is there any way that we can charge the students for demo? When we give them demo for free.. they sometimes do not attend the same and sometimes just attend it for a pass time.

Yes you should charge for Demo. I charge for the demo to make sure parent is serious. What you can do is charge for half the amount of your usual hourly rate. Or keep a fix charge of Demo. So that your time is not wasted.

Well, if you ask the students directly for the money they may end up not signing up for your demo session but if you can play with your words a little you might be able to charge them.

Well, if you ask the students directly for the money they may end up not signing up for your demo session but if you can play with your words a little you might be able to charge them. I'll tell you exactly how I prefer to do it. Let's suppose you came across a student who is interested to join your classes and asks you for a demo session. Now here you can use some of your sales techniques , now you can tell them that :--> although the demo session is completely free but to filter out the students who really are looking to join , you'll be charging a certain amount of money as a security fee which will be completely squared off once he/she signs for the classes.... In that way you'll filter out the time pass students. That's how I do it. You can also write your script as well. Thank you read less

I suggest demo sessions must also be charged. Atleast a minimum of 100 Rs, to ensure the student or the participant takes it a bit serious and adds value to what tutor and the platform are working toward. Also, request UrbanPro to charge students a minimum of 50 Rs for every demo they attend.

Well, charing for Demo Session may stop you getting crowd. Sometimes it's better to provide free service and become famous among all and then you see one day you'll be having serious people in your arena who would not only take Free Demo but will attend your classes.

Hi, Greetings for the day ! Demos allows students and tutors to connect and helps students get firsthand experience of classes. This also helps the tutor to understand the student’s needs better. Here, I would like to point out that it is like understanding the lead and converting it into sale . So you need to analyse the faesibility and correcness while you also have to serve them in polite and natural . You confidence and your personality must do natural . Therefore, in order to encourage all tutors to attend the demo classes without any burden . This is a natural process that 5% people make it complex . But that never means to charge for demo . Let's see some other aspects to motivate students to attend demo . Bologger's Views Dhananjay Kumar Pandey read less

I think one way is to ask for a minimal amount so that a student knows its worth.
