Greg C., glad to hear it you're already getting clients man! - you'll find details on that in the two SALES chapters of the TLT - if you have any specific questions, let me know.

Just got back from a week in Florida to recharge the battery and get refocused. Quick question....I started posting craiglist ads for getting clients and got 2 responses so I emailed them back. My question is whats the best way to convert these people from sending me an email in which they ask for pricing to actually meeting with them for an initial consultation. Good Post Kaiser!

I could tell you were a smart guy and now I know why...that's a tough degree to obtain. Also, a quick reminder to Jeff...I know I've pounded this point home several times on this blog, but don't forget the importance of client retention. It costs up to ten times as much to get new clients as it does to retain current ones. Remember, it's all about them (your client) when you're training. Really listen to what your client is saying. Too many trainers just go through the motions of being a trainer. Here's an article I wrote for PFP magazine that will give you some helpful tips to build and maintain client / trainer relationships. http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/rbpublishing/pfp_200908/#/22 Kaiser, Pharmacy School huh?
