Yoga and pilates studios · Follow up systems
Chase the trial that never came back and the member who stopped coming.
Follow-up for a studio is what happens after a trial class that did not turn into a pack, a pack that ran out quietly, and a member who has missed her batch for a fortnight without saying why. GullySales writes who sends which message, when, and the point at which the studio stops asking.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
What follow up systems means
A follow-up system is the set routine for calling, messaging or emailing an enquiry more than once, since most buyers do not decide on the first conversation. GullySales sets the number and timing of follow-ups so an undecided buyer keeps hearing from you until they decide either way.

For yoga and pilates studios
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The trial student decides on the walk to the car”
She tried the 7am Hatha batch, said she would think about it, and the front desk never heard from her again. The message that works goes out the same evening, from the teacher, and mentions the one thing she said about her shoulder or her schedule. A pack price sent cold a week later is ignored.
“A missed batch is a signal, a missed fortnight is a resignation”
Members rarely cancel. They stop coming, the pack expires, and the studio notices when the auto-debit fails. The follow-up starts at the second missed class, from the teacher, and asks about the knee or the office move rather than pushing the renewal.
“The reminder before class is a follow-up too”
For a reformer batch with six beds, a no-show is a bed nobody else could take. A confirmation the evening before, with a way to release the spot, fills it from the waitlist. Write down when the studio stops chasing, because a student who has ignored four messages has answered.
What we do
What we deliver for yoga and pilates studios.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A same-evening message after every trial
A short note from the teacher who took the class, sent the day of the trial, that names what the student mentioned and offers the pack that fits her batch.
Result: The trial is followed up while she still remembers the class.
An absence rule by class type
The number of missed sessions after which a teacher, not the desk, writes to a member, set separately for a daily Hatha batch and a reformer slot she attends on two days.
Result: A member hears from you before the pack quietly expires.
A pack-expiry sequence
Messages at the last two sessions of a pack and again after it lapses, worded around the batch she attends rather than the price.
Result: Renewals are asked for at the right session, not after the fact.
Confirmation and waitlist release before each session
A confirmation the evening before for small equipment classes, with a one-tap release that offers the bed to the next person waiting.
Result: A no-show becomes somebody else's class.
A written stop rule
The point at which a trial or a lapsed member is marked closed and left alone, agreed with your senior teacher so nobody is chased into blocking your number.
Result: Your studio is remembered as attentive, not as a nuisance.
How the result is measured
- Follow-up completion rate
- Average number of follow-ups before close
- Enquiries closed after repeat follow-up
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
Follow-up routine for yoga studios
Each trial, lapsed pack and missed batch has a teacher's message, a note of what she said and a stop.
- Trial class done, no pack
- The teacher messages that evening and refers to what the student mentioned, such as her shoulder or her 7am schedule. Offer the pack for that batch and record the reply.
- Pack ending soon
- Ring or message while sessions remain, ask how her practice is going and offer the next pack for the same batch. Record the sessions used.
- Member missed her batch for a stretch
- The teacher writes first to ask if she is well and offers a make-up class. Record the reason and any health or schedule change.
- Prenatal or post-surgery student
- Ask whether her doctor has cleared her and note the doctor's advice on the file. Offer a place in the suitable batch and not a general class.
- Teacher training enquiry
- Reply with the course dates, the eligibility and the fees, and ask about her experience. Record her background and send a call to talk one-to-one.
- Corporate yoga enquiry
- Ask HR for the number of staff, the room and the time of day. Send a simple outline and record who approves the booking.

How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
First
Your brief
You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.
After the brief
A conversation and a written scope
We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.
Before work starts
Baseline recorded
The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.
After the baseline
The first fix goes live
The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing or the handover between marketing and sales.
As agreed
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.
At renewal
Renew on the numbers
The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.
How the follow up systems work runs
- 1
Measure today's reply time
From last month's enquiries, we measure how long each waited for a first reply and how many follow-ups it got.
- 2
Agree targets and the sequence
We set reply targets and the follow-up sequence with your team, based on its real hours and workload.
- 3
Set up templates, tasks and ownership
Templates, first-call questions, CRM tasks and named owners go live, with cover for leave and weekends.
- 4
Track and adjust every month
Reply time and follow-up completion are reported against the baseline, and the routine is changed where it is not kept.
Why us
Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.
Marketing and sales, as one job
Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.
The person on the first call does the work
No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.
A baseline before anything starts
Your numbers are written down on day one, so every later report compares against something honest.
The fee in writing, split three ways
Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.
No guarantees we cannot keep
The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.
