this is an excerpt from my foundational sales letter which talks about our MAIN way of making our clients more money than before they started working with us.
DISCLAIMER: I did NOT come up with this technique.
just like every BJJ technique, I learned it from those before me who proved it in the real world.
@Alex Hormozi created this framework for offers in big box gyms, and it has been proven to work within the jiu-jitsu space as well, simply because it employs a value-driven, market-agnostic offer.
"how to grow your academy without upfront marketing costs
one of the most powerful strategies we employ is the self-funded growth plan.
this innovative approach allows you to grow your BJJ academy by using revenue from a special, high-value offer to fund your advertising.
instead of relying on low-cost trial classes that barely cover ad expenses, we help you create compelling offers that attract committed students and self-fund your marketing efforts.
how it works:
1. create a high-value offer
we assist you in crafting irresistible offers that provide exceptional value to new students.
here are some ideas that we have proven to work:
- beginner's boost program ($500-$800): a 4-week introductory course for newcomers. small class sizes for personalized attention. includes a free gi (uniform) and belt. and one private lesson each week. access to exclusive online training videos. (we help you set this up within matmatch 2.0)
- private lesson package ($600-$1,000): a series of one-on-one sessions with a top instructor. personalized training plans to achieve specific goals. nutritional and fitness guidance.
2. targeted advertising
we design and deploy engaging ads that highlight your special offers:
- precise audience targeting: reach individuals interested in martial arts, self-defense, fitness, or personal development. focus on those living near your academy.
- compelling value proposition: emphasize the exclusivity and limited availability of your offer. showcase why it's a superior deal compared to standard memberships.
- social proof: include testimonials from students who have benefited from similar programs.
3. self-funding mechanism
here's how the numbers can work in your favor:
- day 1: ad spend: $100
- leads generated: 10
- sign-ups: 2 (20% conversion rate)
- revenue: $1,200 ($600 per sign-up)
- profit after ads: $1,100
- scaling up: as you reinvest the profits, your ad spend can increase, leading to more leads and higher revenue. with consistent conversion rates, higher ad spend equates to exponential growth.
4. seamless implementation
- staff training: we provide scripts and training materials to ensure your team confidently presents the offer and handles inquiries.
- streamlined sign-up process: we set up online registration and payment systems for a frictionless experience.
- exceptional delivery: by exceeding expectations, you encourage positive word-of-mouth and increase the likelihood of long-term memberships.
5. ongoing optimization
- data tracking: monitor key metrics like cost per lead, conversion rates, and customer acquisition cost.
- continuous improvement: we test and refine ad creatives, messaging, and landing pages to maximize performance.
why this strategy works:
- immediate cash flow: generates upfront revenue to cover advertising costs and improve cash reserves.
- attracts serious students: higher-priced offers appeal to individuals committed to their training journey.
- differentiates your academy: unique programs set you apart from competitors.
- additional revenue streams: opportunities for upselling and referrals from satisfied participants."
