    Word-of-mouth Isn't Enough

    Word-of-mouth Isn't Enough

    I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve heard coaches and club managers say something along the lines of “word-of-mouth is the only marketing we need”.
    Well, I think they’re wrong. In fact, unless they’re in the 1% of clubs and coaches in the world, they should definitely be proactive with their marketing and not rely on word-of-mouth alone.
    In this episode I explain exactly why word-of-mouth isn’t enough and what you should be doing instead.

    Player Lifetime Value

    Player Lifetime Value

    How much is each player worth to you and your tennis coaching programme or club?And I don't mean from a sentimental or subjective point of view. I mean from an objective $ or £ perspective.
    Building strong, longstanding relationships with players is key for the success of any tennis club or coaching business. And the best objective measure of how successful you are at building these types of relationships is customer lifetime value.
    In this episode I explain what customer lifetime value is, why it's important to track it and how to actually calculate it.

    Measuring Player Retention

    Measuring Player Retention

    In our industry, player retention is key. We all know this and work towards keeping people in the sport for life and ideally at our clubs and coaching programmes for years or even decades.
    But from my experience, even though we know that player retention is important, most of us don't measure it consistently. So, in this episode I address this. I will show you how easy it is to measure customer retention by measuring two simple metrics: customer churn and average customer lifespan.

Great Podcasts

I really like these short podcasts which are packed with knowledge and useful information. There is no padding out here. Every word counts and each podcast is packed with business advice and pointers that many coaches will never have considered. David has great business knowledge and is an inspirational character in every sense of the word. Highly recommended.
