More reasons to consider Spark Membership over Move with Pulse.
Spark CRM
Know every student.
Full student profiles, belt history, family accounts, and attendance trends, all in one place. Spark's CRM is purpose-built for martial arts schools, so it understands belt progressions and trial pipelines a generic CRM never will. Always know where a student stands, no digging, no guessing.
Spark Payments
Get paid without asking.
Spark Payments handles billing, checkout, and reporting automatically, so revenue keeps coming in without chasing checks, manual invoices, or a line at the front desk. Built directly into Spark Membership, it's one less thing standing between you and the mat. No spreadsheets, no awkward reminders.
Spark SMS
The instant reply, before they go cold.
Text messages get read in minutes, not hours. Spark's two-way SMS sends instant replies to new leads, class reminders, and reschedule texts the moment something happens, so prospects never look up a competitor. Parents can text your school directly; your team sees every reply.
