Episode 458 | Is It the Market… or Your Process? (How to Diagnose a Slowdown + Create Momentum for September) Podcast Description If your school feels a little more sparse right now—fewer leads, more no-shows, more “we need to think about it,” more tire-kickers—you're not crazy, and you're definitely not alone. In Episode 458 of School Owner Talk, Duane and Allie dig into a question a lot of owners are quietly asking: Is this slowdown the market… or is it our process? Instead of panic-changing everything (prices, scripts, ads, branding), they walk through a calm, practical way to diagnose what's actually happening. The big idea is simple: if you don't know which number is down, you'll fix the wrong thing. So they break it into three truth-telling metrics—lead volume, show rate, and close rate—and then shift into what to do next, including show-up systems, follow-up, and grassroots momentum plays that can help you win September. They also talk about the seasonality factor (end of summer + back-to-school) and why this time of year usually brings better results—more routine, more structure, and families looking for positive activities—while still acknowledging that commitment can feel lower than it used to. Key Takeaways 1) Don't panic-change everything—diagnose first When things feel slow, it's tempting to make big emotional moves: drop prices, rewrite your sales script, overhaul your website, rebrand, or crank ad spend without a plan. However, changing five things at once makes it impossible to know what actually worked. Duane's reminder is to stay steady: diagnose → adjust → execute. 2) The three numbers that tell the truth Duane and Allie recommend tracking three core metrics consistently: Lead volume (by source): How many leads you're getting, and where they're coming from (Facebook/Instagram, Google, referrals, walk-ins, events, etc.). Show rate (booked → showed): How many people schedule, and how many actually walk through the door. Close rate (showed → enrolled): Of the people who show up, how many enroll. If leads are down, your solution is different than if show rate is down. And if close rate is stable but leads and show rate are down, you don't need to “sell harder”—you need better lead quality and stronger show-up systems. 3) Track lead volume by source, not as one big bucket It's not enough to say, “Leads are down.” You want to know which leads are down. Allie shares how tracking every call and lead source helped her identify what worked, what didn't, and where to stop wasting money. Duane adds that if you know your numbers, you can make smarter decisions about ad spend because you understand what it costs to acquire a student versus the lifetime value of that student. 4) Show rate is often the hidden problem No-shows create the illusion of activity—your calendar looks full, but enrollments don't match. They call out common reasons show rate drops: Low-commitment leads Unclear expectations Weak confirmation process Families shopping multiple options Allie shares real numbers from her month to illustrate how quickly no-shows can pile up, even when leads are coming in. 5) Be consistent in how you define and track “trial” vs “booked intro” Duane points out a common tracking issue: some systems mark someone as “on a trial” the moment they book. He prefers separating: Booked intro (scheduled) Trial (they actually showed) The key isn't which definition you choose—it's being consistent so your measurements mean something over time. 6) Seasonality matters—but so does the current behavior shift They acknowledge the reality: Summer can be “weird” for martial arts schools (vacations, inconsistent attendance, freezes). Back-to-school usually helps because families want routine and structure again. At the same time, they're seeing a broader behavior shift: Attention is fragmented Skepticism is up Commitment is down Free trials can attract “free shoppers” (the old Groupon effect) 7) Personal contact still beats automation when it comes to show-ups Automations help, but Duane strongly recommends a real phone call to confirm appointments and pre-frame expectations. He also recommends a concerned, human follow-up when someone no-shows, with a clear reschedule option and focused follow-up over the next 24–48 hours. 8) Grassroots momentum can fill the gaps when things feel sparse They recommend leaning into practical, local plays—especially going into September: Reactivation campaigns for former students and past leads School partnerships (speeches, after-school programs, daycare/school outreach) Flyer delivery and local grassroots marketing (done intentionally) Cross-promotions with local businesses Action Steps for School Owners Step 1: Start a simple weekly scoreboard Track these three numbers every week: Lead volume by source Show rate (booked → showed) Close rate (showed → enrolled) Don't overreact to one weird week. Look for trends over a month, a quarter, and a year. Step 2: Fix show rate before you obsess over closing If you're seeing more no-shows and tire-kickers, tighten your show-up system: Add a real phone call confirmation (even if most don't answer) Pre-frame the appointment (what to wear, what to expect, who will greet them) Make the experience feel personal and relational from the first contact Step 3: Create a 24–48 hour no-show follow-up plan When someone no-shows: Call with a concerned tone (“Hope everything's okay”) Offer two specific reschedule options Follow up consistently over the next 24–48 hours Step 4: Run a September momentum plan (pick 2) Choose two grassroots plays and run them hard for 7 days: Reactivation campaign (former students + past leads) School outreach / after-school partnerships Local business cross-promotions A structured “excitement program” for National Martial Arts Appreciation Month Step 5: Don't change five things at once Make one change, measure the result, then adjust. That's how you build a system you can trust.

