Unlocking Success: Revolutionizing Sales Associate Training in the Fitness Industry

Anchored Training's Innovative Blueprint Transforms Learning for a Global Fitness Franchise, Accelerating Growth and Engagement

Client

An International Fitness Franchise boasting over 1500 employees, primarily consisting of part-time sales associates aged 18-25.

Problem

The client faced uncertainty regarding the most effective training methods for their youthful sales associate team. These associates, working part-time, often juggled various responsibilities such as greeting members, assisting before and after classes, and maintaining the studio. Limited access to email further complicated communication and training efforts.

Strategy

Anchored Training initiated a comprehensive needs analysis, leveraging their Learning Blueprint Service. This involved surveys, interviews, and focus groups to gather essential data. Concurrently, the team reviewed existing content and conducted on-site observations at select locations.

Outcome

Anchored Training delivered a robust learning blueprint, outlining a course plan tailored to the unique characteristics of the sales associates. The blueprint incorporated various modalities and recommendations to enhance accessibility across different platforms. The phased plan included the utilization of videos, storytelling, role plays, and active manager involvement for feedback and reinforcement. The completed blueprint was delivered by May, with the first phase of the new Sales Associate training developed, tested, and launched by November. This streamlined approach significantly accelerated the analysis and design process.
