S5 EP 04: How to Get a $5,000 Raise (or more) in 2020 w/ Will Robins
If you’re a typical Golf Professional that takes on a number of different roles and responsibilities, even if you love to teach, finding time to fit in golf lessons can be a challenge. Do you come in early? Stay late? Sacrifice time you set aside for other tasks and say yes to the lesson request? It’s a conundrum that we often fall into.And for a lot of Golf Professionals, the opportunity to teach provides one of the few chances to significantly increase their income. So we squeeze in lessons so we can make our members and customers happy, while telling ourselves “at least I’m making a few extra bucks”. Then there’s the question of whether or not we’re helping our students actually lower their scores. Does the traditional range session truly develop a better golfer? Or should we be out on the golf course, practicing in the field of play, coaching our players to get the ball in the hole in fewer strokes?Will Robins has the answers to these questions.For years now, Will has been producing results for players by taking them on the golf course, often in groups and teams, to show them how to shoot lower scores, instead of starting with mechanical fixes and technical training on the range. His patented “Scoring Method” provides a foundation for his players to grab what amounts to “the low hanging fruit” by tracking simple stats and bringing their opportunities to light. The results he’s produced, speak for themselves.Will is “Revolutionizing Golf Instruction” and it’s the mission behind his company RGX. With RGX, Will guides golf coaches all over the world to discover their ability to produce impactful results for their players and their businesses. Through RGX, there are Golf Professionals that have generated life changing improvements to their business, without standing on the lesson tee from sunup to sundown, day after day. Will is producing solutions to two major issues for today’s Golf Professionals. How do we help our players improve so that they play more golf and get value out of the time and money they spend at our facilities? And personally, how do we make a positive impact on our income without committing to more time spent on the lesson tee?Will’s backstory is unlike any other. As an aspiring Professional, ready for life on tour, his life changed in an instant as the devastating Indonesian Tsunami swept up his new wife and him on their honeymoon in 2004. While he and his wife were lucky to survive the disaster that claimed over 200,000 lives, due to injury, Will’s tour aspirations eventually disappeared. He wasn’t able to play to the level he once did, and began to give lessons as a way to stay around the game. However as Will has said, he doesn’t view this as a negative. Instead, it created the opportunity for him to uncover his true purpose. The purpose of improving the games of golfers young and old, while bettering the lives of Golf Professionals all over the world. While Will’s personal story is inspiring, I hope that you find more motivation in this conversation. It’s all about how to quickly and easily generate more income in 2020. There’s the chance that this will be the start of the best season you’ve ever had in lesson income. Just follow Will’s advice and I certainly think it can be.You can find out more about RGX and Will at www.robinsgx.com and at www.thescoringmethod.com.