Whether you're starting graduate school, considering a career in student affairs, or mentoring future professionals, this conversation offers encouragement, perspective, and lessons learned along the way. The post Before You Begin: What Every New Student Affairs Graduate Student Should Know appeared first on Student Affairs NOW.

Send Jackie A Message!You want to be well known in your town. You want more bodies in the room, because a full class is more fun to teach. You want a predictable way to grow your membership instead of waiting on referrals. And you want fresh faces, because you have been rotating through the same people for a while now.Paid ads are the growth lever that changes all of that. Money is what stops most studio owners from pulling it.So this is the money episode. In week three of our month on paid advertising, I break down what running ads yourself really costs your yoga or Pilates studio, including the version you think is free. We run the hours, the skill decay, the cost per lead, and the four hurdles that drain your budget before a single new student walks in. The question was never whether you are smart enough to learn Meta ads. You are. The question is whether you can afford to keep being your own ads department.TIMESTAMPED OUTLINE[00:00] What every studio owner tells me they want[03:01] Why the Studio CEO Ads Agency exists[05:57] The four blockers: budget, knowledge, "I'll do it myself," time[09:23] Five hours a week is six full work weeks a year[11:45] Why ads knowledge expires and your sales skills do not[14:53] Where do-it-yourself starts draining your budget[17:30] The lead that went cold and the winning ad you broke[19:45] You are the talent: how CEOs divide labor[21:11] $15 leads versus $200 leads[24:48] Why $5K agencies do not fit a studio payroll[27:48] The runway of warm leads you are burning through[29:18] Your next step, and why this window is closingKEY TAKEAWAYS✓ The real question is not "can I afford an agency," it is "can I afford to keep being my own ads department."✓ Five hours a week on ads is 250 hours a year, six full work weeks in ads manager, priced at your CEO rate.✓ Boosting a post does not reach new people. It shows your post to the audience you already have.✓ At $15 per lead, $1,000 brings 67 people in the door. At $200 per lead, it brings five.✓ Every business runs on a runway of warm leads, and it shortens every month you skip cold traffic.PULL QUOTES"Not what does an ad cost, but what did the whole machine cost, including the version that you think is free.""You don't have six work weeks a year at your CEO rate to be an ads manager for 20 minutes on a Thursday.""Not one thing on this list is about intelligence. It's a full-time attention problem happening to a part-time attention owner.""Everything else you're doing will not matter if new students stop finding you.""You are the talent. Your students and your team need you way more than the ads dashboard does."FAQsHow many hours a week does it take to run your own studio ads?Owners running their own digital marketing report three to ten hours a week, roughly 250 hours a year at five hours. Professionals spend far more, with one media buyer describing 12-hour days in peak season.Does boosting an Instagram post count as running ads?No. Boosting shows your post to your existing followers instead of the cold audience you need. That is why owners try it, see no new students, and write off ads entirely.What is a good cost per lead for a yoga or Pilates studio?It varies by market. Jackie has clients paying $1 per lead online, $5 on Google, and $15 in studio markets. Unmanaged accounts can climb to $200 per lead.Why do my ads stop working after I change them?Every change to the offer, audience, creative, or landing page resets the platform's learning phase. Excited owners break winning ads by improving them.What does ads management cost for a studio?Many agencies start near $5,000 a month plus a $5,000 minimum spend. The Studio CEO Ads Agency is $1,000 a month with no minimum spend.How do I apply for the Studio CEO Ads Agency?Head to the website, click Studio CEO Ads Agency, and fill out the two-minute application.

In this episode of Status Check with Spivey, Anna Hicks-Jaco is joined by three experienced law school financial aid professionals: Dalmarie Lawrence, Director of Financial Aid at the University of the District of Columbia School of Law; Montré Everett, Director of Financial Aid at UC Davis School of Law; and Matt Wakeman, Assistant Dean of Financial Aid at the University of Virginia School of Law.Together, they discuss how the student loan changes included in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act are affecting current and prospective law students, particularly following the elimination of Grad PLUS loans and the introduction of new federal borrowing limits.The group explains what has changed for incoming law students, how part-time students may be affected, and why simply lowering law school tuition may be more complicated than it sounds. They also discuss how law schools are responding through scholarships, institutional aid, tuition freezes, loan repayment assistance programs, and other resources designed to help students manage the cost of attendance.The conversation also covers how applicants can use ABA 509 reports to evaluate scholarship opportunities and identify financial safety schools, what students should know about private student loans, and how credit history and cosigners may affect their ability to borrow. The guests also explain why private loans may sometimes offer lower interest rates than federal loans, while emphasizing the risks they may create for students pursuing public service careers and Public Service Loan Forgiveness.Additional topics include financial aid considerations for veterans and military dependents, the impact of the new rules on transfer and dual-degree students, the importance of borrowing only what is necessary, and practical strategies for reducing law school expenses through scholarships, budgeting, and early communication with financial aid offices.You can listen and subscribe to Status Check with Spivey on ⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠, Spotify⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠.

