Complete Sales Scripts

Phase 1: Welcome and Agenda (5 minutes)

Opening:

"Welcome to [Box Name], [Prospect Name]. I am [Coach Name]. Before we get started, can I get you some water?"

Agenda Setting:

"Today is not a workout, and it is not a sales pitch. Today is about understanding your goals and figuring out if we are the right fit to help you achieve them. I am going to ask you some questions about where you are and where you want to go. Then I will share how we work and you can decide if it makes sense. Sound good?"

Phase 2: Discovery Questions (15-20 minutes)

Current State:

Desired State:

Past Attempts:

Emotional Drivers:

Practical Constraints:

Phase 3: Presentation (10 minutes)

Goal Connection:

"[Prospect Name], based on what you shared, your primary goal is [summarize goal]. Your biggest barrier has been [summarize barrier]. Here is exactly how we help people in your situation."

Program Description:

"Our [Premium/Signature] membership includes [specific features relevant to their goals]. What makes this different from a regular gym is [differentiator relevant to their past frustrations]. The coaching, accountability, and community are what ensure you actually stick with it this time."

Social Proof:

"We had a member, [Name], who started in a very similar situation to you. [Brief transformation story]. That is the kind of result that is possible when you commit to the process."

Phase 4: Enrollment (5-10 minutes)

The Recommendation:

"Based on everything you shared, I recommend our [Tier Name] membership. It includes [relevant features] and is $[Price]/month. We can get you started [specific start date/time]. Does that work for you?"

Then be silent. Wait for their response.

When a prospect calls or messages:

"Thank you for reaching out to [Box Name]! I am [Coach Name]. I would love to learn more about what you are looking for and see if we are a good fit. Do you have about 2 minutes right now, or would you prefer to schedule a quick call?"

If they have time:

"Great! What made you interested in [Box Name] specifically? What are you hoping to achieve with your fitness?"

Goal of call: Schedule the No-Sweat Intro, not sell over the phone.

Closing:

"It sounds like we could definitely help you with [goal]. The best next step is to come in for a complimentary No-Sweat Intro. This is a 30-45 minute conversation where we discuss your goals in detail and map out a plan. No workout, no pressure. Does [Day] at [Time] work for you?"

Before the prospect arrives (coach briefing):

"Today we have [Prospect Name] joining us. Their goals are [goals]. They are concerned about [concern]. Please introduce yourself and make them feel welcome."

When prospect arrives:

"[Prospect Name]! Welcome! I am [Coach Name], and I will be coaching today. Let me introduce you to a few people before we get started. This is [Member 1] and [Member 2]. They have been with us for [time]. Everyone here started exactly where you are."

During class (2-3 check-ins):

"How are you feeling so far? Remember, everything is scalable. We want you to move well and have fun."

After class:

"You did great today! How do you feel? [Listen] I would love to sit down with you for 5 minutes and chat about how this fits into your goals. Do you have a few minutes?"

Setting the stage:

"[Prospect Name], I have enjoyed getting to know you and your goals today. Based on everything you shared, I genuinely believe [Box Name] is the right place for you. Let me walk you through exactly how we would get you started."

Presenting the offer:

"We have three membership options. The one I recommend for you is [Tier Name] because [specific reason tied to their goals]. It is $[Price] per month, which includes [relevant benefits]. Given your goal to [specific goal], this gives you everything you need."

The ask:

"Are you ready to get started? We can have your first official class as early as [specific day]."

If they hesitate:

"What questions do you have? What would make you feel confident moving forward today?"

5.1 Price Objection

"I completely understand. $[Price] is an investment. Let me ask you this: if this membership gets you to [specific goal], and six months from now you feel [specific emotion], would that be worth $[daily cost] per day? That is less than [coffee/smoothie/comparison]. The question is not whether you can afford it. The question is whether you are ready to invest in the transformation you described."

5.2 Time Objection

"I hear this from almost every member we have. The busiest people often get the best results because they value efficiency. Our [specific class time] fits your schedule perfectly. Three hours per week is less than 2% of your total time. The energy and productivity you gain will more than pay back that investment."

5.3 Need to Think About It

"Absolutely, this is an important decision. So I can make sure I have given you everything you need, what specifically are you thinking through? Is it the price, the commitment, or whether this is the right fit for your goals?"

Then address the specific underlying concern.

5.4 Spouse Objection

"Of course. Major decisions should involve your partner. What do you think their biggest question will be? [Address concern]. Would it help if I sent you a one-page summary of what we discussed? Also, many of our members joined because their spouses encouraged them to get healthier. If your partner supports your goals, this conversation should go well."

