To become the richest man from the beginning of the game

Chapter 499 I knew I didn't choose the wrong person!

Regarding the current situation of hosting the gym, Pei Qian only has four words.

unacceptable!

Obviously, all the regulations have been posted on the door, and these fitness trainers have been banned from soliciting customers, and they have set such an unreasonable price, and they are bundled with Moyu takeaway...

Even the customers of the original gym have been transferred to other gyms.

Why are there so many customers, why!

Pei Qian was very dissatisfied, and he wanted to ask Guo Licheng what happened.

Guo Licheng had just finished teaching a student, and when he saw Mr. Pei coming in, he hurried over to greet him.

"Boss Pei!" Guo Licheng smiled.

Don't you have to smile, the gym used to be empty and no one cared about it, Guo Licheng could only sit in the rest area besides practicing by himself, it was very boring.

now what?There is work to do!

It was the first time that Guo Licheng felt that there was work to do, and it turned out to be something to be happy about.

When working in other gyms, his daily classes are almost full, but this makes him feel not full, but tired.

This fatigue mainly comes from three aspects:

First of all, personal trainers mainly play the role of supervision and companionship during the training process. After customizing the training plan for the students, they must watch how many bench presses or how many sets of fixed movements the students must do. When the students gradually become familiar with it, Personal training is just watching from the sidelines. It is purely physical work rather than technical work, and there is not much sense of accomplishment.

Secondly, private teachers have to bear the mental pressure of selling lessons at all times during the work process.

In the end, because the schedule is very full, the trainer has no time to exercise. He can only wait for more than an hour in the gym after get off work in the evening. The diet may not be guaranteed well, and he will feel tired over time.

But now, Guo Licheng's previous sense of fatigue is completely gone!

This mode of managed gym does not completely ignore the customers, but teaches flexibly. When the beginners are getting started, they help them correct their movements. After the beginners have fully adapted, the coach does not need to stand aside.

In this way, the time saved by the coach can be used to instruct others, or to practice a little and take a rest.

At the same time, there is no need to think about how to sell courses, and there is no excessive interest relationship with the students. The coach can guide the customers without psychological burden, and the customers don't have to worry that the coach is here for promotion. The relationship between the two will be much more harmonious .

In addition, Moyu Food Delivery provides fitness meals, and hosting gyms does not allow overtime work. These coaches have all been fully rested, and their work is no longer shared by others. They can better enjoy the happiness brought by fitness at work.

Therefore, Guo Licheng and the coaches are all full of energy and motivation.

After I finished my practice, I had nothing to do, so I naturally thought about how to provide better service to customers, and enthusiastically guided those newcomers.

Of course, Pei Qian cannot see this information for the time being.

He could only vaguely feel that Guo Licheng's complexion seemed to be better, and his mental state had also improved.

Pei Qian is obviously more concerned about the profitability of the gym now.

"Why are there so many people in the gym? Didn't I say that you are not allowed to do marketing to attract people? Then where do these customers come from? They can't come here by themselves?" Pei Qian's expression was full of vigilance.

Guo Licheng was a little dazed: "Boss Pei, we really didn't do anything, they really came here by themselves."

"Isn't that what you expected?"

Pei Qian looked blank: "?"

Guo Licheng explained: "It's mainly because of the sign you put up!"

"What happened to the sign?" Pei Qian felt something was wrong instantly.

Guo Licheng explained with some excitement: "Your billboard stands upright, you are too particular about it!"

"We all thought that this signboard would have the effect of dissuading customers, but we didn't expect the opposite. Not only did it not dissuade them, but it attracted a group of people!"

"A student from Handong University passed by our store. Although he was persuaded by the price, he found it very interesting to see the content on the notice board, so he took a photo and sent it to his classmates."

"The rules of our gym made these people feel bright, so it quickly attracted the attention of a group of young people!"

"Of course, the vast majority of people do not intend to consume out of a spectator mentality, but there will always be some customers who are not sensitive to prices, and they will come to experience, that is, the current customers!"

Pei Qian froze.

Only then did he realize that he seemed to have made an empirical mistake!

Before Moyu Internet Cafe put up a notice board at the entrance, it really had an immediate effect. For a long time, everyone left when they saw the price, and Moyu Internet Cafe was ignored.

Later, Moyu Internet Cafe became popular mainly because of Chen Lei, and Chen Lei was attracted to be a resident singer mainly because of Zhang Yuan, which had nothing to do with the signboard.

Therefore, Pei Qian has always felt that placing the sign at the door is a good way to dissuade customers.

But now he suddenly realized that Moyu Internet Cafe and the notice board in the gym have different contents!

The billboard of Moyu Internet Cafe has prices written on it, including online prices and beverage prices. After seeing it, customers will only feel that it is expensive, and they will not find it novel, and they will have no desire to share or spread it.

But the billboard for hosting fitness is written about the fee model, which is not only expensive, but also includes bundled sales of fitness meals, mandatory fitness plans, etc.

After seeing it, the first reaction of customers is not that the price is very expensive, but that this model is very interesting!

Because that's not what other gyms do.

Such a maverick regulation will certainly spark discussion, and some curious people will naturally take a look.

That is to say, there is no problem with the notice board at the entrance of Moyu Internet Cafe, but there is a problem with the notice board at the entrance of Hosting Fitness, and it is a big problem!

Pei Qian, who realized his mistake, turned pale, and said in silence for a moment, "Remove the sign."

