Recently I was emailing a fellow martial arts school owner and they mentioned they use electronic funds transfer (EFT) in place of contracts.
And, it got me thinking…

I’m looking into martial arts billing companies (specifically EFT) for my martial arts school and want to know who to look at and who to avoid. Any suggestions?
I have been using Members Solutions for a few years now and I’m happy with them. My main reason for going with them was for billing. I didn’t want a billing company telling what and how to teach. Years ago while teaching for someone else we joined one of the consulting / billing companies and before you knew it we were teaching Bullshido Kenpo not Ed Parkers Kenpo. I would say watch out for the consulting groups that wants too much control.
Why are so many people not using a billing company?
After trying the billing companies above, I got nowhere very fast. It seems those companies are in it for the money, not customer satisfaction. For years now, I have been using Strategic Membership Systems, Inc/ SMSWinmars Corporation. Their customer support is supurb and their rates are very reasonable unlike others “claim.” They have everything a school owner needs to grow their school effectively. Their main goal is Billing & Marketing. Let me say, they do an amazing job, with both! Although, I must add they have services the others dont. After a contract becomes delinquent, SMS will go for the full amounts and will NOT pass a contract back to the school, unlike others. THAT shows that they care about my money!
Recently, they actually teamed up with Jackrabbit Dojo and now they have an all new exclusive partnership that was released early this year. Talk about a team!
If you are a struggling school owner, Id definitely refer you to SMS!!!