In this episode of Rhee Gold's Dance Life Podcast, Stacey Morgan and Rhee Gold challenge one of the most common mindsets in dance studio ownership: “It’s too late in the season to bring in new students.” As recital season approaches and studios are deep in choreography, costumes, and competitions, many studio owners close their doors to new enrolments. But Stacey and Rhee argue that this approach is leaving significant revenue and opportunity on the table. Instead, they explore how studio owners can think differently about their business model — creating flexible entry points, short-term programs, and alternative customer journeys that not only generate income now but also build a stronger foundation for the next season. In this episode, they discuss: Why turning away new students mid-season is a missed opportunity How short-term programs (4, 6, or 8 weeks) can become powerful revenue streams Creating a great customer experience for new students without forcing them into recital How to use mid-season enrolments as a lead generation strategy for the following year The importance of planning and marketing these programs well in advance Why experimenting with different formats, styles, and age groups is key to growth The concept of “up-serve vs upsell” and how to better serve your current families Using themed programs (like K-pop or musical theatre) to drive engagement Listening to your community and letting the market tell you what it wants Understanding modern customer behaviour and how it differs from traditional studio models Why flexibility, accessibility, and online registration are essential in 2026 Stacey shares a real-life example of launching a short-term “Hot Mama Hip Hop” class that filled quickly — proving that sometimes the best ideas come directly from your community. Rhee reinforces the importance of evolving your business model, reminding studio owners that the industry is changing rapidly — and those who stay open to new ideas will thrive. This episode is a powerful reminder that growth doesn’t only happen at the start of the season. With the right mindset and strategy, opportunities are everywhere — even in your busiest months.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on "Off The Cuff," Melanie and Karen discuss three new House bills focused on preventing fraud in the student aid programs, all of which were advanced by the House Education and Workforce Committee this week. Karen explains what each of the three bills would do and how they would impact institutions. From there, Melanie discusses what's happening with the Department of Education's (ED) Admissions and Consumer Transparency Supplement (ACTS) reporting requirement following a federal judge's temporary injunction blocking ED from enforcing its March 18 deadline. The team also discusses updates from Federal Student Aid (FSA), including when final rules are expected for the RISE and AHEAD negotiated rulemaking sessions and when recordings of the FSA training conference will be available to the public. Finally, Melanie gives a brief update on what NASFAA knows about an influx of institutions receiving borrower defense claims.

In this episode, Michael Roscoe, PhD, PA-C, President of the Physician Assistant Education Association, sits down with Tyler Smith, MPH, Chief Policy Officer at PAEA, to unpack recent changes in federal student loan policy and what they could mean for PA education. The conversation focuses on the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and its introduction of new loan limits that differentiate between graduate and professional students—a shift that could significantly affect PA students' access to financial aid. Tyler outlines PAEA's federal advocacy efforts, explains why coordinated national advocacy matters, and walks listeners through the Department of Education's ongoing rulemaking process. The episode underscores a critical takeaway: public engagement matters. With a forthcoming comment period on the proposed regulations, the discussion highlights why input from educators, students, and stakeholders is essential to shaping the final outcome.

This year has been unlike any other in the compliance world. Across every school district and institution that we support, we have seen the same pattern emerge: expectations rising and responsibilities expanding, and the compliance landscape shifting faster than ever before under this new administration. At ICS, we've tried to offer some real clarity and practical pathways forward to help you stay ahead over the course of the year. During this episode, we unpack the newly released Title IX Student Bystander Training. The goal of this training is to equip students with real skills and to help schools build safer communities from the ground up. Joining us to discuss this topic is Betsy Smith, our Chief Innovation Officer, who led the development of this training. She walks us through what the training covers, why it matters, how to implement the training on the ground, and how schools can bring it to life at their district or school. We're always looking for change in small and big ways, and we are so grateful to be a part of this training. Tune in to hear more.  Key Points From This Episode: Looking back at the compliance world in 2025.  How ICS has worked to meet the needs that have emerged in the past year.  The new community partner benefit that ICS has launched.  What the new Title IX Student Bystander Training for K-12 entails.  What Chief Innovation Officer Betsy Smith has been focused on this year.  Background on our new Title IX Student Bystander Training and why it is specifically for K-12 students. Challenges schools are currently facing that warrant the need for such a training.  What is most important about this training.  Content design and an overview of the training.  Why a choice was made to approach this as bystander training. The role of the facilitator guide.  How the work of Title IX Coordinators makes an impact, even if they can't see it.  What the broader goal of this training is: culture change through intervention.

