A follow-up schedule after a trial class
When to message parents after a trial, and what to say each time.
29 October 2026
Many parents who enjoy a trial still do not join, simply because life gets busy. A gentle, planned follow-up brings many of them back.
Same evening
Thank them, share one specific observation from the coach and recommend a batch. Include how to enrol.
Two days later
If they have not replied, send a short message answering the most likely question: fees, timings or how the first month works.
One week later
Mention a concrete reason to start now: a new batch starting, limited spots, or the next term. Keep it honest.
After that
Stop chasing. Add a note to try again at the start of the next season or holiday break.
Tips
- Keep every message short and easy to reply to.
- Never send the same text twice.
- Track who you have followed up with, so nobody gets missed or messaged three times in one day.
