Why are parents not allowed to sit in the lounge or wander School of Rock beyond the front desk?

The lounge is for the kids! It provides them with a space to hang out, jam, and be kids! 

Unlike our staff, parents are not background checked and they are not allowed to be alone with kids that aren't theirs

A parent calls to cancel their students' lesson an hour before the lesson begins. They tell you that they'd like to schedule a make-up for the following day instead. How do you respond?

Tell the parent our cancellation policy and apologize for the inconvenience. Tell the parent we will see them next week :)

What is our cancellation policy?

We have a 24 hour cancellation policy. This means that a parent can cancel their students' lesson up to 24 hours before it's scheduled. If they cancel BEFORE that time period, we can add a make-up session to their account to be used at another time. If they cancel AFTER that time, we are unable to provide them with a make-up session.

True or false: When a parent asks for pricing on the phone, you should give it to them

Don't lead with price. Explain to the parent the VALUE of our programs - we are a performance based music program and we specialize in putting students in bands and booking them gigs at real venues. Students are entitled to a weekly band rehearsal and a weekly lesson. When you break down the cost, you get MORE music instruction at a CHEAPER cost per hour

Try or false, you schedule a Rookies trial by enrolling them in the class?

False. You have to schedule the trial lesson on the front facing schedule, like a 1:1 trial lesson. You can schedule it for the same time and day as a Rookies class with the regular instructor.

Mike is working from home today and Lauren is teaching Rookies. You notice that Gabe is running five minutes behind for his next lesson. You check the cameras and you see that he is still with a student and they seem to be in the middle of a song. Gabe’s next student is waiting for him in the lobby. How do you handle this situation?

Knock on Gabe's door to let him know his next student is here (or some variation of this answer)

You're trying to sell Rock 101 to a perspective parent and they tell you that their student is shy and likely won't want to participate. How do you sell Rock 101 and encourage that student to join?

There is NO experience needed to join Rock 101. This is a great entry point for a student that has some interest in performing but not feeling ready yet with their skill level. 

Social outlet, you can compare lessons without Rock 101 to soccer practice without any games

Provide song examples

You're about to get up to give a tour when the phone rings. One of our staff members is sitting in the third chair at the desk and offers to grab the phone for you. Is this ok?

In most situations, no. If our staff have not been trained to answer the phone, use Pike, or pitch our programs, they should not be answering the phone. Let the phone ring and you can check the dialpad app on the tablet to see who called. You can call that person back (and they will likely call again). 

In addition to the two of you, Sydney, Pete, Jake, Lauren, Mike, Chris, and Gabe can answer the phone. They have been trained for FOH work.

It's summer! Adam Danielson is taking his family to the Cape for one week. He asks if you can prorate his bill so that the girls do have to schedule make up lessons. How should you handle this?

Don't do that. Tell Adam too bad!

We only prorate bills if a family is traveling for three or more consecutive weeks. If they're away for a long period of time, they will not receive make-ups if their bill is prorated. If they take a break for the summer, we cannot hold their lesson slot for when they come back in the fall

Pitch the Little Wings program. Include all information for a parent that has way too many questions.

Little Wings is a group class for students between the ages of 3 and 5. This class is only for the students and the instructor - we have a waiting area for parents outside of the classroom. During the forty-five minute weekly class, students learn about foundational music skills like pitch, rhythm, and dynamics. Each class, our Little Wings students have the opportunities to explore each instrument we offer at School of Rock including the drums, guitar, bass, keyboard, and vocals through a series of games and group activities!

An enrolled client calls on February 2nd and says they'd like to cancel their plan. They say they would like a refund since their card was charged automatically yesterday. What do you do?
