Friday, April 8.
Pei Qian followed Assistant Xin to a high-end gym near the company.
It's not far away, it's only a five-minute walk from the company, and of course, it's not far from Handong University.
The location of the gym is a street-facing shop, and there is a gym brand on the main entrance: Platinum Sand Fitness, Handong University Store.
These large characters are all artistic fonts, giving people a dynamic and fashionable impression. In addition to the smooth floor-to-ceiling windows on the front of the gym, there are also some dynamic and abstract art paintings on both sides of the main entrance, all of which are figures in motion. There are those who jump for dunks, those who swing badminton, and those who fight with gloves...
These artistic paintings are divided by lines, and this irregularity gives a caricature feel, while further highlighting the dynamic and youthful qualities.
Pei Qian frowned slightly.
He is quite satisfied with the decoration of this store, and it can be opened directly within a short time after receiving the order, without delaying time; but he is a little dissatisfied with the fancy front door.
So eye-catching!
Tenda's industry must be as low-key as possible.
But this is also easy to say, after receiving the order, find a construction team to paint all the facades, paint a low-key color, and try not to attract other people's attention.
These are small issues.
Before entering, Assistant Xin briefly introduced the current situation.
"Mr. Pei, I sent someone to ask about several nearby gyms. There are three gyms that are willing to transfer. This gym has the best decoration and best meets your requirements."
"Platinum Fitness is a national chain fitness brand. It also has several branches in Jingzhou. It has expanded rapidly in recent years. But it is precisely because of blind expansion that some problems have arisen."
"Platinum Fitness Handong University Store originally wanted 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 during the operation."
"Because there are too many gyms near Handong University, many small gyms are fighting price wars, and the annual card is very cheap, and the nearby fitness crowd is about to be divided up."
"Even platinum sand fitness has another branch a little more than a kilometer away, which has seriously scattered the passenger flow."
"And the manager of this store is targeting high-net-worth people from the beginning, and the card fee in the gym is higher than other gyms."
"It was fine at the beginning. The good environment of this gym has also attracted some high-income people. However, as more and more cards are sold, potential users have been tapped out. In the end, it became unsustainable and unsustainable, and fell into a state of loss.”
"If you have your eye on this place, you have two options:"
"The first is to accept the whole package, including the members of this gym and the coaching team. Of course, the store manager must be eager for us to do this, but we can 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 fitness card money from these members, we just got some discounts from the original store owner. Of course, we can also continue to make money for personal education from our members."
"The second is to only accept storefronts, not members and coaches, or even equipment. Let the original store owner clear the store and we will re-plan. There is another Bosha Fitness branch within one kilometer nearby, and the original store owner will arrange for all these members to be Just transfer the card and go to another platinum sand fitness chain store."
"Although this seems to reduce the burden, there are only so many members who have fitness habits in an area, which may lead to the situation that we could not attract members when we first opened."
Can't get a member
That's great!
Pei Qian said calmly: "Okay, I understand. I'll handle the next thing, you only need to handle the formalities."
Assistant Xin nodded: "Okay President Pei."
The two walked into the Platinum Sand Fitness Handong University Store.
As soon as he entered, a man in a suit and leather shoes who appeared to be in his thirties greeted him.
"Mr. Pei! Hello, hello, I'm the manager of this store. My surname is Wei."
Obviously, Assistant Xin had already disclosed Pei Qian's identity to the store manager in advance, so he paid so much attention to it.
Although they are all looking for pickers, pickers are also divided into three, six and nine!
The extremely rich pick-up man is no longer a pick-up man, but the father of the gold master!
When Manager Wei heard it, it turned out that Tengda Group took a fancy to this store, and he was overjoyed immediately.
This store has been losing money all the time. Manager Wei has already thought about it. He will transfer all the members to the chain store next door, and then close the store to stop the bleeding in time.
And now Tengda Group is willing to take over, although he still loses, but it is a little bit less, and of course he is happy.
"Mr. Pei, I'll show you a brief tour first."
Under the leadership of Store Manager Wei, Pei Qian took a complete look at the entire gym.
The area is very large and the decoration is good. The environment is superior among all the gyms in Jingzhou.
However, there is no swimming pool and no bells and whistles like sauna or massage.
Pei Qian is very clear 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. Gyms with fancy facilities such as swimming pools and saunas are often easier to attract members than other gyms.
The reason is very simple. For many Xiaobai, the mentality of choosing a gym is "I can use it, you can't do it". Although I can't swim now, what if one day I want to learn to swim on a whim
Therefore, for a gym with complete facilities, even if the membership card is a little more expensive, many people will pay for it.
This is a disadvantage for others, but it is not bad for Pei Qian.
