A user must have a member since date and a member expire date in order to appear as a member in ClubReady. If the user is on Auto Renew/Evergreen draft then the expire date in ClubReady will continue to update as the customer makes their scheduled payments. Any user with a blank since or expire date will be uploaded as a prospect. 

NOTE: This template must be used and you cannot alter the columns in any way. From here you would simply copy and paste (or manually enter the data if you do not have in a data base you can extract data from).

Once you have populated all of the data please make sure to use the File, Save As option in Excel to save this as a .csv file.  Please also note the location you saved this file to as you will need to browse to this in the next step.


3. Uploading Your File To ClubReady





Click the Choose File button and then navigate and select where you saved your .csv file. Select the Upload CSV File button to start your upload. 

NOTE: If the file was not saved to a csv format or does not contain data you will get an error message in red.  Based on the error you receive make the appropriate changes and then repeat the steps.


Setting Options For Each Client






You will then have the options to choose the customer status, how long you would like the prospects log in to ClubReady to be active, you will have the opportunity to send them a welcome letter and assign a free credit or fitness consultation.  Additionally, you can have ClubReady send you a file to confirm the upload details.

NOTE:  Before you complete, be aware this cannot be undone.  Please double check the settings you selected to make sure everything is exactly what you want.  Any corrections after this will have to be done manually by you and your staff.

Click the Do Bulk Add button to finish the prospect bulk upload.
