What Is the Gold Membership at Little Boomers Basketball and How Does It Work? | Live Q&A | EP 90

In this video, I host a live Q&A session with franchise owners across the Little Boomers Basketball network. We cover what happens when a parent on a quarterly subscription wants to upgrade to Gold mid-term — why they pay the three remaining terms (not a fresh four), how they still get the 16% discount, and why cancelling their membership to start fresh is not the right move. We also cover Allstar Day team structure, why junior comp kids are mixed in with the Mighty Boomers, and an important note on jersey numbers if your team goes above eight players. Additionally, we also cover what to do when a parent with two kids enrolled without the sibling discount — why the locked-in base rate can't be changed in RMS, and what your options are. We wrap up with a reminder about keeping RMS as simple as possible — fewer rules, fewer coupon codes, fewer variations — and why the KISS method is the smartest approach for managing your booking system.

The 4.75% Wage Increase Just Landed — Here's What It Means for Your Business | Live Q&A | EP 87

In this video, I host a live Q&A session with franchise owners across the Little Boomers Basketball network. One franchisee lands her first Gold VIP membership, and we explain how to account for that revenue on your P&L. We also cover handling a parent who wants a single casual class instead of a full term, why makeup classes don't roll over, "hide membership" vs. cancelling an enrolment, and a tricky RMS booking issue where the site shows spots available but says "zero left." Additionally, we also cover invoicing vacation care deposits, daycare free trial follow-up timing, the 4.75% minimum wage increase, and billing issues that come up when transferring members between programs at different price points. These sessions allow the network to stay aligned, address real operational concerns, and ensure each franchisee is confident running their business day to day. It's a behind-the-scenes look at how franchise owners manage enrollments, accounts, and day-to-day operations. If you're a current or aspiring franchise owner, this session provides practical insights on running a smooth, profitable franchise.

How the New Merchant Fee Law Is Changing What We Charge | Live Q&A | EP 86

In this live Q&A, franchisees across the Little Boomers Basketball network get answers on what's changing from October 1 — including why merchant fees are being abolished and what that actually means for your bottom line. We break down the new pricing structure, why the term program has moved to $215 and $205, and how to think about merchant fees as a cost you now absorb rather than pass on. We also cover whether Stripe will lower their fees (spoiler: not guaranteed), and why the daycare pricing stayed the same. Beyond pricing, we get into the real stuff: franchisees share how they're rewarding high-achieving kids at the end of term with special award categories — and how one territory used it to get kids committing to re-enrol before the term even ended. We also tackle uniform feedback, training kit sizing mismatches, coach pants that split at the seams, and an important update to employment contracts now live on the Franchise Resource Centre. Plus: a mandatory cyber security workshop is coming and why, in the age of AI, it matters more than ever. Whether you're navigating pricing changes or looking for ways to keep your kids engaged and coming back, this session has something for every franchisee.
