Case Study: Chosen Martial Arts Academy achieves major time savings and improved student retention with Zen Planner

Chosen Martial Arts Academy - Customer Case Study

Chosen Martial Arts Academy in Palmyra, PA, is a traditional martial arts school run by owner Lester Hicks that focuses on confidence, self-discipline and self-defense. Les struggled with a clunky, non-cloud software that couldn’t embed class calendars, batch invoices, automate communications, or handle test registrations, forcing him into time-consuming manual processes and causing prospects and students to fall through the cracks.

After switching to Zen Planner, Les used easy onboarding to migrate his data, embed schedules, automate monthly billing (saving over eight hours a month) and set up personalized email campaigns and automated test registrations. The result was better prospect follow-up, improved student engagement and retention, simpler administration, more reliable testing, and the freedom for Les to take time away from the business.
