When a package runs out, don't renew on autopilot: check how they used it

You'll know what to offer each client once their package runs out, the same one, a bigger one, or a single session, based on the pace at which they used it, and you'll have the message ready before they hit zero.

The last session of the package runs out and the client just looks at you: "So what now, should I renew?" If you don't have an answer ready, you say "I'll let you know" and that's how you lose the easiest sale you were going to make in weeks.

The other scenario is worse: the package runs out and nothing happens. Nobody says anything. The client assumes that's just the end of it, and the next time they need the service, they check out who else offers it, because you never offered to continue.

Look at how they used it, not whether they finished it

With your package tracking sheet, you always know how many sessions each client has left, as long as you log the date of every session they use. That same number, tracked over the weeks, is what tells you what to offer next: a ten-session package used up in ten weeks is not the same as the same package used up in almost twenty.

The first one showed up every week without fail: they've made the service a routine, and renewing the same package is the shortest conversation you'll have all month. The second one kept putting it off, canceled twice, and showed up right before it expired: if you sell them another package just like it, you'll spend another ten weeks chasing them.

There's a third case, the good one: they burned through it in six weeks instead of ten. They came in more than they were supposed to. That's not the client you repeat the same package for, that's the one you offer a bigger one or a more frequent one to: they're asking for more than you already sold them, even if they don't say it in those words.

Don't make the offer when your sheet shows zero sessions left, make it when there's one left. With the last session already booked, you already know what you're going to say; telling them then, not a week after they've finished, is the difference between them deciding in front of you or deciding without you, comparing prices with another business in the meantime. If your packages expire, let them know how long the new one is good for too: the General Law for the Protection of Consumers and Users requires that, before the client is committed, you inform them of the total price and the length of the contract.
