LinkedIn B2B Lead Generation for Corporate Wellness Programs

While you're fighting for individual $100/month memberships, smart fitness franchises are quietly closing $10,000-50,000 corporate wellness contracts on LinkedIn. One corporate client can equal 100-500 individual members—with 90% less churn.

The corporate wellness market is exploding: **$13.6 billion in 2023, growing to $27.8 billion by 2028**. Companies are desperate for wellness solutions that actually work. And LinkedIn is where they're looking for partners.

After helping fitness franchises land 200+ corporate contracts worth $5M+ through LinkedIn, I'm sharing the exact playbook that transforms franchise owners into B2B wellness providers.

Why Corporate Wellness Changes Everything

The Individual Member Trap

• •Average member value: $100/month
• •Churn rate: 15% monthly
• •Acquisition cost: $50-150
• •Decision maker: Individual
• •Payment issues: Common

The Corporate Contract Advantage

• •Average contract value: $20,000/year
• •Churn rate: <5% annually
• •Acquisition cost: $500-1,000
• •Decision maker: HR/Benefits team
• •Payment issues: Rare

One corporate client with 200 employees = $30,000+ annually with virtually zero churn.

The LinkedIn B2B Framework for Fitness Franchises

Layer 1: Executive Profile Optimization

Your LinkedIn profile is your digital business card. 67% of B2B buyers check LinkedIn before making decisions.