5.5 Injury/Fitness Level Objection

"I am glad you brought that up. Safety is our top priority. Every single movement can be scaled and modified for your specific needs. Our coaches are trained in movement assessment. In fact, many members came to us specifically because previous gym experiences left them injured. They found that our coaching actually helped them rehabilitate and get stronger than before."

5.6 "I am not fit enough for CrossFit"

"That is exactly why we have a Foundations Course. Every single person in this box started at a different fitness level. We have grandparents and college athletes training alongside each other because everything is scaled to the individual. The question is not whether you are fit enough now. The question is whether you are coachable. Are you willing to learn?"

5.7 "I will get injured"

"I understand that fear. Here is what the data actually shows: CrossFit in a coached environment has a lower injury rate than running, cycling, or traditional weightlifting done alone. Why? Because coaches watch your form, scale movements appropriately, and stop you before dangerous technique develops. Working out alone at home or at a globo gym without coaching is actually higher risk."

5.8 "What if I cannot keep up?"

"You will not need to keep up with anyone. There is no 'keeping up' in our classes. Every workout is scaled individually. You might be doing push-ups on a box while the person next to you is doing handstand push-ups, and both of you are getting exactly the right stimulus. Our coaches are trained to make sure every person gets an appropriate challenge."

5.9 "I need to wait until [future date]"

"I understand the timing feels important. Can I ask: what will be different on [future date] that makes it the right time? [Listen]. Here is what I have observed: the people who say 'I will start next month' often say the same thing next month. The people who start today are the ones who transform. What is really standing between you and starting now?"

5.10 "I can get a cheaper membership elsewhere"

"You absolutely can. And if price is your only criteria, we are probably not the right fit. But let me ask: what is the cost of a cheaper gym that does not get you results? If you pay $50/month for 12 months and nothing changes, you have spent $600 and lost a year. Our members stay because they get results. That is why our average tenure is [X] months. Value matters more than price."

5.11 "I am already a member at another gym"

"That is great that you are already prioritizing fitness. What does your current gym do well? [Listen]. And what are you hoping would be different or better? [Listen]. If those things matter enough to you, it might be worth experiencing how we do them. No pressure to switch - just an opportunity to see if there is a better fit for your goals."

5.12 "I have tried CrossFit before and did not like it"

"I am sorry you had that experience. Not every CrossFit box is the same. What specifically did not work for you? [Listen]. That is actually one of the most common complaints about [specific issue], and it is exactly why we do things differently here. Would you be open to seeing how our approach compares?"

5.13 "I need to lose weight first, then I will join"

"That is one of the most common misconceptions. People think they need to get in shape before joining a gym. But here is the truth: the gym is HOW you get in shape. Waiting to get fit before joining a fitness facility is like waiting to learn piano before taking piano lessons. Our Foundations Course starts exactly where you are."

5.14 "My friend said CrossFit is dangerous"

"I hear that sometimes. And your friend might have had a bad experience at a specific box with poor coaching. That is why choosing the right box matters. We have [X] members who have been training with us for [timeframe] without injury. Our injury rate is [X%], which is lower than running, basketball, and home gym training. Would you like to talk to a few members about their experience?"

5.15 "I am too old for this"

"Our [age range] members are some of our most dedicated. We have members in their 50s, 60s, and beyond. CrossFit is infinitely scalable - the same workout can challenge a 25-year-old competitive athlete and a 55-year-old beginner. The movements and intensity adapt to you. Age is not a limitation; it is just a data point."

5.16 "I travel too much for work"

"That is exactly why we offer hybrid memberships. You get unlimited access when you are in town, plus online programming for when you are traveling. Many of our business travelers love this because they never lose momentum. At $129/month, it is actually less than unlimited and gives you more flexibility."

5.17 "I will just work out at home"

"Home workouts work for some people. The challenge is consistency, coaching feedback, and community accountability. Our members who tried home workouts before joining tell us that having a scheduled class, a coach watching their form, and friends expecting them is what finally made fitness stick. Which of those three matters most to you?"

5.18 "I need to talk to my partner/wife/husband"

"Absolutely. This is a joint decision. What information do you think they will want? [Listen]. Here is what I will do: I will send you a one-page summary of everything we discussed, including the pricing and what is included. Share it with them. If they have questions, I am happy to speak with them directly. When should I follow up with you?"

5.19 "Can I just pay per class?"

