What’s Doing at Active Management HQ This Week – 23rd December?
Shout Outs From Last Week
- Ian Thompson from Internet Fitpro who interviewed me for his podcast last week. It will go live next month, so keep an eye out as we chewed the thin on marketing.
- Lindsay Vastola from Personal Fitness Professional Magazine who asked me to be featured in an upcoming edition of their magazine.
- Great to chat with Chloe from Facebook, Paul from Anytime Fitness, Chantal and Constantine from 20Perfit. I’m super excited to work with you in the future and what we chewed the thin over will help your companies and Active Management.

Active Management Community
Last week was Group Think where the question: “My sales person is not performing. How long should I keep them?” was posed to the group and what an unbelievable response! Members of the community have shared profound insights on stats, performance standards and conversations to have with the team.
The community also answered a question from Jason Stokes on an app to help his business.
We are also taking expressions of interest in a regional and International Work Exchange Program.
Every week there are resources and assets to help you lead your business. There are no sales pitches. People just like you helping, sharing and growing so we can together lower the health care costs across the globe! Join the community here.

Final Thought
Hire for attitude, train for skill.
In reality, we can train anybody to do any job. You cannot train attitude.
Your prospective employee either has the attitude you are looking for or not. You want to see smiling, hear laughter and experience their empathy. None of this a staff training program will give you.
This means throw your traditional interview model out the window and start again! Start with a process where you will see the prospective employee as the real person. You’ll either warm to their authenticity or identify they are not the right fit.
My advice hire somebody with an absolutely amazing personality and attitude and then train them for skill.
