Do you hate selling at your Pilates studio, but also feel frustrated by missed sales and empty class spots?

Whether you’re a Pilates studio owner or instructor, here’s the truth: you are now in sales. And that’s a good thing!

If you’re:

1. Uncomfortable asking for the sale
2. Losing potential clients after their first class
3. Relying on “vibes” instead of a real sales process
4. Watching leads slip through the cracks with no follow-up
5. Assuming your instructors “just know” how to convert new clients

…this episode is for you.

In this episode, Caroline demonstrates that sales is actually an act of service, not something sleazy or pushy. She shares how to overcome personal hang-ups with sales and walks you through how to overhaul your entire sales process: from first contact to follow-up. She reframes selling as a problem-solving service. It's about energy, genuine care, and an excellent client experience more than having a perfect pitch.

This is for Pilates studio owners, managers and instructors who want to:

1. Increase conversions from intro offers and first classes
2. Build a simple, repeatable sales process for their studio
3. Train instructors to confidently talk about memberships and privates
4. Stop feeling awkward about sales and start seeing it as service
5. Create a client experience that actually turns leads into long-term members
