Phil: Phil Britten.

What have we got?

Phil: Well as I say, change is as good as a holiday, and for our level what we've done, you know we, as you all probably know, is we have three rather large locations. One is, obviously quite big, with 802 members, and that school there has two managers running it because it's almost like two schools within one to some...

Phil: We are here, live, as always, week in and week out giving you great business advice. So Graham, what are we talking about today?

Graham: Well, it's actually a pretty timely one. So this one is all about the end-of-financial-year sales. And for here in Australia, and for those guys who are watching and listening to us globally, in Australia there tends to be a lot of different big companies that really get on the bandwagon when it comes to end of financial year.

Graham: Welcome everyone to the Martial Arts Business Success Podcast, about 87.
