Episode 283: How to Get New Leads in the Door — Without Hosting Another Workshop

Christa Gurka, MSPT, NCPT- Health and Fitness Business Strategist

Welcome back to another episode of the Female Empowered Podcast! If you’re a fitness or wellness business owner who feels drained by workshops or events that don’t generate enough ROI, this episode is for you. I’m sharing strategic, workshop-free ways to attract high-quality leads and grow your client base — without burning yourself out in the process.

In this episode, we explore smart, sustainable alternatives to traditional workshops - like forming partnerships with complementary businesses, offering free assessments, leveraging client referrals, and reaching out to local healthcare providers. I also dive into how micro-content marketing and challenges can help you attract, engage, and convert your ideal clients with less time and energy.

  • Why workshops might not be the best marketing tool for your business
  • How to build referral pipelines through medical professionals and strategic partnerships
  • What makes micro-content so powerful for lead generation
