In this episode of ROI Masterclass, Michele Malo breaks down how she transformed a struggling country club into a thriving, revenue-generating community hub, not through guesswork, but through strategy.

Key takeaways:

• Data must drive every decision, not personal preference

• Renovations should follow demand, not assumptions

• Community + experience = higher retention and referrals

• Simplifying offers increases conversions

• Phased rollouts create momentum and continuous engagement

The results speak for themselves:

→ Event attendance up 30%

→ Membership sales hitting record highs
