JDKJN Martin – THE P.I.A.E.R.R. FORMULA There is a formula that is used by many successful martial art school owners, which consists of six simple letters. P.I.A.E.R.R.So here it is the formula for successful retention. Progress: When you operate a martial art school, itʼs all about progress, with yourself, staff, and most importantly your students. If you want students tostay motivated they must see progress right from the start. Students must see and hear about progress. When a student hears about progress it leads to: Interest: The key is when you show you are interested in your students thenthey become more interested in the school and their lessons. And if they are interested in making progress then it leads to great; Attendance: It sounds so simple, but if your students are interested in making progress, then they will inevitably have good attendance. Great attendance is having two or three lessons a week. If a student is only coming once a week or not at all some weeks they simply are not going to make progress, which generally means that they are not interested. As a school owner itʼs important to get all your students on a regular schedule in attending class. So to recap, if a student is making progress then they are interested, so they fit in with regular class schedule, which means they are going to be ready for… Exams: If they have attended class with high interest and have great attendance, they are not only going to be testing but testing on time. This is an important aspect. Every student should be testing every three months toward a new level. If a student misses lessons and falls behind schedule then the whole formula of PIAERR will have the opposite effect, less progress, less interest, and even less attendance. However, if you do have all your students testing on time, then this will lead to… Retention: This PIAERR formula not only helps to promote student retention and renewal of the individual class programme it can also lead to… Referrals: If we keep our existing students happy then they will keep coming to class, testing on time, which in turn makes them feel excited and wanting to talk about their martial art school and this often leads to additional referral of friends.
