Yoga and pilates studios · Review generation

Ask for the review after the fortieth class, not the first.

Review generation for a studio is choosing the moment a student is ready to write about you, and making it easy to do while the teacher is still in the room. GullySales sets the milestones that trigger the ask, writes the wording, and puts the Google link where the student already is.

What review generation means

In a clinic or practice a review is a public statement by a patient, and asking for one is restricted or unwise in several regulated professions. Review generation here is proof that does not depend on a patient writing in public: the professional listing kept accurate, the note back to the referring doctor, and a reply that never confirms somebody was a patient. GullySales sets that up and tracks what arrives without soliciting it.

For yoga and pilates studios

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

“Class one is the wrong moment”
A first-timer is sore, unsure and comparing you with the studio tried last week. A student who has just completed the first pack, held a headstand or come back after a prenatal break has something to say, and says it in their own words.
“The teacher asks, the desk sends the link”
A review request from a number the student does not know is deleted. A teacher saying at the end of class that a line about the reformer batch would help, followed by a link from the studio's WhatsApp within the hour, is answered.
“The bad review is about the schedule, not the teaching”
Complaints are about a cancelled 6am batch, a pack that expired without warning or a bed given away after a late arrival. Reply with what changed, in one paragraph, and fix the expiry message, because the next student reads the reply before the review.

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.

Milestones that trigger the ask
The end of the first pack, a set number of classes, a student's first inversion or a return after an injury, each recorded in the attendance register so the desk knows who to ask.
Result: The request reaches a student with a story to tell.
Wording for the teacher and the desk
One line for the teacher to say at the mat and one message for the desk to send with the link, both mentioning the class type so the review mentions it too.
Result: Reviews name the reformer batch and the teacher, so a reader knows which class to try.
The link where the student already is
A short review link on the studio's WhatsApp number, printed at the shoe rack and inside the pack receipt.
Result: A student can write the review before leaving the building.
Replies to every review, good and bad
A response written for each review that names the class and, for a complaint about a cancelled batch or an expired pack, says what the studio changed.
Result: A reader sees a studio that answers.
A count by teacher and batch
Reviews tracked against who asked and which class the student was in, so the ask is repeated where it worked.
Result: You know which teacher's students write and which do not.

Asking for reviews the right way

Ask the people who stay: pack renewals, teacher-training graduates and returning mothers.

A pack renewed: When a student renews a pack, the teacher says a line at the end of class, then the desk sends the link.
Teacher training graduates: Ask graduates when the course ends. They are future teachers who search for institutes and write long reviews.
Returning after a baby: Ask a prenatal student when they return to the studio after the baby, when they have the energy and the words.
Online batches: Ask in the chat after the session, in the teacher's voice, then put the link in the follow-up message.
Corporate yoga: Ask the HR coordinator, not the employees.
Injury or a medical break: Skip the ask for a student who was hurt in class or is taking a medical break.

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

Many students are unhappy with the pass or freeze rules, so asking for reviews now would collect complaints.
The studio has no one to reply to reviews, and unanswered reviews look neglected.

How it works

How the review generation work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

1
Find the moment to ask
We walk through one customer's visit with you and pick the point where the job is done and the customer is still in front of you or holding the phone.
2
Read your current reviews
We read every review you have, count how many were answered, and note what customers praise in their own words. We also check that your name, address and phone on Google match your signboard.
3
Set up the ask
Link, QR code, message wording and a short briefing for the team. We write down what staff must never do: offer a discount, choose who to ask, or post a review themselves.
4
Answer every review
Each incoming review is answered by the routine set down in writing. A complaint is answered by the person who can fix it, with your approval where you want it.
5
Count and adjust
We count how many customers were asked and how many reviewed. If few reply, we move the moment or the person asking before touching the wording.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 7, after the sale. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

Step 1
Sales audit
Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.
Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.
Step 2 · you are here
Sales process design
One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.
Start here if every salesperson sells differently.
Step 3
Sales management
A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.
Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Tell us what you need

Can we offer a free class for a review?

No. A review written for a reward is one Google can remove, and a student who reads the offer treats the other reviews as bought too. Ask at a milestone instead. A student who has just finished the first pack writes without being paid.

A student left a one-star review because the pack expired. What do we say?

Say what the expiry rule is, that the student was not told clearly enough, and what the studio now sends before a pack runs out. Then fix the message, because the review was about the message. Do not argue the terms in public.

Should we ask the whole WhatsApp group of the batch?

Avoid a group blast. Let the teacher ask individuals at a milestone. A link posted in a large group creates pressure and produces replies that look staged, and the students who feel pushed are the ones least likely to write well.

A teacher left and the students are writing about the teacher. Does that hurt?

Reviews that name a departed teacher still describe your studio at that time. Reply with a line on the current teaching team, and do not delete or argue. Ask current students so newer reviews sit alongside the old.

How much does it cost?

There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.

How long is the contract?

The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.

How soon will we see results?

It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.

Who will actually do the work?

The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.

What do you need from us?

Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.

What if we are not happy with the work?

Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
