In the gym business, effectively managing client relationships is essential to maintaining smooth operations and fostering a healthy business environment. APPTOFIT, committed to helping fitness businesses streamline their client management, is excited to announce a powerful new feature: the Blacklist System. This tool allows gym owners to efficiently handle problematic clients, offering two levels of status warnings that enhance both risk management and internal communication.
What is the Blacklist System?
The Blacklist System in APPTOFIT introduces two levels of status indicators for clients: Blacklist Warning and Blacklist Completely. Each status provides visual cues for gym staff and restricts or cautions interactions with problematic clients. With this feature, admins alone have the authority to assign blacklist statuses, ensuring careful consideration before action is taken.
1. Blacklist Warning
The Blacklist Warning status serves as a preliminary alert for employees:
- Visual Cue: The client’s page background changes to orange, immediately notifying all employees of the cautionary status.
- No Service Restriction: The client can still renew services, but the status encourages employees to handle interactions carefully and monitor the client’s behavior closely.
2. Blacklist Completely
The Blacklist Completely status is for clients with severe or repeated issues:
- Visual Cue: The client’s page background changes to red, marking a high-alert status that is visible to all staff.
- Service Restriction: Clients tagged with this status are restricted from renewing any services, effectively pausing their engagement with the business until further action is taken.
Benefits of the Blacklist System
The Blacklist System offers several advantages that enhance gym client management and protect the business:
Enhanced Risk Management
By categorizing clients with an orange Blacklist Warning or a red Blacklist Completely status, gyms can better manage risks. The visual cues provide immediate context to employees, allowing them to handle client interactions with caution, based on the severity of the client’s past actions.
Improved Internal Communication
The Blacklist feature simplifies communication about client statuses. With a quick glance, employees understand a client’s status based on the page background color. This reduces miscommunication, ensuring that everyone in the team is aware of the client’s standing and can act accordingly.
Controlled Client Interaction
Through the Blacklist Completely status, admins can prevent certain clients from renewing services, granting the gym greater control over client relationships. This feature is particularly helpful for handling clients who have consistently failed to meet obligations or caused repeated disruptions.
How It Works
The Blacklist System is easy to use and accessible from the APPTOFIT admin dashboard:
- Admin Access: Only admins can assign a blacklist status, ensuring that only authorized personnel make this decision.
- Assigning a Status: Through the admin dashboard, select the desired client and apply either a Blacklist Warning or Blacklist Completely status.
- Employee Notification: Once assigned, the client’s page background changes to the corresponding color (orange for warning, red for complete blacklist), so all employees are immediately aware of the client’s status.
- Operational Restrictions: Clients marked with a Blacklist Completely status cannot renew services, while clients with a Blacklist Warning can continue to renew, but with increased awareness from staff.
