Almighty Coach

Ironman Training Center.

Max, the owner of the training center, turned to the phone receiver and said affectionately: "Mr. Hanks, you have been training with us for two years. If you have any dissatisfaction with our training plan, we will let you know." Can be modified according to your requirements, you don't have to go anywhere else..."

"Max, in the past two years, I have worked with you very happily, and I am also very satisfied with your training, but I am a mountaineering enthusiast, and I have always wanted to challenge Mount Everest. Standing on the world's highest peak is my passion. Dream, that's why I changed training centers. You know, climbing Mount Everest is a very dangerous thing, very demanding on the body, if I'm not fit enough, I will die on the way, even the body I will be responsible for my own life." The voice on the other side of the phone paused, and then continued:

"A friend of mine is also a mountaineering enthusiast. He and I joined the same mountaineering club. Just last week, he successfully climbed Mount Everest. Before that, he was only in the 'Coach Li Physical Training Center' After three months of physical training, I also plan to spend three months on serious physical training, and then try to challenge Mount Everest in September!"

Max put down the phone with a depressed expression on his face.

"Another client has been lost, and it's that, Coach Li's training center! Several branches have been opened, and they have taken away my business." Max snorted coldly, and he picked up the last three months The performance report, with a look of distress.

In the past three months, the Ironman Training Center lost a lot of high-end customers, which made their performance a lot worse. For the service industry, the more high-end customers are, the higher the profits that can be brought. Sometimes the accumulated income of dozens of ordinary customers may not be equal to one high-end customer. This is like a housing agency. The income commission for selling a luxury villa is comparable to selling a dozen small houses.

Almost all of these high-end customers went to Dai Li's training center, to be precise, Dai Li's newly opened branch. The person in charge of one of the branches is none other than Chris Payton.

This made Max feel like he was shooting himself in the foot. Back then, Peyton came to the Iron Man Training Center to apply for a job, but Max deliberately pushed him to Dai Li's place. Max originally wanted to cause trouble for Dai Li, but he didn't expect that in just a few years, Peyton would grow into a man who could take care of himself. coach.

"It's not an option to go on like this!" Max leaned on the back of the chair, thinking with his head down.

"Dai Li's training center expanded too fast, and opened three branches in such a short period of time, but he didn't seem to understand that the fitness training center is not a chain supermarket, and the more openings the better, the most important thing The most important thing is talent, and the coach is the core of the physical training hall."

Thinking of this, Max suddenly laughed to himself, he already had a plan in mind.

...

Jones sat on the sofa, quietly looking at the contract in front of him, with hesitation written all over his face.

Jones is a coach who has worked in many gyms. He applied to work in Dai Li's physical training center two years ago.

In the past two years, Jones has made some achievements, and has a certain amount of customer resources in his hands. At the same time, Jones also feels that his training level has improved significantly. In the past, he could only work as a coach for some ordinary people in small and medium-sized gyms, but now he can already handle the professional training of athletes.

Not long ago, Dai Li opened a branch store. As an old employee of the physical training center, Jones was also transferred to the new store as an assistant. This was a promotion for Jones, but just when Jones was about to show off, he got a on this contract.

The boss of the Iron Man Training Center, Max, personally came to the door and presented him with this contract. The contract offered a salary that was 50% higher than his current salary. Obviously, Max came to poach people.

Jones was originally just an ordinary coach, and his level was limited to an ordinary gym. Naturally, his salary could not be too high. With his real training level, Dai Li's salary for him is already a price of conscience. But when Jones saw the salary offered by the Ironman Training Center, he was really moved.

Of course, Jones also knew that how much money he got, he had to do as much work as possible. Or to put it another way, since you get a high salary, it should reflect the value of the high salary.

"I have been with Coach Li for two years, and I have learned a lot. I have also read all the training plans he made for professional athletes. I feel that there is nothing special about them. I can also make them. .And now that I am not what I used to be, I should have no problem dealing with professional athletes."

Jones took another look at the salary on the contract and finally made up his mind.

...

When it was dawn, the ringtone of the mobile phone woke up Li Dai from his sleep. The caller ID showed an international number, and Li Dai recognized that it was an international call from Blake.

"Randy, what's the matter?" Dai Li picked up the phone.

"Li, congratulations on your engagement first, and sorry to disturb you at this time..." Blake's voice sounded: "It's night on the US side, but it should be morning on your side, isn't it dawn?" Blake asked.

"It's okay, I should wake up too." Dai Li sat up, rubbed his eyes, and asked, "You're calling me at this time, is there something wrong with the training center?"

"We have encountered some troubles. Yesterday, I received a resignation letter from Jones. I didn't take it seriously at the time, but today, I received four more resignation letters. That is to say, the two Within days, we had five coaches leave, and they were all full-time coaches." Blake spoke the names of the other four.

Dai Li suddenly came to his senses. At present, Dai Li's training center has 30 full-time coaches in each branch. Five of them left at once, which is equivalent to one-sixth of the staff missing.

Dai Li immediately entered the system, and the names of these people were indeed missing from the team pyramid, and the titles that Dai Li had given them before were all empty. This shows that they are no longer in Dai Li's team, so they cannot continue to occupy a place in the team pyramid.

On the other side of the phone, Blake went on to say: "I think this is someone's premeditated poaching, so I went to inquire. If it is true, those who resigned have all gone to the Iron Man Fitness Training Center."

"Iron Man? Their boss seems to be named Max?" Dai Li asked.

"Yes, this must be done by Max. He offered a higher salary and poached the coach from us. I'm afraid that besides these five people, other people will submit their resignations tomorrow. Now the manpower It’s already reduced by one-sixth, and if four or five more people submit their resignation letters, our normal operations will be affected.” Blake said.

"We still have some part-time jobs, we can let them take over first, and you need to recruit some new people immediately." Dai Li said.

"I will do what you said, but more importantly, I am worried that this situation will affect other people. People are blindly obedient. In just two days, five people left the job. Others may follow suit and choose to leave, and even those who stay will affect their work due to personnel turmoil, and the morale of employees will be affected." Blake continued.

Dai Li nodded: "That's a problem, how about it, I'll book a ticket right away, and I'll go back tomorrow."

"That couldn't be better." Blake breathed a sigh of relief: "With you as the boss coming back to sit in charge, I think it should be able to appease the emotions of the employees and stabilize the overall situation!"

...

When Dai Li arrived in the United States, what Blake was worried about really happened.

On the way back to the training center, while driving, Blake introduced: "We now have eight coaches who have chosen to resign, and there are five others who clearly expressed their hope for a raise."

"That is to say, is there a total of thirteen people? This is almost half of my manpower. Can the Iron Man Training Center be able to accommodate so many people at once?" Dai Li didn't seem to be in a hurry.

Hiring people in the United States is already very expensive, not to mention coaching, which requires certain skills and experience. Hiring 13 people at once, the monthly salary paid to the employees, and the social security and medical insurance purchased for the employees add up to a lot. A lot of money, ordinary physical training centers can't afford it.

"It's not just the Ironman Training Center. As far as I know, other training centers have also begun to contact our coaches, and they also want to poach people from us." Blake said.

"Our coach is really in demand!" Dai Li laughed instead.

"The training effect in our center is good, and word of mouth has spread. Naturally, more people are thinking about our coaches here, and they are all thinking about robbing them." Blake's tone revealed a sense of helplessness.

Dai Li still didn't panic, he asked, "What are you going to do with those five people who asked for a raise?"

"We'll wait for a while. I'm going to discuss it with you before making a decision." Blake subconsciously glanced at the rearview mirror inside the car. Knowing that he and Dai Li were the only ones in the car, he checked the seat in the back seat. The situation, and then he said: "I don't advocate giving them a salary increase. If a salary increase is given to one person, then others will definitely want a salary increase, and if this time it is so easy to satisfy If you leave them, then next time, they may soon intensify their demands for a higher salary."

Blake slowed down the car, and then said: "But if they don't give them a raise, they will also resign. We are not enough manpower now. If five more coaches leave, our daily business will be a little troublesome." They also have a lot of work experience. If they are replaced by newly recruited newcomers, they will definitely not be able to replace them immediately to complete the business at hand. What's more, their work here is also a process of receiving training. The training we have paid Resources are also a kind of cost, if we replace them with new people, we will have to spend new costs to train them."

Dai Li rubbed his temples. This is indeed a problem faced by many operators.

