and we're gonna just gonna move on from there All right, and if you're a basketball trainer make sure and subscribe to this channel I've had tons of basketball coaches who've been listening to our podcast throw my email newsletter If you are a basketball trainer you want to grow your business definitely stay tuned what we're doing going forward All right, so here's question one so question one comes from a guy named Chris and Chris asked me. Hey, Ben What is the easiest way for me to grow my client base and for me? All right, it's a very simple question to answer All right, if you're trying to grow your client base you have to look internally with who you're training Right, I always look at my clients. Alright, I'm a soccer trainer. It's the same though It's the same type of relationship between my clients and you and your clients I look at whoever I'm training. These are people who know like and trust me. They're already in my program They're already getting great results those clients know so many other potential clients that I could be training Right, so I'm gonna go to my clients first and ask for referrals That is the easiest way to grow your business is through referrals of Clients who you're already training right and that is simple to do at your next session I want you to sit down with them for five minutes and chat with them about how you want to grow your business How you want to help more players and who do they know that can Potentially come into your program try to get phone numbers try to get emails try to do whatever you can So you can start reaching out to new potential clients based on the clients that you're already training Right now the second question. I got This is from a guy named Paul and Paul asked me hey, Ben. What is the easiest way for me to set up my basketball camps? Right, and this is very similar to soccer too. I see a lot of basketball and soccer in any sports trainers I see them do this they will set up a camp on their website and then they'll show up to their camp and All the clients who said that they were gonna come Don't show up or there's clients who show up But they don't pay or they're trying to pay in cash or pay by check And that leaves you as the person who's collecting money at the camp that you're doing I learned this the hard way when I had my website set up for clients What would happen was my clients would would show up on the website They'd register and then they wouldn't bring their child to the clinic or they would bring their child And they'd have to pay me cash or check which is very confusing For a lot of parents some parents are gonna forget money some parents will short you money Some parents will tell you that they want to pay you later and this started happening all the time I've lost thousands of dollars because of that and that was my fault. It wasn't their fault That was just the way I had my business set up So now that is the old way of doing things and I see so many trainers still do that They still do that process and what you want to do is you want to run your business like a boss And here's how you should be doing it. So step one You want to have your website set up? So what I like to tell coaches that I consult with I show every coach this simplest way of doing this You want to have a landing page on your website? You want to have a way where parents can register online this way? They pay before they show up and this will streamline the process between the clients You have and the camp that you have and this way you can automate the way that you do your camps It is the easiest way possible and I always recommend the same exact software. I use it's called kajabi I have a discount for you if you go down In the description, you'll be able to see my resources tab go click on that and you can get kajabi That will set up your email newsletter That'll set up all your camp pages that'll set up your entire payment process It is such an easy way to run camps clinics and even private training group training in the future And that will automate this process because I see so many questions all the time from coaches in every sport They're complaining. They're saying Ben. I try to put on these camps, but no one's showing up Or I put on these camps and no one's paying that is a fundamental problem That you have set up right now, right? And you can change that and you can transition into running this like a real business by having things set up automated online So guys, I hope this helps you out if you're a basketball coach or any coach who found value in this Make sure and like the video subscribe to our channel comment below if you have any questions And like I said, I'm engaging with coaches every single day on Facebook Find our Facebook link below in the description click on that like the page I have a daily video that goes out there and that's where I'm responding to coaches all the time If they have questions for me.
