Why Trying to Please Everyone Will Tank Your Affiliate

Almost every struggling affiliate owner I work with has the same problem: they can't figure out who their business is for.

They try to be everything to everyone, saying yes to every potential client who walks through their door.

While this may seem like good business sense, it is one of the quickest paths to failure in the CrossFit affiliate space.

Who Is Your Offer For?

When building a sustainable CrossFit affiliate, you must understand selection and deselection.

  • Selection is identifying exactly who you want to serve.

  • Deselection — equally important but often overlooked — involves identifying who you do not want to serve.

Tragedy struck at the Cholula Games in San Andrés Cholula, Mexico, on Friday when competitor Nayeli Clemente went into cardiac distress during the first event of the competition, which included a “Team Pyramid Run” in the heat.

After she was tended to by Dr. Daniela Castruita – a spectator who was not part of the competition’s medical team but spoke with the Morning Chalk Up – Clemente was taken to the hospital in critical condition, but passed away later.
