Do you know the difference between open and closed enrollment for courses or programs? 

Many people will suggest that it should be closed, but there is no one best way to do anything! It totally depends on your circumstances, offers, and audience. In this episode of Serve Scale Soar®, we are digging into what open and closed enrollment is and how to decide what is right for your business. 

I am also sharing a third option that no one is talking about that helped this business grow to over 1 million dollars!

Now if you don’t have a course, membership, or a leveraged program, don’t jump ship yet! This also works if you are only working with one-on-one clients. This may be a good episode for a strategy to get to your clients. Also, you never know when that course/membership/leveraged program bug may bite.

In this episode, I am showing you all of the possibilities and options you have because it doesn’t have to be an “A” or “B” conversation, it can be a “C, D, E, or F” conversation because when we know what our options are, we can find a model that fits best for our business. 

Value Bombs:

  • Why there isn’t one right way to do anything
  • What open and closed leveraged programs are
  • How to determine what option is best for your business
  • How decision fatigue impacts our business
  • Pros and cons of an open model
  • Pros and cons of a closed model
  • The hybrid approach that grew my business

Thinking outside the box may be just the thing your business needs to grow and reach all of your goals. I hope this episode inspires you to let go of what other people say you should do and instead start thinking about which of these ways works best for you and your business. 

I would love to hear what you think! What sort of enrollment do you have/plan to have on your program? Head over to Instagram and send me a DM so I can hear all about it!
