For gyms
You already paid for the lead. The tour that never happens is the most expensive empty room in the building.
Show rate is tours that happened divided by tours that were booked. Not "people who seemed serious." Not "people who texted back once." If it was on the calendar, it counts. Eighty percent or better is a healthy tour book. Under 80 percent is worth fixing. Under 60 percent is an emergency, and the emergency is cheaper to fix than another week of ads.
A tour booked for next week gives them seven days to forget why they cared, feel guilty, or find a reason the gym is inconvenient. An automated email does not interrupt that. A human who treats the appointment like it matters does. The other failure is what you do after they miss. One "sorry we missed you" and a deleted reminder is how you throw away a person who already raised their hand.
Split the rate by who booked them. If Instagram tours show at 80 percent and the afternoon front desk shows at 45 percent, you do not have an ad problem. That shift is not confirming. If every channel is under 60 percent, the calendar is too far out or nobody owns confirmation.
Forty booked tours at 50 percent show is 20 conversations. At 80 percent it is 32. If half of live tours join, that is 10 members versus 16, from the same ad spend. On $149 dues held for six months, the gap is real money, and the work was a rule and a person, not a new campaign. The ad math that this plugs into is in Facebook ads for gyms.
Put show rate on the daily sheet next to booked, showed, and joined. Each morning, yesterday's misses are a list with a name on it. If the list is still there at close, the rule is not real. Do not let the team hide a bad rate by only counting tours they felt like running. Booked means booked.
Once they show, the offer has to be ready. A full tour book that all buys the $1 week is a different leak. Fix confirmation first if you are under 60 percent. Then fix the membership offer. People who show and do not join are not no-shows. They belong on the follow-up list.
Run it like a shift duty, not a marketing idea. The opener prints yesterday's misses and today's tours before the first class. Each miss has a text sent before noon with two new times. Each tour today has a confirmation from this morning, even if they confirmed yesterday. If a tour was booked by Instagram at 9 p.m., the morning text still happens. Owners who "personally confirm the important ones" create a second, worse standard. Every booked tour is important or it should not have been booked. At the end of the week, write the show rate on the same board as joins. A week at 85 percent show and a weak join rate means the tour itself is the next fix. A week at 50 percent show means you are not allowed to talk about ads until the list of misses is actually cleared every day.
Eighty percent or higher. Under 60 percent, fix the calendar and the confirmation before you spend more on ads.
If one person on the desk is far below the others on the same kinds of leads, that person is not confirming. If the whole team is low, the booking window is too long.
A card on file can help after the basics work. It will not save a tour that was booked ten days out with no human confirmation. Install the three rules first.
