Making your school a Success Academy

Your school is not just a Martial Arts Gym, it is a learning center.
In the ‘Old Days’ we named our schools with a martial flavor and sold our programs as self-defense centers. Today, it’s important to note that our martial arts programs help students

·         Do you emphasize an importance in academics at your school?

·         Do you ask to see the students report cards? Follow up if the grades are below average?

·         Compare your program to Learning Centers in your area. Are your programs worth less than what they are charging?

 

How to condition your hands

·         Make a proper fist

·         Strike with just the first two knuckles

·         Strike soft objects, then work your way up to harder objects

·         Only students 16 years and older should attempt to strike hard objects

Info Call Preparedness
Are you ready to answer the phone?

1. Phone should only be answered by a qualified person who has been trained on using the call script.
2. Call log sheets should be placed beside every telephone. It's ok if have the questions you will ask pre-listed on the call log sheet.
3. Callers can pick up on any hint of non genuine conversation. Be yourself and above all be honest, sincere and genuine!
4. Place yourself in a position of readiness; back straight, smile on your face, attitude of gratitude....
5. Always answer the phone on the third ring, no sooner and no later.
