The Business of Boutique Fitness

I’m Lise Kuecker, a long time Studio Owner turned founder here at Studio Grow. Just a few years ago, I was building my studios the hard way cause I didn’t have the team, the budget, or most importantly the time. If you speed up to today, I sold my wildly profitable studios in the mid-7 figures while serving my community in ways I could have only dreamed. Now, I work with thousands of boutique fitness studio owners in over 40 countries and am so blessed to share some of the best tested strategies for our industry every single week. I created this podcast so you’d always have clear, actionable processes, tried and tested Facebook advice and some good ole fashioned inspiration so that you can take simple actionable steps to grow your studio and turn it into a powerhouse empire, just like I did. If you’re a studio owner who's ready to impact your community and see major growth in the process, or you’re prepping to become one, then you are in the right place. So let’s kick this off, shall we?

Y’all,

Is your sales team not quite in sync? 

Like you've got the instruments, but the music just isn't flowing?

That's what Episode 579 is all about—making sure your sales team is more than just a group of people reading from different song sheets.

Here's the breakdown:

  • The Process Puzzle: Trust me, this isn't boring—it's the secret sauce for a killer sales team.
  • Soft Skills Aren't Soft: They're the hidden muscle of your sales game.
  • Emotions in Motion: How understanding feelings can actually up your sales.
  • The Perfect Blend: Mixing hard skills with heart for sales that truly resonate.

Finding the right mix of discipline and flair is like arranging a song. 

You need the structure, but you also need those surprising notes that make it uniquely yours.

If this sounds like the tune-up your sales team needs, don't miss Episode 579

With grit and gratitude,

Lisé
