 This month Jay Conrad Levinson cuts straight to the bone with his tip on human relations:
We have another 4 tips for you this month:
Your Website Should Generate Leads – does it? This month my good friend Pat Kell from Susan K Bailey shared with me that over 68% of the people who are interested in joining your club will visit your website before they call or visit your club. So what are you doing to find out they are? When a prospect visits your site, you need to not only offer information about your club, but also capture their vital information: email and phone number. If you are not capturing each prospect's information, you are losing hundreds of leads and potential membership sales. This same technology can be used to create automatic contacts with all of the prospects that visit your site. Remember, they came to your site for information. By contacting them and providing personal, health-specific information, you are giving your prospects what they want and standing out from your competition. Your website should be a virtual "sales and marketing powerhouse" that you can update on-demand, at little or no cost, to provide faster service and communication. If you would like us at Active Management to do a website review for just $199 using our comprehensive checklist, drop Justin an email today. Click here May winner was . . .

The winner this month was Rachel from Contours in Christchurch, New Zealand! Thank you to the following for forwarding the E-news:
This month I found some very interesting facts from eMarketer. "Influencers" are people interested in a topic who are trying to spread the word, not just an elite set of people with charisma or sway. The "Understanding Influence, and Making It Work For You: A CNET Networks Study" found that regardless of how connected they were, everyone was interested in about the same number of topics, and that influencers tend to pass along information they consider both unique and trusted. It all comes back to having something worth spreading the word about. Marketers surveyed by Osterman Research for BoldMouth.– a word-of-mouth marketing company – said that satisfied customers, along with great products or services, were the most important things needed to generate word-of-mouth.
And the customers use email to influence others . . .
How powerful are your emails to clients, customers and potential customers? On August 20, 2007 the World will celebrate Personal Training for the first time! World Personal Training Day is an initiative designed to unite Personal Trainers from around the world in the battle against obesity. World Personal Training Day provides and opportunity for Personal Trainers to make a difference to the families, schools and workplaces in their local area by providing motivation and activity. The theme for this year is "Personal Training is the Answer". In 2010, the first of our many Baby Boomers begin retiring but like many other OECD countries we are in fact dis-saving! In 2006, Australians average savings as a proportion of our average household income of #101,400 was -0.6% - including the superannuation levy! And for our Kiwi connection, your dis-saving was -8% of income! In 1976, Australians saved 12.6% of the household income! It is anticipated that by 2010, the retired household will need around $1m and a house worth $500K. Recently, we seem to have moved into more expensive homes, which has increased our household debt to $1trillion – the majority being mortgage debt. So was housing a smart investment: The key for you and your future . . . get quality investment help. All the profits you are making from your business, need to be invested to provide you the best return on your retirement.  This month we officially launch the NSWRT Program. Meetings will be held on the second Thursday of every second month. The first meeting will be held on 12th July. Meetings will be in North Ryde and will run from 9am to 1pm and then lunch afterwards for those who can stay.

To join the NSW Round Table, you must be the owner or a club manager with decision making capabilities. There are no competitors allowed on the one Round Table, so first applicants then determine who can join. Plus there are only 14 members on a Round Table, so there are very limited spaces. NSW Round Table is not the only Round Table available. We also have:
