Executive Summary

Kaelan entered our ecosystem with a high-value skill set—strength coaching for wrestlers—but zero digital infrastructure or predictable client acquisition. By implementing our multi-stage funnel protocol, we transitioned Kaelan from an offline presence to a high-ticket online consultancy generating $15,000 per month in just 8 weeks.

The Acquisition Infrastructure

We implemented a five-stage method designed for maximum nurturing and high-ticket conversion. Here is the exact flow we used to scale Kaelan's business.

📢
Stage 01

Handraiser Ads

Indirect advertising pushing niche pain points to a 30km radius in Boca Raton.

👤
Stage 02

Follow Ads

Retargeting high-engagers with profile visit content to build a long-term audience.

💬
Stage 03

Direct Outreach

Conversational DMs focusing on specific issues identified in Stage 01/02.

🎥
Stage 04

YouTube Bridge

Sending authority-building training videos tailored to their specific problem.

💰
Stage 05

Strategy Call

High-ticket close resulting in $15,000/mo MRR from a cold start.

Phase 1: Indirect Handraiser Advertising

Instead of direct "Buy My Coaching" ads which face high friction, we launched Indirect Handraiser Ads. These ads were designed to push a niche issue to a broad but geo-targeted audience (within 30km of Boca Raton).

Phase 2: The Social Nurture Loop

Once we identified the ICP, we hit them with Profile Visit Ads. These videos provided value and ended with a clear "Follow for more wrestling strength tips" CTA. This converted expensive ad traffic into long-term followers.

03

Direct Outreach (DMs)

Kaelan initiated conversations with new followers, focusing on the specific issues they highlighted from previous organic content engagement.

04

The YouTube Bridge

Instead of jumping to a call, we sent one of three curated YouTube videos that solved their specific problem. This built massive authority before a pitch was ever made.

05

Strategy Call & Close

By the time they booked a call, the prospect had seen the ad, followed Kaelan, and watched his YouTube training. This resulted in an incredibly high close rate, reaching $15,000/mo MRR starting from zero.
