Learn how you can leverage data and analytics to showcase the value of your business offerings to your clients. Parents spend thousands of dollars on youth sports and fitness every year. But, how can they objectively tell their athletes are getting any better? We operate in an industry where there is no clear-cut way to evaluate athletes or define success. Yet, results are what athletes expect from training programs. Results keep clients coming back.
Learn how Upper Hand views competition, and how we are leveraging data to help our customers make smarter business decisions. At Upper Hand, we’ve talked a lot about how digital fitness and technology has challenged the businesses we serve. But, when it comes to running a studio, gym, or academy, AI is also beginning to take on a larger role within business operations.

The more you know about your customers, competitors, and industry, the more confident you can be in making decisions that lead to growth. From identifying changes in the market to developing a long-term business strategy, here are three ways you can use data today to drive innovation at your business.
