They definitely do. The person that sells the training only gets 5% of the total deal, and the person that's servicing the client only gets $6/session. The cheapest session they do is $40 (keep in mind these are 1/2 hour sessions). So, they're only paying out $8 from a $40 session. That means that they take roughly 80% of the entire training deal. And that's the cheap end. Someone that signs up for only 3 months of training pays $60/session. That means they're taking 85% of the deal. No wonder they can't keep trainers or clients. The trainers don't give a damn because they're not making anything, and the clients don't stay because of that. Their renewals on clients are for shit.
