Krista Wells runs Mercer Island Martial Arts &#8212; and she runs it like a business that understands the single most overlooked lever in our industry: pricing and renewals. When Krista first showed up at a millionaire-level mastermind meeting, her school was sitting in the $700,000s. She did not stay there. Through a disciplined renewal blitz, she crossed $1 million within three months, then finished a year at $1.2 million. Along the way she posted some of the most impressive single-month numbers I have ever seen from an independent school &#8212; including $250,000 in a single November. This is the story of how pricing and renewals, done right, turn a strong school into a genuine cash machine.<\/p>\n<div class=\"hero-photo\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/martialartswealth.com\/go\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Krista-Wells.png?resize=302%2C362&#038;quality=80&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Krista Wells \u2014 Mercer Island Martial Arts\"><figcaption>Krista Wells \u2014 Mercer Island Martial Arts<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"video-card\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\" id=\"_ytid_89069\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" data-origwidth=\"800\" data-origheight=\"450\" data-relstop=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LgQFjSpDcw4?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;modestbranding=1&#038;rel=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-is-override no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\" allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<section class=\"block\">\n<h2 class=\"section-h\">The Starting Point<\/h2>\n<p>Krista did not start as a struggling owner. She started as a strong one &#8212; which is exactly why her story is so instructive. When she crashed the millionaire group meeting, Mercer Island Martial Arts was already in the $700,000s. By most standards, that is a successful school. Plenty of owners would happily plateau there and call it a career.<\/p>\n<p>But a school in the $700,000s often has a hidden bottleneck: it is leaving enormous amounts of money on the table because it has never fully systematized pricing, student value, and renewals. A strong school with weak pricing discipline is like a high-performance engine running on the wrong fuel. The horsepower is there; it simply is not being converted into revenue. That was the starting point &#8212; a genuinely good school that had not yet unlocked the pricing and renewal mechanics that separate a $700,000 operation from a seven-figure one.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"block\">\n<h2 class=\"section-h\">The Diagnosis<\/h2>\n<p>The diagnosis at Mercer Island was not a lack of students or a lack of demand. It was a question of value capture. Too many schools treat tuition as a small monthly number and never build the programs, the long-term commitments, and the renewal events that reflect the true value a great school delivers over a student&#8217;s lifetime.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest single opportunity was the renewal blitz &#8212; a concentrated event in which existing students renew and upgrade their commitments, often into multi-year and leadership-track programs. A school in the $700,000s that has never run a serious renewal blitz is sitting on a reservoir of revenue it has never tapped. The same was true on the front end: relying on scattered marketing rather than a repeatable, high-conversion engine for generating and closing new prospects.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, there was the matter of student lifetime value. A school that prices and structures its programs correctly should be among the highest in student value in its peer group. The diagnosis was that Mercer Island had the quality and the community to command that kind of value &#8212; it simply needed the pricing, renewal, and lead-generation systems to capture it.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"block\">\n<h2 class=\"section-h\">The Systems We Installed<\/h2>\n<p>The first and most dramatic system was the renewal blitz. Krista ran a renewal blitz and crossed the $1 million mark within three months of sitting in the $700,000s. That is the power of properly structured renewals: the revenue is already inside your student base, waiting to be activated. And she did not do it once. In back-to-back Novembers, she ran renewal blitzes that produced $215,000 and then $230,000. As Krista put it herself: &#8220;That November I did $215,000, the following November I did $230,000.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"quote-card\">\n<p class=\"mark\">&#8220;<\/p>\n<p class=\"qtext\">That November I did $215,000, the following November I did $230,000.