💰 Gym Up-sells, Fitness Down-sells, and Fitness Business Cross-sells

Do you want fries with that? How about supplements with that workout plan? Or a macro guide with your next training package?

Love them, hate them, or secretly crave them (no judgments), you have to admire the king of the up-sell and the cross-sell. The phrase “would you like fries with that?” is estimated to account for a whopping 15-40% of McDonald’s annual profits. (Or, “would you like poutine with that?” for our Canadian fitness friends).

Dave Smith, chosen as Canada’s top fitness professional (More Canadian friends! 💪), estimates that he left over $100k on the table before learning how to effectively use up-sells and cross-sells. 

“As a business owner, you have to maximize every single sale you make. Don’t settle for the obvious sale. Go deeper.​ This is where upsells and cross-sells come into play. Both can help you multiply your earnings per sale by 100, 200, or even 266% (like they have done for me).” – Dave Smith, Increase Revenue by 266% with Effective Upsells and Cross-Sells

“Before I came across Exercise.com, the process I used to try and communicate a program with an athlete long distance was extremely cumbersome. Those days are long gone, and I look forward to providing professional, clean, organized, and effective programs to clients for years to come.”
