Where your leads start the conversation
Most career coaches get buyers from three places. Each one deserves its own first question.
A keyword on a resume Reel
They comment “RESUME” on a bullet-point Reel. After the template, the setter asks about their current role.
A reply to a layoffs Story
Someone replies to your layoffs Story. Acknowledge it, then ask what role they want next.
An interview checklist on WhatsApp
Your bio link opens WhatsApp for an interview checklist. Ask when their next interview is.
Chapter 02Qualify
Ask these before the call
A setter books calls only for people who pass your fit rule. These questions make the rule, one per message.

Not a fit when
Wants you to find them a job or apply for them: that’s recruiting, not coaching. Is a student after a first internship, unless that’s your audience. Only wants a quick resume edit: point them to your one-off service if you have one.
Promise the work, not the job
Tell the setter never to promise an offer, a title or a salary. It describes what the program covers; hiring decisions belong to employers.

The DM script, ready to copy
Opener after the template
Right after your flow sends the resume template.
Here’s the resume template! So I can point you to the right section: what’s your current role, and what are you hoping to move into?
- Next
- Wait for both roles.
- Why it works
- The gap between roles shows what kind of help they need.
Timeline and blockers
After they share the move they want.
That’s a solid move. How soon do you need it to happen, and what’s stood between you and Replace [result] so far?
- Next
- Note any deadline: a layoff date, a pending offer, a contract end.
- Why it works
- A real deadline is the best timing signal.
Fit and commitment
When there’s a clear target and a reason to move.
That’s who my Replace [offer] is for: Replace [ideal client]. It takes a few hours a week. Does that feel doable over the next two months?
- Next
- Yes: book. No time: offer a later start date.
- Why it works
- Commitment matters more than enthusiasm in career coaching.
Book the consultation
After they confirm the hours.
Let’s plan your next step on a 30-minute consultation. Would Replace [day] at Replace [time] or Replace [day] at Replace [time] be easier around work?
- Next
- Booked in the chat when your calendar is connected.
- Why it works
- “Around work” shows you get their schedule.
Morning follow-up
If they don’t answer by the next morning.
Morning Replace [first name]! Still thinking about the switch? I can send what Replace [offer] covers week by week, plus the Replace [price] options, if that helps you decide.
- Next
- Two nudges in total, then leave it.
- Why it works
- Concrete details help someone weighing a job decision.
