Other problems that take time away from what you enjoy:
Empty arenas mean lost income. Automatic reminders can reduce no-shows by up to 80%, putting thousands back in your pocket every month.
You've set aside time, prepared the arena, maybe even turned away other students. Then your 3pm lesson doesn't show up. No call, no text. That's money you'll never get back.
Students forget they have a lesson scheduled
Last-minute cancellations leave slots unfilled
No way to quickly fill cancelled slots
Lost income from empty time slots
Instructors frustrated by wasted time
No consequences for chronic no-shows
$500-2,000/month
At $60/lesson with a 15% no-show rate, a busy instructor loses $900+ monthly. That's $10,000+ per year walking out the door.
