Send Jackie A Message!What does a profitable, well-run Black Friday sale actually look like for a yoga or Pilates studio?In this episode of the Studio CEO Podcast, Jackie Murphy breaks down how one of her private coaching clients generated $81,605 in revenue over Black Friday weekend — without chaos, burnout, or massive ad spend.Jackie walks through the exact strategy behind the sale, including why repeating proven campaigns matters more than reinventing them, how omnichannel marketing drives conversions, and how paid ads can support organic marketing instead of replacing it.

Send Jackie A Message!If your emails are only telling people when your next class is… they’re probably not working.Most yoga and Pilates studio owners think they’re nurturing their audience when they send a weekly newsletter. But logistics like schedules and price updates don’t build belief—and belief is what actually turns warm leads into paying clients.In this episode of The Studio CEO, Jackie Murphy shares the three content types that bridge the gap between “interested” and “invested,” helping you turn subscribers into students, class-takers into members, and clients into lifers.What You’ll Learn in This Episode:Why nurture content works (and why logistics emails fall flat)The psychology behind why warm leads need belief, not just informationPractical examples of nurture content you can create right nowHow to shift your emails from “nice to know” → “necessary to read”3 content types to start sending this week:Behind-the-scenes belief buildingYour unique point of view (POV)Story-based content (yours + your clients’)Your audience is already warm. They’ve signed up, they’re curious, and they want change. But until you show them why it matters and help them believe transformation is possible, they won’t take the leap.When you stop sending logistics and start sending belief-driven content, your nurture emails stop being ignored—and start creating conversions.The next time you sit down to write an email, ask yourself:"Am I just informing—or am I inspiring?"Because your subscribers don’t need more information. They need transformation. And it starts with content that helps them believe it’s possible.

Send Jackie A Message!In this episode, I teach you exactly what you should be doing in your after class announcements.This will apply to you, whether you're teaching group Asana classes, a Meditation Teacher or a Studio Owner.Here's why I'm so passionate about this: In my first year teaching yoga full-time, I drove 40,000 miles in one city, teaching class after class — and that year, I only made $15k.Why? Because I didn't have the business skills I needed to make sure the time I spent teaching turned into more revenue.I didn't have anyone telling me "You need marketing and selling skills, and you need to create an irresistible offer."I was just hoping my after class announcement would make people want to do a Private Session with me, or join a Retreat with me.But just saying the logistics of your next offer out loud will not generate revenue.When you do these announcements right, your students will rave about their experience at your studio or in your class, they'll refer more people to you, and your sales will increase!IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN:How to differentiate delivering from sellingWhat most Yoga businesses do wrong hereWhy the Bystander Effect keeps people from jumping on your after class announcementExactly what you need to make a clear, well-crafted offerHow many logistics to include in your announcement (hint: zero) Work with Jackie MurphySay Hi on Instagram @studioceoofficialJoin The Studio CEO Program: https://www.jackiegmurphy.com/studioceo-newThe Studio CEO Ads Agency: https://www.jackiegmurphy.com/agencyFree WorkshopYour Next 100 Students Free Workshop: https://www.jackiegmurphy.com/next100ogJoin the Reels Drop WaitlistGet done-for-you Reels templates sent to your inbox: https://www.jackiegmurphy.com/reelswaitlist

Send Jackie A Message!Most studio owners do not have a time problem. They have a dependency problem, and those two things have completely different solutions.In this episode, Jackie Murphy walks through what she did to her business before her third maternity leave. She pulled herself out early, on purpose, so she could watch what broke while she was still there to fix it. You do not plan for your absence. You rehearse it.She breaks down the five places she had to work: team (why she stopped hiring people who execute and started hiring people who build the system), decisions (handing off the call, not just the task), client delivery (building a bench instead of being the product), marketing (what keeps running when you stop), and money (funding a paid three month leave instead of chasing a bigger revenue number).If you have ever answered a sub text from a pool chair on vacation, this one is for you. Your version of this deadline just has not landed on the calendar yet.TIMESTAMPED OUTLINE[00:00] Why Jackie left her business before her leave started[02:00] What happens to the podcast during maternity leave[04:02] Why this matters even if you are not having a baby[06:08] Time problem or dependency problem: how to tell[07:43] Doing the job vs. building the system[11:00] Doubling the team and hiring builders instead of doers[14:20] Handing off decisions, not just tasks: the decision ladder[16:16] Client delivery: build a bench instead of being the product[19:52] Why marketing came fourth on the list[21:56] The money: funding a paid three month leave[25:02] The leadership work underneath all of itKEY TAKEAWAYS✓ You do not plan for your absence. You rehearse it while you are still there to fix what breaks. ✓ Efficiency fixes a time problem. Only a different business fixes a dependency problem. ✓ Someone who executes gives you labor. Someone who documents while they execute gives you an asset. ✓ Handing off the task is not the same as handing off the decision. Write the decision ladder. ✓ If your marketing stops when you stop, you do not have a marketing system. You have a task you perform. ✓ A paid leave is a different goal than a bigger revenue year, and it takes a different plan.PULL QUOTES"I wanted to know what would break while I was still here to fix it.""You do not have a time problem. You have a dependency problem.""One of those is labor. The other one is an asset.""Do not just document the task. Document the decisions.""The standard was not keep things running. The standard was keep clients growing.""Sometimes bigger revenue is not the goal. A paid maternity leave is the goal."FAQsHow do I prepare my studio business for maternity leave? Start early and remove yourself before you have to. Hand off decisions, document systems, and staff the gaps while you are still there to fix what breaks.What is the difference between a time problem and a dependency problem? A time problem means you need to get more done in the hours you have. A dependency problem means the business cannot run without you. Efficiency fixes one. Team and systems fix the other.Should I hire someone to do the work or build the system? Hire the person who documents how the work gets done while she does it. She costs more and is harder to find, and she is the one who makes the business less dependent on any one person.What is a decision ladder? A one page document listing which decisions your team makes alone, which they bring to you, and which only you make. It stops the constant questions.Can a studio run without the owner teaching or coaching? Yes, when results come from the business you built rather than your personal presence. Build a pipeline of people who deliver as well as you or better.What should my marketing do while I am away? Keep awareness marketing running to find new people and nurture marketing running to serve the people already in your world. What you do today shows up in 90 days.
