📘 9 Sales Choreography Tips to Increase Close Rates
Purpose: This doc outlines 9 actionable tactics to optimize your sales choreography — the sequence, structure, and environment of your gym's in-person sales process. These techniques aim to boost client trust, perceived authority, and closing percentage.
🧠 Key Concept: Sales Choreography
Sales choreography is the intentional structure of how you guide prospects through the sales experience — from the front desk to the final offer. Similar to a doctor’s office, this sequence builds perceived expertise and authority, making clients more likely to say yes.
🎯 3 Primary Goals of Sales Choreography:
-
Build Know, Like, and Trust
-
Establish you as a Caring Authority
-
Communicate that the client’s Dream Outcome is not only attainable — it’s likely
✅ 9 Tactics to Boost Sales Through Sales Choreography:

Keep all past appointment sheets stacked under the current day’s sign-in.
-
Creates the illusion of high demand (like a busy restaurant with a line outside).
-
-
Use a Pre-Sale Questionnaire
-
Discovery form: goals, past attempts, struggles.
-
Mimics medical intake forms → makes process feel official.
-
Template included in resources.

Weigh-ins, body scans, or basic health markers.

Floor-to-ceiling success photos help overcome doubt.

Use visual proof to back up your pitch without words.

Sit Side-by-Side (Not Across)
