fitness franchisesHow to wire it

Fitness franchises wire intro → member vs ghost, not a binder at the front deskDay 7–21 after intro predicts member vs lapse. Club WhatsApp is not that clock.

HQ has a membership story. Clubs have intro offers in a binder and cancellations in 'we'll call them'. This vertical wires intro booked/showed, day-7–21 check-ins that write GHL, lapse as a stage, failed payments with a human save, and reviews after session three — locked so HQ can see which clubs actually convert intros.

The short version

Intern through CEO

HQ has a membership story. Clubs have intro offers in a binder and cancellations in 'we'll call them'. This vertical wires intro booked/showed, day-7–21 check-ins that write GHL, lapse as a stage, failed payments with a human save, and reviews after session three — locked so HQ can see which clubs actually convert intros.

  1. 01

    The weekly HQ number is intro show rate and intro-to-member by club, using locked stages. Binders do not roll up.

  2. 02

    Front-desk WhatsApp will try to be the CRM. Snapshot puts Conversations on the contact or HQ is blind.

  3. 03

    Failed membership payments are dunning plus a human at the club, not a corporate 'we miss you' email with a coupon that trains cancel.

  4. 04

    Reviews after they have trained, not a QR while they pay the intro. Unhappy private.

  5. 05

    Local intro offers can vary. The stages cannot.

Who

Same system. Three jobs.

Read your row

Intern

What you actually do

Show states and day-7 blanks. You are not designing a challenge T-shirt.

Operator

What you protect

Intro clock. Member vs ghost. Failed pay human. Reviews after session three. WhatsApp is not the file.

CEO

What you refuse to fund

Clubs that cannot name intro-to-member are not running the brand. That conversion is the HQ number.

Wire

How to connect it

Objects, then edges

Intro offer event, show, trial member vs paid member, lapse stage, failed payment, day-7 and day-21 fields, club location, HQ conversion %, WhatsApp demotion.

  1. 01

    Intro book → GHL; show/no-show same day

  2. 02

    Showed → day-7 check-in task or auto; status trial

  3. 03

    Joined → member; intro acquire stops

  4. 04

    Lapse/cancel/fail pay → save path; not a brand blast

Steps

Do this in order

Why, then done when
  1. 01

    Lock intro jobs

    Booked, showed, no-show, joined, lost. Clubs cannot rename.

    Why: HQ conversion otherwise is folklore.

    Done when: Permissions test.

  2. 02

    Write show the same day

    Attendance or staff tag. No-show recover.

    Why: Ghost intros are paid Facebook.

    Done when: Yesterday’s intros have a show state.

  3. 03

    Day-7 and day-21 objects

    Fields or tasks. HQ can see incomplete check-ins.

    Why: This window is the business.

    Done when: A trial without day-7 is a ticket.

  4. 04

    Lapse stage

    Not 'we’ll call them'. Save path. Failed pay separate if needed.

    Why: Unnamed lapse is how churn hides.

    Done when: Lapse count by club.

  5. 05

    Demote club WhatsApp as record

    Official number or GHL SMS. Personal phones not the membership file.

    Why: Hostage SIMs.

    Done when: A test intro thread exists on the contact.

What an intern at HQ should wire first

Intro stages locked. Yesterday’s intros: show state. Day-7 blanks listed. One club WhatsApp vs GHL check. Conversion definition on one page.

What the franchisor should refuse

More intro ad spend, a new challenge month, or a corporate app until intro-to-member by club is real. Spend into ghost intros is a tax.

The usual failure

HQ membership story. Club binder. WhatsApp cancellations. No day-7. Reviews at till. That is a franchise logo on local folklore.

The weekly number

Intro show rate and intro-to-member by club, day-7 coverage on trials. Locked definitions.

Why

Questions people actually ask

Pushback is normal

Clubs are busy at the desk.

Then the snapshot must make show and day-7 one tap, not a novel. Busy is why you lock objects, not why you skip them.

Each club’s intro is different.

Offer names local. Jobs locked. HQ still counts show and join.

Can we use the gym software only?

If it writes HQ-visible intro/member/lapse, maybe. If it is a binder plus a gate system, GHL is the journey layer.

This week

This week: lock intro jobs, same-day show, day-7 coverage, lapse named. No new challenge calendar.
