The Underground NAPMA again leads the industry in acknowledging those hard-working martial artists who work tirelessly everyday training and promoting the benefits of the martial arts and a martial arts lifestyle. These dedicated pros toil without the spotlight of celebrity, but are just as important — perhaps more so — to the health of our industry as the big names. The Extreme Success Academy and NAPMA will recognize these unsung heroes for their work, and invite them to pass along the secrets of their success to attendees.

Improve Your School Operations from “A to Z” New at this year’s Academy is an extra day of study and information gathering, the “A to Z” Blueprint Day, which will be offered prior to the Extreme Success Academy conference. An entire day will be devoted strictly to the details of operating a martial arts school: Classes and discussions with all of the nuts and bolts information about how to generate new students, teach more effective classes, improve your student retention, payments and collections, curriculum planning and class scheduling and much more. Great schools have a great curriculum. “Your teaching skill is measured by student retention, upgrade percentage and Black Belt graduation percentage, not by your lineage or how tough you make it for the White Belts,” says Oliver. Attendees will have access to discussions on the five primary systems for curriculum management, including traditional, block style, true rotating, modular rotating and age-specific programs. Participants can learn how to more effectively teach material and provide the best service to their students. (See sidebar on page 14 for more information about these discussions.) The aspect of running a business most despised by school owners is payments and collections. This year’s conference will explore ways to make this potential headache a well-run, efficient cash machine. “In the early days of martial arts schools, class scheduling

Turn Your Staff Into Champions As a school owner, you can’t afford to have a staff that is not as exquisitely trained in customer service as in martial arts. Take advantage of the information offered to help your staff reach their maximum potential with these sessions at NAPMA’s Extreme Success Academy Extended Staff Training Day.

How to Transform Information Calls into Paying Students You know how valuable an Information call is. Ensure that your effort in getting marketing materials into the community to get the phone to ring pay off, with an effective phone sales presentation delivered by any of your staffers. It’s the first step towards gaining a new student, and NAPMA’s experts and your most successful peers will show your staff how it’s done.

How the First Three Minutes of a Phone Call Determine Prospect or Customer Is the person who answers the phone skilled enough, charismatic enough, and knowledgeable enough to communicate your message to the prospective student with such clarity that they literally are compelled to visit your school? We’ll arm your staff members with “The Four P’s,” a simple, yet immensely effective procedure for turning information calls into new students — 92% of the time. Your staffers will learn to confidently and competently handle prospective students’ questions and articulately communicate to them all the benefits of training in your school.

Plug the “Hole in the Bucket” and Keep Your Students Motivated How to keep hard-earned customers motivated to stay with and grow with your school. Learn how to establish a personal connection with your students and produce great retention rates. We’ll help your staff understand how important it is to build that personal relationship with those they teach, and show them easy, “tried and true” systems for student follow-up.

Non-Confrontational Methods for Renewals and Upgrades Many of the most successful schools in the country generate a large majority of revenue through upgrade programs that spark continued renewals. This one strategy has been proven to double, triple or quadruple a school’s revenues. Staff work is essential to such success, and we’ll show your instructors exactly how to achieve these results for you.

Accountability and Entrepreneurial Thinking for Staff Members As your school grows, you will be faced with the realization that you can no longer be a “one-man band.” Unfortunately, employees rarely have the same goals as you. In this session, we will help your staff members understand how to contribute to you school’s growth and take responsibility for their results, rather than just their activities. We’ll help them understand how important their roles are building the school, and why they must continue their education in the martial arts business as well as the martial arts!

And More… The Extended Staff Training Day covers even more success-oriented techniques and information staffers at any level can use. • Doing the work right the first time. • The simplest system ever devised to allow your staff to accurately track statistics and performance. • Collecting delinquent payments without offending your student or parent. • Quick and easy lead follow up systems that generate new students. • Customer relations and how to resolve student issues. • Setting the ground rules for your students, so they don’t become “difficult” customers. This is a special time set aside for the true unsung heroes of the martial arts industry—the staff workers who put in the hours, know each student personally, and dedicate themselves to the success—and profits—of your school. Repay them by equipping each with the knowledge and confidence to return to work recharged and ready to add more value to your programs. For more information, visit ExtremeSuccessAcademy.com.

Stephen Oliver was simple. Now with the increasing complexity of services being offered, we have to create better strategies for effective scheduling. We are revealing some ways our members can accomplish this goal,“ says Colasanti. “One of my big issues as a school owner is locking the back door to keep the students interested and involved in classes,” commented Toby Milroy, NAPMA vice president of sales and marketing. “We have designed a course for the conference’s “A to Z” Blueprint Day that will solve that problem for school owners.” Taking full advantage of the marketing expertise of Stephen Oliver, the “A to Z” Blueprint Day will disclose the most effective student marketing and retention programs martial arts schools can use. This course will help our members with strategies for lead generation, upgrading students and maximizing income potential from every student. Oliver says, “It would be great if both a high percentage of your students train to Black Belt and beyond, and they are really good when they get there. However, without focused and aggressive marketing of your school, and without A to Z systems to make your business successful, you’ll sit there and bleed to death. “Now don’t get me wrong. I hope you do have a great curriculum. You may be the best and brightest, but if you don’t get the word out, you will have 20 or 25 students,” according to Oliver. Many of our members have expressed a desire to take their businesses to the next level with multi-facility operations. An entire course will be devoted to how this can be accomplished, while avoiding the major pitfalls and problems this kind of expansion can cause.

