Congratulations Troy Ingram with Gracie Jiu Jitsu Chesapeake
🎉 Big shoutout to Troy Ingram from Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Chesapeake! After spending some time talking with Troy, one thing became very clear: this guy is sharp. He loves tracking data, pays attention to the details, asks thoughtful questions, and genuinely wants to understand what’s happening inside his academy—not just guess. What I respect most is that he also understands the value of mentorship. No matter how smart we are, we can all get where we’re trying to go faster when we have someone helping us identify blind spots and stay focused on the right things. I’m excited to work with Troy through the Black Belt Business Advisory Program and see what we can accomplish together. Welcome aboard, brother. Let’s grow. 👊

@Austin Marshall unfortunately there’s a lot of academy owners who don’t even know how to track churn let alone actually do it😃 I’m glad to know that you are tracking it though! There’s many strategies we can utilize to increase retention! 😊 We’d love to jump on a one on one call with you https://calendly.com/blackbeltbusiness/30min

Is Your School Running on Systems… or Memory?
I just had an amazing 1-on-1 audit call with a school owner, and one thing became really clear: A lot of school owners don’t need more ideas. They need systems. Systems that make the day-to-day easier. Systems that create a trackable, repeatable process. Systems that allow the school to grow without everything living in the owner’s head. And honestly, I think this is normal for a lot of us. Most schools start with the owner holding everything together through hard work, memory, experience, and instinct. But at some point, growth requires structure. So I’m curious… Where do you feel like your school is right now? 1️⃣ Most things are still in my head 2️⃣ We have some systems, but they’re not consistent yet 3️⃣ We have systems, but we need better tracking 4️⃣ We’re pretty dialed in, but always improving Drop your number below 👇

Summer cancellations?
Has anybody had your typical summer cancellations or holds? For us thank God it’s been very low.

@Austin Marshall great question! Regarding cancellation policy, we personally have a 60 day cancellation notice. If they leave with a balance owing, then that balance must be repaid before they are allowed to return. We leave emotion out of it and keep it business 😃
