Joining the dots between Membership Sales and Retention is key to the success of your club. 

The Sales and Retention Convention is the only event linking these two critical processes, presenting a connected approach to running a health club. 

Founded by Promote Leisure (Dave Reeves) and GGFit (Guy Griffiths), the convention runs every spring and autumn. Dave and Guy are authorities in membership sales and retention, and they are joined by other industry experts to educate and share best practices that you can implement in your club.

Agenda...

• The Leaving Process, and re-engaging ex-members 
  How to deal with leavers, handle objections, and make spectacular saves. Collect valuable data, and leave the door open for them to return.
  
  
• GDPR: Sink or Swim (Regina Lally & Kellie Peters; Databasix) 
  You can’t learn to swim just reading theory, and data protection is more than ticking a box. We’ll take you through a practical approach to implementing good data protection practice in your club to prepare for GDPR.
  
  
• Leisure Trends (Dr Steven Mann, ukactive)
  The latest ukactive benchmarking figures; what is average in the UK fitness industry, and how you can be better than average.
