Jeremy Amin has done it, and in this episode, we talk about how he’s growing his client list while training in a big box gym.

We go into some very specific – and highly effective – tactics that he has used to get more clients, from simple things like talk triggers and converting conversations to attracting prospective clients with short phone outreach methods, gym bulletin boards, and even chalkboards.
