Episode 7: How I Built A 50-Person Waiting List

A waiting list doesn't happen by accident. In this episode I walk through the four things that built mine, from defining who I wanted to teach, to letting the studio's reputation do the work over time.

In this episode:

  • What a waiting list actually means for your studio, beyond simply being full

  • The process of defining your ideal student and why it is the foundation everything else builds on

  • The free visibility tools that help the right families find you before they have even contacted you

  • How to communicate a message that attracts the families you want to work with

  • What a professionally run studio does for your reputation and your word-of-mouth referrals

  • How to manage a waiting list professionally and what to say when you're full

  • The four objections that hold teachers back from doing this work, and honest reframes for each one
