Assessment Funnel Deep Dive: Converting Your Coaching Leads Into High-Ticket Clients
Whether you're a new coach looking to build your business or an experienced coach wanting to increase your revenue, the assessment funnelis a perfect way to acquire high-paying coaching clients.
In this week's video, CoachNow Founder Spencer Dennis dives deep into the tactic, giving you all the info you need to take action and try it for yourself.
The first step in the assessment funnel is to leverage your social media presence. Through your content, encourage your audience to take action by sending you a direct message (DM). A simple and generic call to action like "DM me for help" can work wonders. Your goal is to engage with them and initiate the process.
Step 2: Capture Emails on a Landing Page
Once prospects DM you, redirect them to a landing page where you can collect their email addresses. This step may require offering something valuable for free, or if your content is compelling enough, they may willingly provide their email right away. The objective is to build your email list for further engagement.
Step 3: Conduct the Assessment
The core of the assessment funnel lies in the actual assessment process. While lower-ticket quizzes have their place, the focus here is on getting prospects on a discovery call or inviting them directly to a platform like CoachNow for a comprehensive audit. This assessment can be tailored to various fields such as analyzing technical movements in sports, assessing dietary habits, or evaluating business strategies. By conducting a thorough assessment, you determine if there's a fit between your services and the prospect's needs.
Step 4: Make an Offer for Long-Term Coaching
Assuming the prospect is satisfied with the assessment, it's time to make them an offer for a long-term coaching program. This can be done during a follow-up call or immediately within the CoachNow platform. The goal is to present a compelling coaching plan that adds value and addresses their specific needs. By establishing a clear price for the assessment ahead of time, you provide a frame of reference and make the subsequent coaching offer appear even more appealing.
Step 5: Conversion and Revenue
At the bottom of the funnel, the ideal outcome is for the prospect to become a high-ticket customer who enrolls in your coaching program. By following this process repeatedly, your coaching business can thrive.
The High-Touch Assessment Funnel:
In the assessment funnel, there are two variations: high-touch and fully remote coaching. Regardless of the format, it's recommended to offer the assessment for free if prospects convert into a coaching program. This immediate value demonstrates your commitment and expertise while also anchoring the offer price. Establishing a fee for the assessment itself ensures that you're compensated for your time and expertise, whether or not the prospect proceeds with the coaching program.
