It may sound hard to believe, but one of our client’s booked 40 discovery calls in only 5 days resulting in 6 brand new one-on-one clients.
Here’s what’s so interesting about Mona’s story, a little over a year ago she didn’t feel confident in her coaching abilities or her business model and she definitely had a huge case of imposter syndrome.
Over the last year she’s experimented and tested different client attraction strategies and built in automated processes into her business. Her constant willingness to try things outside her comfort zone resulted in clients starting to invest in her programs.
As Mona’s confidence increased, so did her number of clients.

Where Her Success Started
Once Mona decided on discovery calls as her main method of converting potential clients into paying customers for her one-on-one coaching program she knew she needed to get good at the process.
There is an art and a science for doing discovery calls. In a nutshell, it’s your opportunity to decide if they are a good client fit for your program and if you are the right coach for the problem they are trying to solve. (Download my 7 Step Sales Conversation Worksheet HERE)
The key is to not let the ‘discovery call’ turn into a ‘coaching call’. Instead it’s an opportunity to connect with your potential client and help them visualize what’s possible for them once they decide to work with you.
Mona’s Facebook Ads
The catalyst for booking so many discovery calls in such a short period of time was a paid Facebook ad. You may think that you need to be a Facebook ads expert to get the same kind of results as Mona but nothing could be further from the truth. Mona’s ad strategy is really very simple.
She recorded 2 – one-minute videos that invited her ideal clients to book a discovery call session with her. She focused her message on mindset and changing beliefs.
Then she created a campaign in the ads manager with a total budget of $200 over a 5-day period.
Next, she targeted only her ideal clients, (which is a key component to her ad being so successful).
The text part of the ad consisted of a written version of what she said in her video and then directed people to her online calendar link.
BONUS TIP: Her appointment request form included a spot for the person to enter their phone number. This was an incredibly important piece of the puzzle because Mona text each person a reminder notification before their call which significantly increased her show-up rate.
