Incoming Call...

Parent

"Hi, my 7-year-old son is interested in karate. Can we try a class?"

AI Receptionist

"Perfect! We have beginner classes for his age. Our next free trial is Tuesday at 4:30 PM. Should I book that for you?"

✓ Trial Class Booked • Tuesday 4:30 PM

The Problem

KIDS' KARATE PROGRAMS
LOSE STUDENTS EVERY DAY

You're losing enrollments every day while your phone rings unanswered. Parents call during class time, trial lessons get forgotten, and your front desk can't keep up. There's a better way.

You Miss Calls During Class Hours

A parent finds your program at 7 PM, calls while you're teaching, and gets voicemail. By the time you call back the next morning, they've already enrolled their child with the dojo down the street that answered immediately.

The Cost
$1,800/month
Lost per missed enrollment

Your Front Desk Is Drowning in Calls

While you're teaching a class, three more calls come in. Trial lesson requests, belt testing questions, schedule changes—you can't be everywhere at once. Parents get frustrated waiting, and you lose enrollments.

The Cost
40+ calls/day
Per martial arts instructor

Trial Lessons No-Show and You Lose Them Forever

You block off time, prepare the mat, and wait. They don't show. You send one follow-up text that gets ignored. That's it—they're gone. No second chance, no recovery, just wasted time and another lost student who could have joined your program.