<\/p>\n<p class=\"attrib\">Krista Wells, Mercer Island Martial Arts<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<section class=\"block\">\n<p>The second system was a long-term leadership program. After ramping a leadership program over two years, Krista did $235,000 in a single month from roughly 15 paid-in-fulls. Read that again: about 15 students, paying in full into a premium long-term program, produced a quarter of a million dollars in one month. That is what happens when student lifetime value is structured correctly &#8212; and it is why Mercer Island carries one of the highest student values of all the schools we work with, in the range of $9,000 to $10,000 in lifetime value per student.<\/p>\n<p>The third system was a lead-generation engine built on live events. Krista generates most of her traffic from two to three live events almost every single weekend. This is not occasional marketing &#8212; it is a relentless, systematized front end. One big end-of-April event produced 104 leads, 75 appointments, and 20 first-class shows. Her Facebook lead cost runs roughly $48 to $75, which is highly efficient for the value of the students it produces.<\/p>\n<p>The fourth and final system is the one most owners underestimate: the personal close. Once Krista personally sits down with a prospect, her enrollment conversion is around 80%. As she said it plainly: &#8220;Once I actually talked to them, they were 80%.&#8221; The events and ads exist to get qualified prospects in front of her. Once they are there, a disciplined, value-driven enrollment conversation does the rest.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"block\">\n<h2 class=\"section-h\">The Results<\/h2>\n<p>The numbers at Mercer Island Martial Arts are extraordinary, and they are all documented. After starting in the $700,000s, Krista crossed $1 million within three months on the strength of a renewal blitz, then finished a year at $1.2 million. She did $250,000 in a single November. In back-to-back November renewal blitzes she posted $215,000 and then $230,000.<\/p>\n<p>After ramping her leadership program over two years, she did $235,000 in a single month from roughly 15 paid-in-fulls. She is consistently over $100,000 per month, and she has hit $160,000 in a single October. Her student value is among the highest of any school we work with, at roughly $9,000 to $10,000 in lifetime value per student.<\/p>\n<p>On the front end, the live-event engine delivers. Two to three live events almost every weekend keep the pipeline full, and a single big end-of-April event produced 104 leads, 75 appointments, and 20 first-class shows. Facebook leads come in at roughly $48 to $75 each, and once Krista personally sits down with a prospect, she closes around 80%. These figures are coach-reported.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"block\">\n<h2 class=\"section-h\">Lessons for Other School Owners<\/h2>\n<p>Krista&#8217;s results come down to a handful of transferable principles &#8212; and the central one is that pricing and renewals, not just enrollment, are where seven-figure schools are made.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"eval-list\">\n<li><strong>The renewal blitz is the fastest path to the next level.<\/strong> Krista went from the $700,000s to $1 million in three months on the back of a renewal blitz. The revenue was already inside her student base. If you have never run a serious renewal event, you are leaving your single biggest opportunity untouched.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Structure student value, then price for it.<\/strong> A $9,000 to $10,000 lifetime value per student does not happen by accident. It comes from building long-term and leadership programs that reflect the real value you deliver. About 15 paid-in-fulls produced $235,000 in one month because the value was structured correctly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Build a relentless front end.<\/strong> Two to three live events almost every weekend is not glamorous, but it is what keeps 104-lead months possible. Consistent, systematized lead generation beats sporadic bursts every time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Know your numbers at every stage.<\/strong> 104 leads, 75 appointments, 20 first-class shows, roughly 80% close once Krista sits down, and a $48 to $75 lead cost. When you know your funnel cold, you know exactly where to invest and where to improve.<\/li>\n<li><strong>You are the closer.<\/strong> The single highest-leverage skill in the building is the owner&#8217;s ability to sit down with a prospect and convert at 80%. No ad campaign can replace that.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you want to go deeper on the lever behind these results, study our pillar on Pricing &amp; Tuition. Mercer Island is what it looks like when an owner stops underpricing and starts capturing the full value of a great school.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"video-card\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uk7yAmYAft0\" title=\"YouTube video player\" allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<section class=\"block\">\n<h2 class=\"section-h\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<div class=\"schema-faq\">\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\">\n<h3>What is a renewal blitz, and why did it matter so much?<\/h3>\n<p>A renewal blitz is a concentrated event in which existing students renew and upgrade their commitments.