Bring Out the Full Potential of Your Team with the Extended Staff Training Sessions A special program track for the employees of NAPMA members will be offered to maximize the effectiveness of your staff by turning them into true team members. Your employees will learn valuable skills not only from experts in the field of school operations, but also each other and gain access to effective solutions being devised by schools across the nation, helping them learn to go the extra step for your students, which in turn will boost your business. “Lock the back door” on student retention with extra training and new staff skills. Skills to be covered include: handling information calls and walk-ins, upgrading your students to Black Belt club members, motivating students, tracking student progress and much more. Take advantage of this special opportunity for staff development at a half-price rate reserved for employees only. For more information about the Extended

Improve Your School Operations The “A to Z” Blueprint Day sessions are designed to address the practical issues of school management facing owners today. During a full day devoted specifically to training and education on school operations, without the distractions of the fullbore conference, you’ll be able to join in discussions with experts in the field and successful peer owners, and walk away with a “blueprint” you can use to build your own school.

Creating Payment, Billing and Collections Systems Most school owners hate being a bill collector, facing the never-ending chore of collecting the money from sales to new students and dealing with billing problems or delinquent accounts. This session will explore options and tools available to school owners that take you out of the collection cycle and establish a system to handle these necessary tasks sensitively and efficiently.

Scheduling and Class “Blocking” Twenty years ago, creating your class schedule was easy, with just a limited number of classes offered each day. Today it is a much more complex task. Regardless of your present class schedule, this session will reveal the strategies that the most successful owners use each day to simplify their lives while offering what their customers demand. We’ll also unveil some simple strategies that will help you motivate your students to stay focused on their goals, practice harder, and upgrade regularly, just by structuring your class schedule effectively.

Program Management Strategies to Improve Long Term Student Retention In today’s modern martial arts school, one size does not fit all. Learn from the school owners who have realized they must offer their students more opportunities and programs from which to choose. This session will outline the details of the most common programs in the industry, and how you can adapt them for your school.

Bringing New Students Into Your School Predictably and Reliably The lifeblood of a martial arts school is a consistent influx of new students, and every successful school owner is hyper-focused on marketing and lead generation to acquire those new customers. This session will share some of the most effective new student marketing systems in use throughout the industry and how they apply to any school, including yours.

Multi-School Operations Strategies Many school owners are interested in branching out into a multi-school system. Avoiding the hazards of starting more than one school is breathtakingly complex, and mistakes can cause you go broke, be sued, alienate friends and families and even serve federal jail time. This session covers the major pitfalls to be avoided, and includes proven strategies.

The Place to Be to Make Your School an Extreme Success According to Rob Colasanti, “The quality and focus of all the sessions and courses have been upgraded, and more educational resources and materials will be available for you to take home to your school.” “This year’s Extreme Success Academy will mark the beginning of a new direction for NAPMA. All of our members deserve the success previously earned by only a select few in the martial arts industry,“ according to Colasanti. “You’ve must realize that 50 to 80% of your business is about marketing and sales processes. You must always be thinking of your year as a whole and of the coming months as parts,” says Oliver. “Certainly, most schools are doing too little to pro mote their school. ‘Build it and they will come’ works only in the movies.” The Extreme Success Academy is tailored for entrepreneurial, forward-thinking school owners who are focused on operating successful businesses, and specifically addresses those who want to build substantial futures for themselves and their families. An ideal structured opportunity to network and brainstorm with your peers—helping each other solve problems and create new opportunities.

What the NAPMA Extreme Success Academy is NOT: This event is NOT for school owners who are not focused on high quality student outcomes, not serious about long-term student retention, or on a quest to suck up as many cash payments as humanly possible without regard to actually DELIVERING ON yOuR PROMISES! This is NOT simply a social gathering — although there will be plenty of opportunity for networking and building relationships — where you will be wined and dined, only to realize later that you didn’t really learn anything that will help you actually grow your school! This is NOT the same old speakers talking about the same old antiquated, slow, ineffective, unrealistic or untested marketing strategies that only worked in 1985, when students were flooding into schools, without the slightest provocation. This is NOT the type of conference where all you can learn is the newest wiz-bang martial arts techniques, wrist lock, knife defense, etc., although you’ll have plenty of opportunities to do that. This is NOT a conference where you will be distracted by the next new, so-called revolutionary piece of equipment, software package or bright shiny object. Although some of these tools are useful, we will be LASER BEAM FOcuSED on those tools that can actually help you grow your school, attract more new students, super-motivate the students you have and, ultimately, MAKE yOu MONEy! Please understand our goals! • We will NOT try to sell you sparring gear! • We will NOT try to entice you to buy the newest gadget for your school! • We will NOT try to convince you that one style of martial arts is better or can be more profitable than another.

“What I always liked about NAPMA is the networking. If I’m an instructor in South Dakota and I’m having a bad month, then I can call another member in Orange County, California. I can learn some ideas from a successful school.” “I encourage anybody to be part of a structure, like NAPMA, because you can only go as far in martial arts as your support. You also need to be nourished and encouraged, just like in a family.” Joe Lewis NAPMA Technical Advisor and Regular Contributor