Holiday season isn't just recital season… it's decision season. In this episode, you'll learn how to turn the "new instrument" moment (Christmas/Hanukkah gifts) into a powerful enrollment boost without sounding salesy or generic. If you want more students in January, this is the window to act, and we'll show you exactly how. In this episode, you'll learn how to: Spot the holiday enrollment window most music school owners miss (and why it matters right now) Shift from "Now enrolling" to hyper-specific messaging that makes parents feel understood Use the "new instrument" fear ("Will it end up under the bed?") as a high-converting hook Activate your superstar families with gift-style referral cards that multiply trust Run holiday ads the smart way: dedicated landing page + simple A/B test (holiday vs. general) Build a short email sequence that drives action using curiosity + emotion + a deadline Follow up confidently (text/phone) without feeling pushy because it's not annoying, it's leadership Listen in if you want a clear, practical playbook to fill January and kick off the year with momentum.

If I were starting Radiologic Technology School today, I'd definitely approach it with a different mindset! Let's be real, this journey is gonna test everything from your patience to your sanity—seriously! So whether you're gearing up for this wild ride or just kicked it off, I've got some golden nuggets to share that I wish someone had handed me on day one. From learning the “why” behind the “how” to surrounding yourself with sticky notes like they're your new best friends, we're diving into tips that'll not only help you survive but thrive! Trust me, you'll want to soak up these insights—your future self will thank you when you're rocking those clinical shifts like a pro. Grab a notebook and let's get into the good stuff!Diving into the wild world of Radiologic Technology, our latest episode takes a refreshing detour down the memory lane of what we wish we knew before embarking on this journey. I mean, let's be honest, if I had a nickel for every time I thought, ‘Why didn't anyone tell me that?!', I could probably fund a whole semester's worth of textbooks! So, if you're gearing up to start or have just dipped your toes into Radiologic Technology school, grab that trusty notebook because I've got some golden nuggets of wisdom to share. First up, it's all about the ‘why'! Forget rote memorization of the ‘how'—understanding the reasoning behind procedures not only makes you a better tech, it earns you major respect in the imaging world. I also talk about the life-changing power of sticky notes. Seriously, they're like magical little reminders that can help you conquer those tricky anatomy terms when the going gets tough. And let's not forget the importance of studying to understand, not just to ace tests. Trust me, when you grasp the concepts, those pesky exam questions start to make sense!Beyond school tips, I dive into the realities of clinicals. Treat every placement like a job interview—because, spoiler alert: it kinda is! Show up early, help out, and ask those burning questions. You never know who might be hiring in the future! Plus, let's not overlook the importance of taking care of your mental health. The pressure can be intense, and burnout is real—so don't forget to breathe, have lunch with friends, and remember your worth!Takeaways: Starting Radiologic Technology School? Remember to learn the 'why' behind procedures, not just the 'how'. Sticky notes are your best friends in school; use them everywhere to remember important concepts. Always study to truly understand the material, not just to ace the tests and get good grades. It's totally okay to say 'I don't know'—it builds trust and shows that you're eager to learn. radiologic technology school, tips for radiologic students, how to succeed in radiology, radiologic technologist advice, anatomy study tips, radiology clinical experience, student radiologic technologist, self-care for radiology students, professional behavior in radiology, effective study habits for radiology, understanding radiologic concepts, radiology program challenges, making the most of clinicals, radiologic technology tips, learning anatomy for radiology, career in radiologic technology, radiology program preparation, mastering radiologic techniques, importance of asking questions in radiology, building confidence in radiology practice© 2025 A Couple of Rad Techs Podcast

A new cohort of our Business Building 101 course is starting this week! If you're launching a studio, rebuilding after a move, or just want to build a more intentional, financially sustainable business, this course is designed to help you do exactly that—with clarity, structure, and support. And today's guest is a perfect example of what can happen when you combine a fresh start with the right tools. Mimi Zhang is the 2024 grand prize winner of our Studio Launch Grant competition. As part of her prize package, Mimi received a $1,000 startup grant, gift cards to Alamo Music and Alfred Publishing, and enrollment in the Music Studio Startup Business Building 101 course, and more—all of which she put to great use as she launched her studio in a brand-new city. When Mimi won the grant competition, she had just finished grad school, moved across the country, and was starting from scratch. In less than a year, she grew her studio from just three in-person students to nearly 40, added group classes, implemented strong business systems, and started building the studio she really wanted. In our conversation, Mimi shares the strategies that helped her grow quickly and sustainably, the mindset shifts that made a big difference early on, and how she's continuing to evolve her studio now that the foundation is in place.
