Well Above Avg
April is your best month ever at 41%. Zen Planner cross-reference confirmed 16 sign-ups from April's 39 trials — the tracker had only captured 10. ZP is source of truth. The progression is clear: Jan 24.7% → Feb 33.3% → Mar 38.0% → Apr 41.0%. Four straight months of improvement. May is 8 days in with 4 sign-ups — 16% is early, not final. Those 5 fresh HIGH leads (Tian Qin, Ozzie, Victoria, Brandon, Riuxuan) could push May past 30% if you message them today.

April weeks were much stronger than the tracker showed. ZP-verified: Apr 6 week hit 50%, Apr 13 at 28.6% (was 14.3%), Apr 20 at 35.7%. Mar 30 hit 66.7% on 3 trials. The low-close weeks now are Jan 5 (12.5%), Jan 26 (11.1%), and May 4 (14.3%). May 4 is fresh — 14 people showed up, only 2 signed up in the tracker so far. Follow up on those 5 HIGH leads this week. That's your lever.

Your best coaches should be on the 12 PM and 1:30 PM slots where the numbers prove the pitch works.

Conversion Rate by Day
Monday (33.3%) and Wednesday (29.6%) close best
Friday is collapsing. 35 trials, only 6 sign-ups — 17.1% is the worst day by far. That means roughly 1 in 6 Friday trials converts. Saturday volume hit 56 (your busiest day ever) but closes at only 25.0%. Monday leads at 33.3%, Wednesday at 29.6%. If you can shift Friday energy into Monday and Wednesday close quality, your overall rate climbs fast. Friday needs a dedicated closer or a different pitch.

Trial Volume by Class
Muay Thai dominates at 89% of active trials (198 of 223)
Conversion Rate by Class
BJJ converts at less than half the Muay Thai rate
BJJ is slowly improving. 21 BJJ trials, 4 sign-ups (19.0%). Muay Thai closes at 27.8%. BJJ went from 11.8% → 16.7% → 19.0% — the trend is moving right. Still 8+ points behind Muay Thai. Assign a dedicated BJJ coach for every trial, do a structured post-class pitch, and offer the 5-class pass on the spot. The improvement is real — keep pushing.

Instagram is still broken. Reddit just showed up. Google is your powerhouse. ZP-verified: Google closes at 35.8% (44 sign-ups from 123 trials). Referrals are now at 23.1% — up from the tracker's 17.9%. Walk-ins still close at 66.7%. Reddit appeared in May with 50% on 2 trials. Instagram: 5 trials, 0 sign-ups across 5 months — that's a dead channel until you change the CTA. Note: source attribution for 5 of the 10 newly confirmed sign-ups is estimated proportionally from the April source mix.

The gap is widening — now 7.3 points. Athletes with prior gym experience convert at 31.5% vs. 24.2% for beginners. That's a clear signal: experienced athletes are more ready to commit. The bigger story: 153 of your 226 trials had zero gym background — that's 68% of your funnel. Keep the beginner experience strong, but consider a dedicated pitch for the experienced athlete who already knows the value of training. That 7.3-point gap is money left in the room.

Google is accelerating. ZP-verified: Jan 30% → Feb 36% → Mar 46% → Apr 52%. That's a straight line up for 4 months. Referrals in April also jumped to 25% (was 8.3% in tracker) — more people followed through than the form captured. Walk-ins close at 60-100% every time they show up. Reddit hit 50% in May. The big takeaway: your Google presence is your best sales rep. Invest more in it.

Fix: Send a reminder text the morning of every trial booking. Use Zen Planner's automation to trigger a "See you today!" message 2 hours before class. No-show rate of 4.0% across 226 bookings is manageable — but at 31.0% conversion, those 9 no-shows likely cost 2-3 members and $2,500+ in 6-month recurring revenue.

Notes
Start with the 17 HIGH priority leads in Zen Planner today. 5 of them trialed THIS WEEK (Tian Qin, Ozzie Barroso, Victoria Stephens, Brandon Zhao, Riuxuan Zhao) — they are HOT right now. Use this message: "Hey [Name], great having you at Hinds! Ready to lock in your spot? We have a 5-class pass for $150 — perfect way to get started. Reply here or sign up online." Note: ZP April cross-reference confirmed 5 more people signed up (Shriui Wang, Rohit Mandavia, Dino Romano, Po Ng, Alex Usachev) — they were removed from this list. Your real conversion rate is 31%, not 26.5%.

