Blog: Damned Either Way on Cancellations

Recently, we posed five real scenarios regarding members who asked for special treatment regarding membership cancellations. What we didn't mention is that in each of those cases, we resolved the issue in the member's favor. What we also didn't mention is how little business value we see in those resolutions because those members had no appreciation for the fact that they were asking us for an exception. They just wanted us to do what they wanted.

Had they appreciated it, and maybe gone out to tell their friends how wonderful we are, or maybe just said "thank you," it might have made us feel better. But the truth is that we simply caved to make the problems go away. The sad truth for us, and we believe for many health club owners and managers, is that we're damned if we do and damned if we don't.