Guo Licheng thought for a while: "Mr. Pei, you mean that the news has spread initially, and the purpose of attracting nearby customers has been achieved. Remove the billboards to further attract more customers?"

Pei Qian: "..."

You can't put it on, you can't withdraw it, so what kind of trouble is it?

Pei Qian decided not to dwell on this issue any more, and said with a little melancholy: "So... you won't tell me that the gym is going to turn a profit, right?"

Guo Licheng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "Turn losses into profits? Boss Pei, you are too optimistic. How can you get there?"

"I mean, Managed Fitness is in a good place right now, it's a step up from where it started, but it's too early to say it's going to turn around."

"You can see that there seem to be a lot of people now, but don't forget, today is Sunday."

"Sunday is the peak flow of people in the gym. If it is the daytime on a weekday, the gym will become very deserted."

Hearing this, Pei Qian breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like there is no limit to the road.

It's ok, ok, scare me!

It made me think I was going to make a profit, but really, it was a false alarm.

Pei Qian really wanted to drink something, but there was no tea or coffee in the gym, only pure water, so he had to grab a glass of water and drink it casually to calm his nerves.

Thinking about it carefully, if there are only a little more people on Sundays and it is still deserted on weekdays, it seems acceptable.

After all, the gym itself has complete equipment and the coach is in charge. Even if the price is unreasonable, there will always be some customers who are not sensitive to prices.

As long as there are fewer such customers and the profit cannot support the expenses, then it will be fine.

Pei Qian relaxed a little.

But then he became wary again.

Although it is still far from being profitable, it is not a problem that there are so many people in the gym on weekends. It is easy to create a false impression that "the gym is very popular".

Absolutely not!

Pei Qian feels that the gym's current persuasion model is not perfect, and he should work harder to get a multiple insurance, so that he can feel at ease.

But how to do it... Pei Qian himself has no good ideas.

He decided to ask Guo Licheng.

"Is there a way to reduce the number of people who come to the gym on weekends?"

Guo Licheng was stunned for a moment: "Mr. Pei, you mean to optimize the passenger flow according to the carrying capacity of the gym, so that resources can be more fully utilized and provide customers with a better experience?"

Pei Qian was silent for two seconds: "...about the same."

Guo Licheng showed a surprised expression: "I wanted to report this matter to you before, but I didn't expect you to take the initiative to ask."

"It seems that you also have a deep understanding of the operation mode of the gym!"

"Actually, this problem is also common in other gyms."

Pei Qian asked curiously, "Oh? Then how did they solve it?"

Guo Licheng said: "They didn't solve it. That's why I was hesitating whether to report this matter to you."

"Other gyms don't care about the actual number of people in the gym as long as they cheat customers to sign up for the card. Sometimes during peak periods, such as weekends, the entire gym is completely overcrowded. Queues, even queues to take a shower.”

"At this time, it is completely dependent on customers' self-adjustment', actively waiting in line, or picking a time when there are few people. But even so, most customers have no choice and can only come on weekends."

"Some customers don't want to come to the gym because there are too many people, and it's even in their hands. Anyway, the annual card payment has been paid, and the gym wishes you not to come."

"So, it's a general problem."

Pei Qian nodded: "Then how do you think this problem can be solved?"

Guo Licheng hesitated for a moment, and said: "To be honest, I have thought of a solution, but the cost is a bit high, and customers may not be able to accept it..."

Pei Qian's eyes lit up. Didn't you say that there is such a good way?

"Speak quickly!" Pei Qian tried his best to maintain a calm expression.

Guo Licheng paused, and said: "The number of people a gym can accommodate is limited, and this cannot be changed. Therefore, in order to ensure the fitness experience of customers, we can only limit the number of people."

"I think it is possible to develop an app that allows customers to make appointments according to their own time every day. When the number of appointments in the current period is full, a certain limit will be imposed on the number of people."

"This method is not feasible for other gyms, because everyone has an annual card, and customers are not allowed to come. Customers will feel that their own interests have been damaged, and they will definitely not agree."

"But our gym charges by the day, and we will specify detailed fitness plans for customers, so when making fitness plans, we can roughly distribute customers to different time periods according to their free time."

"If the weekend is full, then we can only accept customers who come to the gym at other times."

"However, developing an app should cost money, and the outsourced app may not be reliable. If a bunch of bugs are made and it is difficult to use, it will be troublesome. And customers may not understand our policy. Maybe they will scold us instead."

"In addition, we must have a special person responsible for coordinating and planning the fitness time of all students, and arrange them reasonably, otherwise it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among customers..."

Pei Qian raised his hand: "Okay, stop talking."

Guo Licheng thought Mr. Pei felt that this plan was not feasible, so he quickly shut up.

However, Mr. Pei's eyes shone brightly: "Do it, do it right away!"

"Isn't it just an app? I'll arrange it!"

The method Guo Licheng said made Pei Qian very satisfied.

Making an APP can cost more money, and forcing consumers to use the APP to make an appointment to go to the gym can persuade a group of people to leave, and let a special person be responsible for coordinating the planning of fitness time, arranging the fitness plan of the students, and paying an extra salary.

After doing so much work, the final result is only to slightly divert the crowd during the peak period, saving a little time for customers who come during the peak period, and improving the experience a little bit.

This price/performance ratio is so low that it explodes!

Pei Qian couldn't help but appreciate the look in Guo Licheng's eyes.

This is definitely a workable material!

I knew that the store manager who chose you as the gym did not choose the wrong person!
