Chapter 477: Why Don't You Hear About Salary First?
Friday, April 8.
Pei Qian followed Assistant Xin to a high-end gym near the company.
It's not far, it's only a five-minute walk from the company, and of course, it's not too far from Handong University.
The location of the gym is a street-facing shop, and there is a brand of the gym at the main entrance: Platinum Sand Fitness, Handong University Store.
In addition to the smooth floor-to-ceiling windows on the front of the gym, there are also some dynamic and abstract art paintings painted on both sides of the main entrance, all of which are some figures who are exercising, such as jumping up and dunking, swinging badminton, and fighting with boxing gloves......
These artworks are divided by lines, which give a comic feel while further accentuating the dynamic, youthful qualities.
Pei Qian frowned slightly.
He is very satisfied with the decoration of this store, and he can open directly within a short time after taking over without delay; But for the bells and whistles of the main entrance, a little dissatisfied.
It's so eye-catching!
Tengda's industry must be as low-key as possible.
But it's easy to say, after taking over the plate, find a construction team to brush all the door faces, brush a low-key color, and try not to attract the attention of others.
It's all a small problem.
Before entering, Assistant Xin gave a brief introduction to the current situation.
"Mr. Pei, I sent someone to ask a few gyms nearby, and there are three gyms that are willing to transfer, and this gym has the best decoration and best meets your requirements."
"Platinum Sand Fitness is a national chain fitness brand with several branches in Jingzhou, and it has expanded rapidly in recent years. But it is precisely because of blind expansion that some problems have arisen. ”
"The Platinum Sand Fitness Handong University store originally hoped to build a high-end gym near Handong University, specifically for students of Handong University and white-collar workers in nearby office buildings, but there were some problems in the process of operation."
"Because there are too many gyms near Handong University, many small gyms are fighting price wars and annual cards are very cheap, and they are already about to carve up the nearby fitness crowd."
"Even Platinum Sand Fitness has another branch a little more than a kilometer away from here, which seriously disperses the flow of customers."
"And the manager of this store is targeting high-net-worth individuals from the beginning, and the card fee of the gym is higher than that of other gyms."
"At the beginning, it was okay, the good environment of this gym also attracted some high-net-worth people, but as more and more cards were sold, potential users were exhausted, and the revenue of newcomers to apply for cards and personal trainers was difficult to cover the operating costs, and eventually it became difficult to make ends meet, unsustainable, and fell into a state of loss."
"If you have your eye on this place, you have two options:"
"The first is to take in the whole package, including the gym's members and coaching team. Of course, the store manager would have liked us to do this, but we could also use this as a reason to bargain and get a better price, even much lower than expected. ”
"But the downside is that we didn't actually get the money for these members' fitness cards, but just used it to get some discounts from the original owner. Of course, we can also continue to earn personal training money from our members. ”
"The second is to only accept the storefront, not to accept members and coaches, or even not to receive equipment, so that the original owner will empty the store, and we will replan. There is another branch of Bosha Fitness one kilometer away, and the original owner can arrange for all these members to transfer their cards and transfer to another chain store of Bosha Fitness. ”
"Although this seems to reduce the burden, there are only so many members with fitness habits in an area, and it is likely that we will not be able to attract members when we first open."
Can't pull members?
That's great!
Pei Qian remained silent: "Okay, I understand." I'll take care of the rest of the matter, and you'll just take care of the formalities. ”
Assistant Xin nodded: "Okay, Mr. Pei." ”
The two of them stepped into the Platinum Sand Fitness Handong University store.
As soon as I entered, I was greeted by a man in a suit and leather shoes who looked to be in his thirties.
"Mr. Pei! Hello hello, I am the manager of this store, my surname is Wei. ”
Obviously, Assistant Xin had already revealed Pei Qian's identity to the store manager in advance, so he attached so much importance to it.
Although they are all looking for pick-up heroes, they are also divided into three, six, nine and so on!
The extremely rich pick-up man is no longer the pick-up man, but the father of the gold owner!
When Manager Wei heard this, it turned out that Tengda Group had taken a fancy to this store, and he was overjoyed immediately.
This store has been losing money all the time, and Store Manager Wei has already thought about it, and transferred all the members to the chain store next door, and then closed the store to stop the bleeding in time.
And now Tengda Group is willing to take over, although he still loses, but he can lose a little less, of course, he is happy.
"Mr. Pei, I'll take you around briefly."
Under the leadership of Manager Wei, Pei Qian took a look at the entire gym.
The area is very large, the decoration is also good, and the environment is relatively superior among all the gyms in Jingzhou.
However, there is no swimming pool and no bells and whistles such as saunas, massages, etc.
Pei Qian knows very well that this is a big disadvantage for a high-end gym.
The facilities of traditional gyms can be said to be as complete as possible, and gyms with bells and whistles such as swimming pools and saunas tend to attract members more easily than other gyms.
The reason is very simple, for many novices, their mentality of choosing a gym is "I can do without, you can't do without", although I can't swim now, but what if I want to learn to swim on a whim one day?
