✓ Provides a more cost-effective management solution
I used several different software to run my karate school.
Before ClubRight, I used several different systems and processes to manage our student & class data – Excel, MailChimp, Facebook and a direct debit collections system to name a few! None of these systems were integrated and the vast majority of information had to be manually cross-referenced and updated. This process was costing me far too much time.
It got to a point where I realised we needed to streamline our student processes and focus on efficiency, bringing all the different management tools together in one place.
Why we chose ClubRight.
I was drawn to ClubRight because it seemed very easy to use and ticked all our martial arts school management boxes. The price was also a bonus because it looked set to save us money while giving us more functionality because we’d be paying for one software rather than having a number of different subscriptions to pay for.
The only thing that I was a little apprehensive about was the bulk transfer from our previous Direct Debit collections service to ClubRight Pay, as I’d never been through that process before. Would it go smoothly?
Thankfully, ClubRight made the process straightforward and supported us every step of the way.
I’ve reduced the time I spend on admin by 50%.
Now that we use ClubRight, it’s saved me at least 50% – yes, 50% – of my admin time. The software has done exactly what it promised to and brought all of our processes into one place, and the reports have given me such powerful insight into the business.
ClubRight helps me manage every element of the martial arts school, whether it’s budgeting, class planning or promotion and marketing. My favourite feature is probably the Student App. Our students can download it and book/pay for their classes and it’s made it so simple for new students to join – I don’t have to get involved in the process until it comes to teaching the classes (which is why I started the karate school in the first place!)
On top of this, ClubRight’s staff are super helpful, and what I appreciated most is they gave me really honest information before I signed up. They took the time to make sure their software was the right solution for my martial arts school and helped me set up all the different tools and features in a way that made sense for our business. It’s like they’re part of my team.
Would we recommend ClubRight?
Yes, I’d totally recommend ClubRight for all of the reasons I’ve written above. It’s made my business easier to manage, improved efficiency and it’s given me more time to concentrate on being a good sensei for my students. It’s the best thing I’ve done to help manage the business and it’s exactly what I’ve been waiting for.
ClubRight will save you time and money, so if you’re contemplating signing up, speak to a member of their team and get an online demo. You’ll love it!
Thank you, ClubRight.
