In this special bonus episode, we shine a warm spotlight on Kathryn Raats from Western Australia, who has transformed her music studio into a thriving success. Kathryn reveals how she cracked the code on converting her leads during our recent Enrol-A-Thon, and why texting leads outperformed emails by a mile! Discover the power of capturing contact info, nurturing your leads with a well-crafted sequence, and how automation through CRM software can work wonders.
Kathryn also opens up about the challenges that come with a sudden influx of leads, and how implementing systems, templates, and even a relief pool of teachers helped her manage the growth and retain students. From overcoming overwhelm to creating a business model that truly works year-round, Kathryn's story is a must-listen for any studio owner looking to take their studio to the next level.
If you're ready to be inspired by a fellow studio owner who’s done it all with heart, hustle, and a whole lot of strategy, this episode is for you!