Therefore, a well-equipped gym, even if the membership card is a little more expensive, there will be many people who pay for it.
This is a disadvantage for others, but it is very good for Pei Qian.
Further reducing the attractiveness of the gym!
Manager Wei obviously didn't tell Pei Qian about this, but just exaggerated about the investment in the entire gym and the prospects were very good.
Pei Qian didn't listen carefully, his left ear went in and his right ear went out, anyway, when he was bargaining, he just closed the door and let Assistant Xin go.
After visiting the gym, Manager Wei called all the fitness coaches in the gym over and stood in two rows in front of Pei Qian.
These fitness coaches are full of energy.
These days, it is not easy for fitness trainers to find a job.
If the store closes, these fitness trainers will have to apply for jobs at other gyms, and they may not be successful. Now that someone is willing to take over, it is best to behave well in front of the new boss and strive to let the boss take over the store with people.
Store Manager Wei's meaning is also very clear, he will definitely not be able to place all these fitness coaches, if Pei can always take a fancy to some of them and let them continue to stay in this gym, it is obviously the best.
"Mr. Pei, let me introduce you to several gold medal coaches who are very popular in our store......"
Pei Qian raised his hand and interrupted Store Manager Wei's words.
He trusts his eyes more than Store Manager Wei's recommendation.
His gaze quickly swept over the trainers, and then passed them one by one.
If you are not in good shape, you definitely can't ask for it.
This kind of person can work in the gym, it must be because he is particularly able to sell classes, he is particularly able to fool, and his brain is more flexible. This kind of marketing wizard pulls over, I'm afraid that I will make myself make a lot of money and vomit blood.
If you have expectations in your eyes and are in a good mental state, you can't ask for it.
This kind of person looks like a struggle, has a positive work attitude, and doesn't know that he has been brainwashed by several gyms, and he doesn't meet his expectations.
In the end, Pei Qian crossed the bulging muscles of several coaches in the front row and locked onto a coach who kept his head down at the very edge of the back row.
He is not tall, wears glasses, looks older from the physiognomy, and he can't see what his figure is when he hides behind the coaches.
"It's you, this big brother with glasses, come out."
Pei Qian hooked his fingers.
The coaches' eyes looked at the big brother with glasses, and he looked up incredulously and pointed at himself with some confusion.
Pei Qian nodded: "That's right, it's you, come out." ”
The man separated the coach in the front row with a confused face and came to Pei Qian.
When Pei Qian saw this mountain-like figure, he couldn't help but have a scene from "Kung Fu" in his mind.
I can't see that this coach is not tall, hidden behind other coaches and not leaky, and his muscles are so developed......
"What's your name?" Pei Qian asked.
The personal trainer said angrily: "Guo Licheng." ”
Pei Qian was stunned: "I asked for my real name, not a nickname." ”
Store Manager Wei hurriedly explained: "Mr. Pei, this coach is called Guo Licheng, surnamed Guo, and 'Licheng' is the rhetorical 'Licheng'. ”
Pei Qian: "...... I'm sorry, I'm uneducated. ”
"But your name doesn't sound very good for weight loss."
Store Manager Wei hurriedly pulled Mr. Pei aside: "Ahem, Mr. Pei, there is something I have to make clear to you in advance." ”
"It's not that this Coach Guo is not good, it's just that he is really not very smart, he doesn't know much about management, his interpersonal skills are not very strong, and his sales ability is at the bottom of the entire team."
"Of course, if you just rely on him to be a personal trainer, then it's absolutely fine, very professional. But if you let him run the gym, I'm afraid there will be a little bit of a problem......"
"Moreover, Coach Guo has already decided not to work in the fitness industry."
"I can recommend one more to you, definitely not worse than Coach Guo, and he is also smart and clever, absolutely satisfying you!"
Pei Qian shook his head: "No! I don't want anyone but him. ”
"Uh...... Good. Manager Wei still wants to persuade again, but after thinking about it, what does it have to do with him where these coaches go, and he can't be nosy.
Manager Wei dismissed the other coaches, leaving only Coach Guo Licheng and waiting for Mr. Pei's orders.
And Pei Qian also said a few words to Assistant Xin.
"All the gym equipment was taken away, and the second-hand was sold to other gyms, and we all replaced it with a new one."
"The member also asked him to transfer to other chain stores, and we didn't accept it."
"The coach only left Coach Guo alone, and I talked to him."
"Pick a little fault and cut the price, of course, don't cut too much, don't let this store manager treat us as the wronged boss."
Assistant Xin nodded and went to negotiate the contract with Store Manager Wei.
And Pei Qian found Coach Guo Licheng.
Before he could speak, Guo Licheng had already taken the first step and said: "Mr. Pei! I'm sorry, but there's something I want to make clear. ”
"Actually, I'm already thinking about leaving the fitness industry, so I'm sorry, you might as well find another trainer."
Pei Qian was silent for a moment: "Are you sure you don't want to hear how much the salary is first?" ”
