Unlocking Scale: How Group Sessions Solve the Attrition Puzzle
In the world of professional coaching, the one-on-one model is often seen as the gold standard. It offers intimacy, deep focus, and tailored intervention. But it also has a silent killer: attrition.
Clients often leave not because they stop needing help, but because the solitary nature of the journey becomes exhausting. They lack community.
For coaches, group sessions are not just a way to add variety; they are the most powerful tool available for retention, engagement, and maximizing revenue per hour. At Dancing Dragons, we have built the infrastructure to make this transition seamless, handling everything from billing to bad apples.
Before we dive into the "why", let’s cover the "how" that every coach asks about:
- Flexible Billing: You choose how to charge. You can bill up-front for a cohort (e.g., "$500 for the 6-week program") to ensure commitment, or offer pay-as-you-go drop-in models to lower the barrier to entry. You can even combine both.
- Aggressive Revenue Share: We believe the talent should keep the money. Hosts take home 85% of the income generated from their groups.
- Fair Co-Hosting Splits: Want to partner up? Our system handles the math. If you co-host, you can split the revenue 50/50 automatically, or define custom splits that work for your partnership.
- Protecting the Group: Worried about a disruptive participant? We have "Ejection Protocols" built into our admin tools. If a "bad apple" spoils the safety of the group, you have the power to remove them and issue pro-rated refunds instantly, preserving the integrity of the container for everyone else.
The Revenue Upside: Why One-to-Many Wins
The math of group sessions is undeniably attractive.
In a traditional model, capping your income is easy—there are only so many hours in a day. If you charge $200 per hour, your ceiling is hard and fast.
However, a group session with 10 participants paying 500 revenue event. For the client, it is more affordable; for you, it is more profitable. But beyond the immediate financial lift, the real value lies in . Clients in groups stay longer because they bond with each other, not just with you. The "FOMO" (Fear Of Missing Out) keeps them coming back week after week.
