first thing you will want
to do is contact all
your friends and
relatives and let them
know about your
exciting new business.

You entered personal
training to help
people, so this is a
great time to ask
them how you can
help them or their
friends.

Once you have made sure
all your friends and family
know about your new
career, you can start visiting
local social and civic
organizations such as the
rotary club, chamber of
commerce, and similar
business networking clubs in
your area.

In addition you may want
to reach out to local
charities to see if you can
offer free personal training
sessions as an item at
auction. This is a great way
to get yourself exposure to
those individuals who can
afford your services.

When someone bids on
your services this also
indicates they are
interested in personal
training, so you will want to
make sure you follow up
with the non-profit to get
the names and contact
info of all those who bid.