Growth Recommendations
6 actions based on April close-out data — close more, market harder, automate the rest
Action #1 — Do This Today
Message the 17 HIGH Priority Leads Now
5 people trialed THIS WEEK: Tian Qin, Ozzie Barroso, Victoria Stephens, Brandon Zhao, Riuxuan Zhao. Text them within 24 hours.
For all 17 HIGH leads use: "Hey [Name], great having you at Hinds! Ready to lock in your spot? We have a 5-class pass for $150 — perfect way to start. Reply or sign up online."
Set a 7-day follow-up reminder in Zen Planner for non-responders.
160 warm leads. Even 20% close rate = 32 new members = $32K+ in 6-month revenue.
Action #2 — May Marketing Push
Launch a "Summer Strong" Campaign for May & June
People start gym shopping in May before summer — you have a 6-week window right now.
Run a Google Ad campaign targeting "Muay Thai LIC" and "martial arts Long Island City" — your Google trials already close at 30.9%. Paid clicks will compound that.
Post 3x/week on Instagram: 1 class clip Reel, 1 member story, 1 "book your free trial" post. No posts = no new eyeballs.
Add a banner to your Google Business profile: "Free Trial Class — No Experience Needed." Update your photos with recent class shots.
Google is your #1 volume closer at 30.9%. Reddit is showing 50% — watch it. More visibility = more trials = more revenue.
Action #3 — Saturday Conversion Fix
Saturday Has 56 Trials and Only 25.0% Conv — Fix the Close
Saturday is your busiest day by far (56 trials). But it only closes at 25.0% — below your Thursday (27.8%) and Monday (33.3%) rates.
Assign your best closer to Saturday post-class conversations. After the session ends, give a 2-minute pitch: "Here's what the next 3 months look like if you join today."
Offer a Saturday-only deal: "Sign up today and get your first month at $149." Urgency + discount = faster yes.
Raise Saturday conv from 25% to 33% = ~4 extra sign-ups per month = $676+/mo recurring.
Action #4 — Referral Engine Reboot
Turn Your 60 Members Into a Recruiting Team
You have 70 confirmed members. If each brings 1 friend per quarter, that's 70 new trial leads — for free.
Announce in every class: "Bring a friend this month. They get a free trial. You get a free class." Say it out loud. Put a sign at the front desk.
Referral conv is only 17.9% right now. The fix: pair the referred friend with the member in class. Buddy system = higher commitment = higher close rate.
Track referral source in Zen Planner so you can reward the top referrers with a shoutout or free month.
78 referral trials in 4+ months. At 25% conv (vs current 17.9%) = 6 extra sign-ups.
Action #5 — Friday Traffic Boost
Friday Is Your Weakest Day (21.4%) — Make It a Trial Day
35 trials, only 6 sign-ups on Fridays — worst conv all week at 17.1%. Two options: fix the close OR shift Friday into a "trial-friendly" day.
Create a Friday Intro Night: market it specifically to beginners ("Never trained before? Start Fridays at 6:30 PM"). Beginners are 68% of your traffic already.
Post on Instagram and Google every Thursday: "Join us tomorrow — free first class." One post, one CTA, one day lead time.
Friday has volume. Fix the close or build a new entry point. Either way, 21% should not stay.
Action #6 — No-Show Recovery + BJJ Fix
Set Up Automations That Run Without You
No-shows: Use Zen Planner automation — text every trial booking 2 hours before class: "See you today at [time]! Address: [address]. Come 5 min early." One setup, runs forever.
BJJ: 21 trials, 4 signed up (19.0% and rising vs Muay Thai's 27.8%). Keep the dedicated BJJ coach on every trial. The trend is improving — don't stop now.
Re-engagement: Set a 30-day automated email for MED priority leads who haven't responded: "Still training? We have a spot for you." Let the system chase — you focus on new traffic.
Automations = revenue while you sleep. 9 no-shows likely cost 2-3 members. Fix it once.

Zen Planner Sign-Up Cross-Reference
Jan, Feb & Mar 2026 ZP members matched against Master Data trial records
Action Required: 11 People Said "Yes" (Jan–Mar) — But Still Unverified in Zen Planner
These people are marked Signed Up = YES in the trial tracker but do NOT appear in the Jan–Apr Zen Planner exports. Check each one — every missing account = potential lost recurring revenue. Update: Johanna Garzon resolved — confirmed in April ZP export (signed Apr 10).
