Tips For Creating Long Lasting School-Club Links

[.blue__text]2. Be Crystal Clear[.blue__text] 

Winning schools over and convincing them that you’re the right fit doesn’t have to be super difficult. You just have to be very clear on what you can offer them. Show these schools and nurseries what you're all about, and why you're the club they need on their team! Your club is like no other, and you've got the secret sauce to spice up their learning journey. Let them in on how your activity supercharges the curriculum and solves issues that teachers and kids face every day! Maybe, your club is an amazing, creative outlet for kids that teaches children valuable lessons in how to focus for longer periods of time. That is a skill that the kids will automatically be using in class. And bam! You're solving issues like a real-life superhero!

You should think of the club-school link in the long run. Schools are all about the long-term, value for their coins, and outcomes that keep on giving. Don't worry about being the cheapest club in town. Your real superpower lies in providing valuable solutions and showing how you're the solution to their daily challenges! Try this: instead of offering schools cheaper one-off sessions, commit to the long-term and offer your services for a longer period of time. 9 times out of 10, schools want something valuable and stable rather than a one-time collaboration with you. Especially if you can prove that this is the most benefitial option for the kids!

When you’re approaching schools to work with them, you’ll need a grand master plan for how you’ll seal the deal. You’ll want to consider how you’ll approach schools and nurseries, what you can offer them, and, finally, how you’ll follow through and sell. It’s no good to put all of your effort into showing them why you’re the hero they’ve been waiting for if you don’t follow through and chase them up for a definite answer. In your demonstration, leave them with a cliffhanger question: "Are you ready to join forces with my club?" And when they say yes (they will!), have a contract in place, ready to seal the deal!
