Episode Description from the Publisher

Marilyn's about to hit $13K this month, but three clients dropped off after the onboarding call. Elliott's quitting his job in five weeks. Carter just signed his 10th client in a single day and hit $10K revenue. Janae 5x'd her income from last year. This episode is pure tactical coaching with zero fluff... coaches are signing clients, launching challenges, quitting their jobs, and figuring out exactly what's broken in their process so they can fix it fast. From Marilyn losing clients after onboarding because she's not handling agreements on the sales call, to Corey struggling to get keyword comments on his gay fitness content, to Elliott calculating exactly what to charge for in-person athlete sessions, to Carter crushing a $10K revenue day - this is what scaling to six figures actually looks like in real time. Plus, Brian announces the Content to Cash Challenge - a three-day masterclass breaking down how his account generated 45.4 million views in 30 days (94% organic, only 6% from ads). Here's what we break down: Why clients are dropping off after onboarding (and how to fix it immediately) The hourly rate formula for pricing in-person sessions How to get more keyword comments on your CTAs The split-screen format that's crushing on Instagram right now Kayla's four-day to six-week challenge conversion strategy Why 20% DM response rate is actually normal Carter's $480 birthday giveaway strategy for massive engagement ...and so much more. Top Quotes: "If you're noticing a drop off after the onboarding call because of the agreement, then I would just take care of it on the call when they're in the moment." - Brian (0:00) "Your current hourly rate is technically $106 an hour. You're going to spend four hours with the client, but you're also taking time away from other things. That would double the price." - Brian (10:00) "You need to figure out what is currently trending on Instagram right now, and then you need to attach the value that you have to provide with what is currently trending." - Brian (13:55) "Four day challenges typically will convert at a higher percentage than 14 day challenges. A little bit more intense, a little bit more work, but they convert at a higher percentage." - Brian (1:05:00) "I just want to remind you how far you've come. Last January you made $2K. This January you're at $9.5K. We 5x'd that bitch. Let's do that again." - Brian (1:08:42) CHAPTERS: 00:00 - Intro: Marilyn's $13K Month & Client Drop-Off Problem 04:49 - Kayla's Four-Day Challenge Launch & High Ticket First Strategy 07:16 - Elliott's $17K Month + Quitting His Job in 5 Weeks 10:00 - The Hourly Rate Formula for Pricing In-Person Sessions 12:56 - Corey's Gay Fitness Content Strategy & Getting More Comments 15:00 - Split-Screen Format Breakdown: What's Trending Right Now 17:36 - The Edits App Hook Analysis Framework 1:05:00 - Janae's 5x Income Growth & Four-Day Challenge Decision 1:08:42 - Carter's $10K Revenue Day & $480 Birthday Giveaway Strategy 1:11:15 - Couples Discount Pricing Strategy (20% Off) 1:13:34 - Content to Cash Challenge Announcement: 45.4M Views Breakdown -------- For more information on working with me fill out this application: http://bit.ly/BuildYourOnlineFitnessBiz ------ LET'S CONNECT: YouTube | @therealbrianmark Instagram | @therealbrianmark Facebook | Brian Mark
