Your first session with a new client determines whether or not there is a second session. It can be stressful and feel like a lot of pressure trying to meet the expectations of someone you don’t know. Ultimately it’ll either be a good fit or it won’t and it’s ok if it’s not. It’s still important to put your best face forward and have a plan in place so that starting with a new client is smooth and stress-free for you (and them).
In this episode we talk about:
*What to do before the first session so that time is maximized.
*Possible first session package ideas to stretch out the potential for results.
*What a first session might include, the possible layout.
*Using fitness assessments and how they fit in (or don’t).
*Why some clients don’t come back again even if you did your best.

So, true Erin. It’s okay to lose a client.
