The five workflows every industry shares
The same five run in all 27 industries. What changes for fitness studio is the overlay: the records, the stages and the words. How it works.
The Fitness Studio overlay: Members, Memberships, Trials, Classes, Check-ins. Stages: Trial Inquiry → Free Trial Scheduled → Trial Completed → Membership Offered → Member Enrolled → Renewal Due.
Intake and triage
Every call, text, email and form becomes a trial on the member's record, with who, why and the next step. A fixed ladder of rules sorts it before any model is asked.
Touches: Opens the membership at Trial Inquiry.
Follow-up
Moves each membership forward and writes down why each move happened. Chases the memberships that have gone quiet, and stops when a person says stop.
Touches: Trial Inquiry to Renewal Due, one stage at a time.
Scheduling
Books the visit, call or appointment on the calendar and on the membership, sends the confirmation and the reminder, and reschedules when the member asks.
Touches: The calendar and the membership.
Quoting
Prepares the quote from your price book or template, sends it once a person approves it, and follows up until it is answered.
Touches: Trials and the membership.
Reporting
Each day, what each agent did and what it proposed, built from the log of every action it took. Nothing is reported that was not recorded.
Touches: The record, read back to you.
