Once again, the Groupon deal is not permanent. An established business uses it to build it's customer base, find new customers, reduce old inventory, and gain new word of mouth referrals. A new or newer CHL instructor has no customer base to start with, and may use Groupon to establish a base from which referrals will come. Referrals will come based on how good the class is, not the discount price.

I don't think that's true at all. Business get their best advertising by word of mouth. The more satisfied customers you have spreading the word, the more business you will get. Discounts bring customers. I know they get my attention for things I want to purchase. Every smart business offers a discount at times, except those whose owners/management think that their product is so superior that offering a discount would "cheapen" it. That's a poor way of doing business.