An employee has grown from a rookie who knows nothing in his own company to a "business elite". At this time, the employee proposes to change jobs. The boss will definitely feel that he has lost a lot. The boss will feel that the employee treats himself as a It's Novice Village, and the wretched and well-developed ran to other places to wander. I didn't get much, but I spent a lot of time and resources.

It is also because of this situation that more and more bosses are unwilling to spend too much resources on employee training. They are worried that they will not be able to retain new employees after training them to become "business elites", and spend time and resources to train employees. On the contrary, it is not as cost-effective as directly digging ready-made talents.

For example, in the United States, in the 1960s and 1970s, companies at that time paid great attention to employee training, and the corporate culture of that era also encouraged employees to carry out various on-the-job learning and off-job training. The continuous learning of employees will inevitably strengthen their business level while improving themselves, and it will also create more profit returns for the company. Class families have ignited the so-called American dreams.

But until now, many American companies have given up this corporate culture that emphasizes employee training, and this has gradually affected the whole world. It is more cost-effective to dig out ready-made talents than to cultivate talents by themselves, so the headhunting industry chain has begun. The world's major economies are booming, except for Japan, because Japanese companies implement a lifetime employment system, people who come here have to work for a lifetime, there is no need to change jobs, and there is no need for headhunting.

Bosses want to pick up ready-made talents, but some industries must train employees, such as medicine. Doctors are a hard-working profession that needs to learn while working, work while studying, and work for a lifetime while studying for a lifetime. Domestic hospitals above Grade II must have and must have a department responsible for staff training. If not, it will not pass the hospital grade review by the Ministry of Health.

It is precisely for this reason that the media has been talking about it for more than ten years, and the policy has encouraged doctors to have more careers for seven or eight years, but there is no way to implement it.

Those small hospitals with poor technology and low level naturally welcome doctors to practice more. Their medical technology level is at the weak level. If you can mix with a deputy chief physician, you can become the king and dominate the place. Of course, you hope to practice more. A few powerful experts at the level of medical professors have generated income for the hospital.

From the standpoint of a large hospital, for a new medical graduate, the hospital will spend resources on standardized training for resident physicians. You accumulate experience, and at the same time you have to bear the consequences of your medical accidents, and you have to provide funds for scientific research. It took more than ten or twenty years and a lot of manpower and material resources to finally turn a fledgling rookie into a professional. Expert, but at this time you said that you want to go out to practice more, and you will work here for one day a week, and the remaining six days will be used to make money for other hospitals. If the dean agrees, you will really see the psychiatric department.

From a certain point of view, coaches and doctors are very similar. They are both technical professions. Both can rely on the accumulation of experience to bring more accurate judgments. At the same time, they both need to constantly learn new professional theories and knowledge.

Coaches have to train athletes, while doctors have to heal patients. Human individual differences are reflected in physical training and disease treatment. For coaches, wrong training programs will have counterproductive effects and even cause athletes to be injured. For doctors, wrong treatment methods cannot cure diseases, and even medical accidents may occur; in medicine, new drugs and new diagnosis and treatment equipment will continue to appear, and more and more diseases can be cured. In terms of sports training, New training methods and new training equipment are constantly appearing, and human beings are constantly setting new limits.

"It's distressing!" Dai Li couldn't help sighing when he thought of the similarities between coaches and doctors. If it is placed in the country, whether it is the coach of the training team or the doctor in the hospital, there is a "staff" that is bound by it, just like the multi-point practice of a doctor. As long as the doctor's "staff" is still in the hospital, The hospital can let the doctors stay honestly and not participate in any multi-point practice.

In the United States, however, there is apparently no such thing as "programming". The coach in the training center wanted to change jobs. Dai Li really couldn't help it without violating the contract he signed at the beginning.

"Go back and find a lawyer to see if you can add a liquidated damages clause to the new employment contract. If you change jobs before the contract expires, pay me the liquidated damages first!" Dai Li hummed a little dissatisfied. with.

"I also have this plan. I will contact the law firm in the afternoon." Blake then asked, "But what about the five people who are asking for a raise now?"

"Of course I don't agree!" Dai Li shook his head in dissatisfaction, showing the face of a capitalist exploiter: "I don't give you a penny more, you can't open this hole, and you must not get used to their problems! If you make trouble every day If we raise wages, wouldn’t we be in a loss-making business.”
