SOS-CD Interview Reveals the Untapped
Opportunities in Product Sales |

 |
|
Few of NAPMA President Rob
Colasanti’s many Sounds of Success CD interviews will challenge and surprise you as much as
his discussion with Eric and Pat Hensley, NAPMA members
and school owners in Georgia, on the September Sounds of Success CD. |

|
|
|
In a mere 60 minutes, the Hensleys reveal
a world of product sales opportunities that are
typically unknown or unpracticed by most school owners
throughout the industry. The primary secret of their
success is built-in product sales. Products are
integrated into students’ training and are considered as
necessary as a gi, requiring very little actual selling
on the part of a school owner. The Hensley approach to
product sales will open your eyes, fill your head with
ideas, inspire you to act, increase your
profits. |

NAPMA’s June
Membership Growth Continues Upward Trend |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
 |
|
NAPMA enrolled 73 new members
during the month of June; and, added to the
outstanding growth in April and May. In fact, the association has welcomed
218 members during that 90-day period. Every one
of them is now reaping the many benefits of the
industry’s most effective professional membership
for only $99 a month.
“Nothing reveals
NAPMA’s industry leadership and the quality of its
member support than these membership numbers,”
said NAPMA President Rob Colasanti. “Although it
takes hard work everyday, the NAPMA message is
being received loud and clear; and instructors in
many countries, of many arts and with schools of
many sizes are recognizing the value of a NAPMA
membership, especially our continuing education
and marketing
support. I predict that we'll enroll more than a hundred new members next month." |

Leadership Development Through
Experiential Learning: The Impact on Student
Retention
Experiential
learning is nothing more than learning through experience or
action—and martial arts training provides plenty of
that.
Learn more about this
interesting concept and how it will help you develop more
trust and leadership in your classroom, which leads to strong
interpersonal relationships and accomplished goals, which
should result in better retention. As your students
“experience” more experiential learning, they are more likely
to want more, and will remain students at your
school.
