I am so excited because tonight starts my three day vacation with my family. Every year we try and make it down to the Dallas Arboretum to spend some time relaxing and taking in the beautiful flowers and scenario that the Arboretum has to offer. This brings me to my point of discussion today and that is with the Easter weekend upon us we need to take some time and reflect upon what we have be doing the last 12 weeks and open our eyes and take in what is going on around us. If you were smart, which I know if you are reading this you are, then I know that you have been going full tilt the last 3 months because these first three months of the year can really make a difference in your business. However, it is now time to relax and renew your strengths for the next 3 months. We all need rest and recovery and I hope you will take this holiday weekend to reflect on your goals and the good you are doing in people’s lives. I wish you a healthy and happy Easter and I will see you next week!

Anatomy of Sales

Do you believe you are selling yourself everyday regardless of your profession? I do, and I have written the book “Anatomy of Sales” to help fitness professionals and personal trainers realize that everyday a sale takes place within your organization or with prospects, and if you want to be successful in your career then you need to master the art of sales. 

So, what will you learn by reading this book?

  • How to close your prospect?
  • How to make people realize they need you?
  • Why they don’t sign up after you explained the benefits?
  • How to change ‘maybe’ to “YES – I’LL START TOMORROW!”
Also within its contents, you’ll learn:
  • How to trigger your prospects to make on-the-spot decisions to hire you.
  • Overcome fear of price rejection.
  • The 5 major reasons people will buy training sessions from you.
  • Setting SMART goals to create a realistic six-figure income.
  • How to build a ‘buzz’ about your fitness training services.
  • How to cherry-pick the right clients who WANT and NEED personal training.
  • Undiscovered new technologies that will help grow your business.
I can promise you that I wrote this book with the fitness professional in mind and I know that the last thing you want to be referred to as is a “Sales” person. So, if you want to learn how to master the art of sales through a new approach then check out my book.
Please let me know if you have any questions or want some more info about the book.

More about me

 

Okay, so here is a little more about me. I am a husband (9 years), father of 2 ( I have a 3 year old and a 5 month old). Yes, I am getting sleep again! Thanks for asking! Hehe! Also, I am currently the Fitness Director at the Cooper Fitness Center at Craig Ranch. I have been in the fitness industry since graduating from the University of Florida. My initial start was as a personal trainer at a small private personal training studio in Orlando. After eight months I moved to Dallas and worked as a personal trainer and manager for the Premier Athletic Club in Dallas. It was around this time that I began to grow a passion for managing and business. I acted on that passion and went back to school and graduated with an MBA from the University of Texas at Dallas.

Enough bio let’s get to the fun stuff. I love College football or let’s say Gator Football! Living in Texas has made me acquire a love for Tex-mex. Don’t worry mom, my favorite is still your Italian meatballs!

I started to read more once I graduated from school. My goal is to get to the point that I can read one book a week for a whole year.

I can’t get enough of reading, listening, and learning from self-help gurus.

I have been trying, unsuccessfully as of this writing, to invest in stocks.

I love to travel. I have been to Germany and Ireland but have Italy on my bucket list. Also, my goal is to visit every state. So far I am half way there!

Favorite movie is Gladiator and Remember the Titans.

Have an interest in politics or at least I used to! Not so sure anymore with all the bickering back and forth.

I Love my family and friends!

Finally, I  am really excited about this blog and helping people.

Say tuned for more!
