Now how awesome would it be if our whole gym was filled with “Jackies”? Well, guess what? It can be.

Tomorrow when you see “Jackie,” simply go up to her and say, “Hey Jackie. Just wanted to let you know how awesome you are and how much I appreciate having you at the gym. As you know, we have space for a few new members and I would love for them to be just like you. So, if you have any friends or family members, please refer them to our gym and have them join us for a FREE class. Can you do that for me?"
Of course the answer will be a resounding, “YES." Do this with your top clients and watch them multiply like bunnies. It’s that simple.
