AI automates thank-you messages, reducing staff workload and improving efficiency.

1. Issue: The Effort of Writing Thank You Notes for Visitors

A membership-based gym chain with 30 locations across Japan offers a successful free trial program that significantly contributes to new member acquisition. While member management is centralized, each branch handles free trial registration and management independently.

The Kyoto branch has implemented a unique workflow system that includes a web form for trial sign-ups and automated booking confirmation emails. After a free trial, reception staff ask visitors about their interest in joining. However, many attendees don’t commit on the spot and prefer to decide later. This makes sending a prompt thank you email crucial to keep their interest high.

It’s been observed that sending a personalized thank you email, including a message from the assigned trainer, on the same day as the trial has significantly improved visitor impression and led to an average 5% increase in membership conversion rates. The thank you email sending function is also integrated into the workflow system.

Despite its proven effectiveness, the current process of trainers individually crafting these thank you messages is time-consuming and labor-intensive, leading to increased overtime hours. Furthermore, this task presents a significant psychological burden for trainers who struggle with writing. Therefore, efficiency is urgently needed to maintain the positive impact on conversion rates without overworking staff.

2. Solution: Automating Thank You Message Generation with AI

The process owner will revamp the workflow to enable automatic thank you message generation using AI (ChatGPT).

Based on these inputs, the AI will automatically generate the thank you message. This change eliminates the need for trainers to compose messages themselves.

Automating thank-you messages reduces workload and stress for trainers, improving productivity and overall business efficiency.
