Mastering the Message: How to Hook ‘Em with Voicemails, Emails & Texts (That Convert!)


 Gym warriors, listen up! You’ve crafted the perfect lead, but closing the deal hinges on one crucial element: your message. Whether it’s a voicemail, email, or text, nailing your communication can turn prospects into members. Here’s how to craft high-impact messages that get results across all channels:

The “Follow-Up Formula” – Works Every Time!

Forget generic scripts, it’s time to personalize! Here’s a winning formula that applies to voicemails, emails, and texts:

  • Attention Grabber: Start with a friendly greeting and a quick reference to your previous interaction.

    • Example (Voicemail): “Hi Mary, this is Jim Thomas from [Gym Name]. The last time we spoke, you mentioned wanting to shed 20 pounds and firm up…”
  • Benefit-Focused Pitch: Don’t just list features, highlight how your gym can solve their specific needs.

    • Example (Email): “Mary, at [Gym Name], we have personalized programs designed to help you achieve your 20-pound weight loss goal and get you toned in record time!”
  • Call to Action (CTA): Make it easy for them to connect! Offer a specific time frame and contact information.

    • Example (Text): “Mary, we have programs to help you reach your goals! I’m available today from 3-5 PM at 555-1212. Let’s chat!”

Pro Tip: Keep voicemails concise (30 seconds max) and emails scannable with clear visuals. Texts should be brief and friendly.

Confirmation Magic: Yes or Yes?

When confirming appointments, use a “Yes or Yes” approach that provides value and builds excitement.

  • Example (Voicemail): “Hi Mary, just confirming your appointment at 1 PM today! Did you plan on incorporating a workout or just take a tour? Either way, I’ve arranged for you to meet our owner – they’re excited to chat!”

  • Example (Text): “Hey Mary, you’re all set for 1 PM today! Wanna get a workout in, or is it just a tour? Either way, you’re meeting our owner – they’re pumped to meet you!”

Bonus Tip: When appropriate, personalize texts further with emojis that reflect your gym’s vibe.

Remember, gym gladiators, successful communication isn’t a one-size-fits-all game. Use these formulas as a foundation, personalize your message, and watch your lead conversion rate soar! Contact Jim here.