"We do offer punch cards, but I want to be honest with you: the members who see the biggest transformations are the ones who commit to a consistent schedule. Drop-in attendance creates inconsistent results, and inconsistent results lead to quitting. A membership creates commitment, and commitment creates transformation. What schedule do you think you could commit to?"

5.20 "What if I do not like it after I join?"

"That is why we have our 30-Day Love-It Guarantee. If you complete your first 30 days, attend at least 12 classes, and genuinely feel this is not the right fit, we will refund your first month in full. No questions asked. We only want members who love being here. The guarantee makes it risk-free for you."

5.21 "I am scared of the commitment"

"I understand. Commitment can feel scary. But consider this: the commitment is actually what creates the results. When you have a scheduled class, a coach expecting you, and a community that notices when you are gone, you show up. And showing up is what transforms you. We are not asking for a lifetime commitment. We are asking for 30 days to prove this works."

5.22 "Do you have student/military/senior discounts?"

"We do offer a [Student/Military] rate at $[Price]. It includes everything in our Premium membership. I will need to see a valid ID when you come in. Does that work for your budget?"

5.23 "What happens if I get injured?"

"If you are injured while training here, our coaches will modify every movement to work around your injury while maintaining your fitness. Many members actually recover faster because we keep them moving safely instead of stopping entirely. We also partner with [physical therapy/chiropractic] for referral if needed."

5.24 "I do not want to get bulky"

"That is a common concern, especially for women. Here is the reality: getting 'bulky' requires very specific training, nutrition, and often genetic factors. CrossFit builds lean muscle, improves body composition, and increases metabolism. Most of our female members actually get smaller and more toned, not bigger. Have you seen [member name]'s transformation?"

5.25 "The class times do not work for my schedule"

"Let me show you our full schedule. [Review schedule]. Which of these times is closest to working? [Listen]. If none of these work, we also offer [personal training/open gym/online programming] as alternatives. What is your ideal time? If there is enough demand, we sometimes add classes."

5.26 "I am recovering from surgery/injury"

"I am sorry to hear that. Recovery is actually a perfect time to start with us because we can work with your physical therapist's guidelines and modify everything appropriately. We have had members start during recovery and find that the structured, scalable approach helped them rebuild faster and stronger than they expected. Would your doctor or PT be open to a conversation?"

Day 30 (Final check-in)

"[Name], I do not want to be a pest, but I also do not want you to miss your window for [specific goal]. Is there anything standing in the way of getting started? I am here to help."

During a Transformation Milestone

"[Name], you have completely transformed since you started. I am amazed by your progress. Who do you know who is struggling with [similar challenge] and could use this kind of support?"

Casual Social Setting

"You know, [Name], you are exactly the kind of person we love having here. Do you have friends or coworkers who would fit in with our community? We are always looking for good people."

Direct Ask

"[Name], as you know, we grow primarily through referrals from members like you. If you know anyone ready to prioritize their fitness, would you mind making an introduction? We will take great care of them."

Spouse/Partner

"Your partner sees your transformation daily. Are they curious about joining? We have a couples rate that makes it really affordable for both of you to train together."

Challenge Invitation

"We are doing a 6-week challenge starting [date]. Know anyone who needs a kickstart or who would love this?"

Phone call to former member:

"Hey [Name], it is [Coach Name] from [Box Name]. I know you canceled a few weeks ago, and I respect that decision. I am calling because I genuinely care about your progress and wanted to check in. How are things going with your fitness?"

Listen to their response. Then:

"I completely understand. Life gets busy. Here is what I have been thinking about: we have made some changes since you left [specific improvement]. And honestly, the community is not the same without you. What would it take for you to give us another shot?"

If they are hesitant:

"How about this: come back for two weeks on us. No charge, no commitment. If it does not feel right, no hard feelings. But I think you will remember why you loved it here. What do you say?"

Opening to HR decision-maker:

"Hi [Name], I am [Coach Name] from [Box Name], a functional fitness facility here in [City]. I work with companies like [Company Name] to help employees improve their fitness, energy, and productivity. I noticed you have [X] employees, and I believe we could create a meaningful wellness program for your team. Do you have 5 minutes for me to share what that looks like?"

The pitch:

"Most corporate wellness programs fail because they are generic and underutilized. We create customized programs that employees actually use. For example, we recently worked with [Similar Company] to provide [specific program details]. Their participation rate was [X]% and [specific results]. I would love to design something similar for [Company Name]."

The close:

"Would you be open to a 20-minute conversation next week where I can share a proposal tailored to your company? I will make it worth your time."