Further reducing the attractiveness of the gym!
Manager Wei obviously wouldn't tell Pei Qian this, but he just rhetorically introduced that the entire gym has invested a lot and has good prospects.
Pei Qian didn't listen carefully. The left ear went in and the right ear went out. Anyway, when the price was bargaining, it was enough to close the door and let Assistant Xin go.
After visiting the gym, Manager Wei called all the fitness trainers in the gym and stood in two rows in front of Pei Qian.
One by one, these fitness trainers held their chests and abdomens high, full of energy.
These days, it is not easy for fitness instructors to find jobs.
If the store goes out of business, these fitness trainers will have to go to other gyms to apply for jobs, which may not be successful. Now that someone is willing to take over the order, it is best to show it well in front of the new boss and try to get the boss to take over the business with the person.
Manager Wei's meaning is also very clear. He definitely can't put all these fitness coaches in place. If President Pei can 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 to you a few gold medal coaches who are very popular in our shop..."
Pei Qian raised his hand and interrupted Manager Wei.
He trusted his eyes more than Manager Wei's recommendation.
His eyes swept over these fitness trainers quickly, and then passed them one by one.
If you're not in good shape, you definitely can't have it.
This kind of person can continue to work in the gym, it must be because he is especially able to sell classes, he is especially able to fool around, and his brain is more flexible. This kind of marketing wizard pulls over, I am afraid that it will make oneself vomit blood.
The eyes are full of expectations and the mental state is good, but you can't ask for it.
At first glance, this kind of person is hard-working and has a positive work attitude. He doesn't know that he has been brainwashed by several gyms and does not meet his expectations.
In the end, Pei Qian crossed the bulging muscles of the coaches in the front row and locked onto the coach who kept his head down at the very edge of the back row.
He is not tall and wears glasses. He looks old from the face, and he can't tell what his body looks like when he hides behind a group of coaches.
"Just you, the big brother with glasses, come out."
Pei Qian hooked his fingers.
The coaches all looked at the eldest brother with glasses, he raised his head in disbelief, and pointed to himself in confusion.
Pei Qian nodded: "Yes, it's you, come out."
The man left the coach in the front row with a bewildered face and came to Pei Qian.
When Pei Qian saw this hill-like figure, a scene from "Kung Fu" couldn't help but appear in his mind.
I can't see that this coach is not tall, hiding behind other coaches without showing any signs of leakage, yet his muscles are so developed...
"What's your name?" Pei Qian asked.
"Guo Licheng," said the private teacher in an angry voice.
Pei Qian was taken aback: "I asked for my real name, not my nickname."
Manager Wei hurriedly explained, "Mr. Pei, this coach is called Guo Licheng, his surname is Guo. 'Licheng' is a rhetorical 'Licheng'."
Pei Qian: "... I'm sorry, I have no culture."
"But your name doesn't sound good for weight loss."
Manager Wei hurriedly pulled Mr. Pei aside: "cough, Mr. Pei, there is something I must tell you in advance."
"It's not that Coach Guo is not good, but he is really not very smart, he doesn't understand management very well, his interpersonal skills are not very strong, and his sales ability is the bottom of the entire team."
"Of course, if you simply rely on him for personal training, that's absolutely fine, very professional. But if you let him manage the gym, I'm afraid there will be a little problem... "
"Also, Coach Guo has already decided not to work in the fitness industry."
"I can recommend another one to you. He is definitely not worse than Coach Guo, and he is also smart and smart, so you will definitely be satisfied!"
Pei Qian shook his head: "No! I don't want anyone but him."
"Uh... Okay." Manager Wei wanted to persuade him again, but then he thought about how these coaches have nothing to do with him, so he shouldn't be meddling.
Manager Wei dismissed the other coaches, leaving only Coach Guo Licheng, waiting for President Pei's orders.
And Pei Qian also said a few words to Assistant Xin.
"All the fitness equipment is taken away, second-hand sold to other gyms, and we all replace them with new ones."
"The member also asked him to transfer to other chain stores, we do not accept it."
"The coach only keeps Coach Guo, and I will talk to him."
"Just pick faults and haggle prices a little bit. Of course, you don't have to cut too much. Just don't let the store manager take us for granted."
Assistant Xin nodded and went to discuss the contract with Store Manager Wei.
And Pei Qian found Coach Guo Licheng.
Before he could speak, Guo Licheng had already said, "Mr. Pei! I'm very sorry, there is something I want to clarify with you."
"Actually, I have already decided to leave the fitness industry, so I'm sorry, you should find another coach."
Pei Qian was silent for a moment: "Are you sure you don't want to hear about the specific salary first?"
