Enquiry response and trial booking
Instant response with real class availability, trial booked, joining process started.

The honest position: two numbers run a fitness business — trial conversion and churn. Both are decided by contact that currently doesn’t happen: the enquiry nobody answered, and the member who stopped attending six weeks before they cancelled.
Last updated:
Attendance drops off. Then, eventually, a cancellation. The gap between those two events is where a save was possible and nobody noticed, because nobody’s job is watching attendance patterns across a few thousand members.
Meanwhile enquiries arrive at 10pm from people who just decided to change something about their life, and get a reply on Monday when the impulse has passed.
Instant response with real class availability, trial booked, joining process started.
Structured follow-up through the trial period, with the conversation happening at the moments that matter rather than on day fourteen.
Drop-off detected early, outreach triggered while a save is still possible, and human intervention flagged where it’s warranted.
Bookings, cancellations, waitlist promotion and capacity changes.
Freezes, upgrades, payment issues and cancellation conversations, with retention offers where appropriate.

The same workflows, described by the job rather than the sector.
No. One retention offer, then the cancellation proceeds. Obstruction generates complaints, chargebacks and reviews that cost more than the save.
No. Those escalate to qualified staff. It’s a hard boundary.
Attendance pattern changes usually precede cancellation by weeks. The exact lead time is something the audit models against your own data.
Both. Multi-site benefits more, because the build is shared.
Every sector page describes the workflows we’d expect to find. Yours will differ in ways that matter, and the audit is designed for exactly that — you get evidence about your own business rather than someone else’s.
