  3. Gene Desrochers Says:

    As a tennis pro, I’m always looking for better ways to grow my business (I’m a staff pro at a club that doesn’t have huge membership, so I must teach at other venues) and continue to demand “what I am worth” as I have now taught for over 10 years full-time. Any suggestions for low-cost promotion would be appreciated as you are clearly very good at getting your name out there.

  4. Ken DeHart Says:

    Post your services on TennisLessons.com, fee service that people can go to and find pros for lessons, have your info posted on your USPTA personal site for the “Find a Pro” for players looking for a pro in their area.
    Offer a discount for students who refer a lesson to you. That is the most valuable tool you have – your current students. Give them a card with your information on it that they can give to their friends – cost little – big return

    Keep learning each day.
    Ken
