Episode 88: Thinking Beyond COVID-19 at TJ’s Gym

According to TJ Belger, there are three spreadsheets you need to put together right now.

The owner of TJ’s Gym, with three locations in California, Belger said there was definitely an adjustment period to going virtual. However, he and his team have learned a lot along the way.

But, what is really going to matter is what happens after the coronavirus is over. How will your business respond then?

Belger shared in this episode of Box Talk not only how he’s been creative in virtual offerings, but also the steps he’s taking to plan out the next year – well, as much as you can plan anything during a pandemic. As such, he encourages other Affiliates to do the same, giving applicable advice on how to do so.
