📊 Help Guide: Pipeline Management in the Gym Growth Engine
Section: Winning Behaviors Topic: Pipeline Management Purpose: To help gym owners keep their sales pipeline updated daily so they can maximize reschedules, track performance, and improve sales conversion rates.
🧠 Why Pipeline Management Is Critical
An updated pipeline is the heartbeat of your lead nurture system. Without daily updates, you:
-
Miss rescheduling opportunities for no-shows and cancellations
-
Lose visibility into who was sold or lost
-
Can’t rely on metrics like schedule rate, show rate, or close rate
-
Don’t know how much front-end cash you've actually collected
📌 If it's not tracked, it doesn't exist. Pipeline hygiene = more reschedules + better decisions + higher ROI.
🗓️ Daily Habit Checklist
⏱️ Block 15 minutes daily
Suggested Times:
Morning: Before the day starts
Evening: Before closing time
| Task | Description |
|---|---|
| 🧹 Check "Unmarked Appointments" stage | Review any past appointments that haven't been updated |
| 🔁 Drag leads into the correct stage | Choose from: No-Showed, Showed - Sold, Showed - Lost, or In Trial |
| 💰 Update sales values | Add actual amount collected (if different from the default program value) |
🎯 Stages You’ll Use
| Pipeline Stage | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Unmarked Appointments | Past appointments that need follow-up |
| No-Showed | Lead didn’t show — they can be rescheduled |
| Showed - Sold | Lead showed up and purchased a program |
| Showed - Lost | Lead showed up but didn’t buy |
| In Trial | Optional stage if you offer trials |
💸 How to Update Opportunity Value
When you move someone to Showed - Sold, you need to ensure the dollar amount reflects what was actually collected.
Steps:
-
After dragging the lead to Showed - Sold, click their card.
-
Look for the Opportunity Value field.
-
If the default value (e.g., $1,299) matches the sale, leave it.
-
If you collected more or less, manually edit that value.
-
Click Update — system will refresh and track that sale accurately.
✅ This keeps your pipeline revenue, cash collected, and sales data spot-on.
🛠️ How to Do It in HighLevel (Step-by-Step)

🧭 Use Data to Guide Strategy
Once your pipeline is accurate, ask:
| Metric | Question to Ask |
|---|---|
| Low Schedule Rate | Do I need more availability or follow-ups? |
| Low Show Rate | Am I confirming appointments correctly? |
| Low Close Rate | Do I need better sales scripting? |
| Low Cash Collected | Am I offering the right pricing packages? |
Use this insight to coach yourself or your team on the skills needed to level up lead nurture and sales.
