How to Up-Sell Fitness Clients Using Groupon or Living Social Vouchers

I've recently had the pleasure of coaching team of personal trainers who are about to launch a Living Social campaign for their very own unique one-hour training system.   The most common question I received was "how do we tell all these new customers about our products and services during this initial visit?"


My response raised a few eyebrows:  "You don't."

That's the beauty of leveraging the power of the voucher number!  By inviting your new Living Social voucher toting customers to come back for a 3-Pack (three more visits) at the same voucher rate, you automatically hyper charge your one hour with new clients to four!  And the best part is: they're paying you the whole time to showcase all your stuff!


Step 1:  Invite them to double or triple their voucher deal by letting them know they get to buy up to 3 more times at the low voucher rate by allowing you to plug in their unique voucher number in your system, upon check out.

Step 2:  Use the first visit simply to explore their wants and needs (don't tell them all about everything you have to offer).  This will catch them by surprise because they most likely expect you to try to tell them all about everything you have to offer during this first visit.  In my online training program, I call this step "discovering wants and needs" to gather bullets.

Step 3: When they come back to see you on their 2nd visit (because they bought two or three more using their voucher number), repeat back their bullet points and ask them permission to show them something you have that might be of interest to them.  

You will not only get a grateful "yes" because you remembered what they shared, you're actually now getting permission to show and sell your greatest new toy, service or program.  Best part?  Your client feels ZERO sales pressure!  In fact they will actually thank you for taking the time to tell them more about what you have to offer.  

Why Groupon Inspired Email Marketing Makes the Phone Ring Instantly

There's a lot of chatter out there about the need to get back to "high touch, high trust" selling when it comes down to retaining customers for our small businesses.  And for the record, I'm all about the relationship based long term client, but there's no denying that the internet has very much changed the consumer's buying behavioral patterns.  Would you agree?

So when coaching clients on ways to get the quickest return on invest (ROI) from their email broadcasts, I simply ask them WWGD?  That's "What Would Groupon Do?" for those folks that are thinking about ways to make their email blasts produce instant sales from their ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) consumer base. 

It's not that consumers are really ADD.  It's that we as a culture have evolved into an instant gratification purchasing pattern that is nurtured by the Groupon, Living Social vendors.  So why not meet those customers on that level, rather than try to ask them to re-learn traditional spending methods?  Proof it works?  I've now executed over 300 e-mail campaigns in the last 24 months for just a hand full of these more progressive thinking clients.  Their average click through rates are 36% or higher and have they generated over $2M in new sales JUST using this method. 

If over 80% of your Groupon customers are just looking for the next deal why not  simply embrace becoming the business to give it to them?  In my opinion, if you don't, your competition just might.  Thoughts?

The Groupon Instant Up-Sale by Voucher Number Technique

Most small business merchants simply accept the voucher number, plug it into the Groupon merchant center and "hope" this new client will buy more simply because they enjoyed their experience.   The problem is there is no urgency or immediate reason for the client to buy it today or buy it NOW.

Getting clients to buy more on the spot is not hard if you know how to add a small amount of urgency with finesse.   Here's a quick EZ technique I tech.  I call it:

Leveraging the Power of the Voucher Number

Step 1:  Ask the client if they knew they could "do more" with their voucher number.  Here's Ms. HowYouSayIt to help you with the words.

Step 2:  The client needs to check out with their voucher number and it can only be used once, right?  So basically, they can take advantage of their discount upon check out or not, but they don't get to think about it or use it later because you tell them your "system is simply not set up that way."  

Give it a try and watch your sales double on the spot!
