Build a log or spreadsheet with the following headers:
• Member Name • Date of Suspension • Outreach Method (Call / Text ) • Dates of Contact Attempts • Notes & Initials (if multiple leaders are involved)
📝 Add newly suspended members to the log as soon as the reprocessing attempt fails. 🗓️ Pull this report daily to enable immediate follow-up and prevent backlog.
Weekly Suspends Process
Run Bulk Charge
Assign a leader to run the Suspended Bulk Charge every Friday or Saturday.
Perform Weekly Member Outreach
Begin outreach immediately after suspension. Use templates from the Membership Retention Guide
Ongoing Communications
Continue weekly calls and texts throughout the suspension period. Emphasize urgency: Let members know how many days remain before their membership is cancelled.
Final Step: Cancellation
If there is no response within 10 days after 90 days of outreach, initiate Immediate Cancellation.
Best Practices
• Pull the suspended report daily to stay ahead and minimize your call load
• Maintain a MASTER Suspended Tracker to log and monitor outreach efforts
• As you goal set member sales for the month, add in expected number of terminations into your Net Gain goal.
• Run Bulk Charges once per week to control credit card processing fees
• Use Zenoti’s “Always On” Campaigns for automated, professional email follow-up
• Avoid any buildup of suspends because this will have an impact on your Net Gain and Active Member count once addressed
