Where your leads start the conversation
Most financial coaches get buyers from three places. Each one deserves its own first question.
A keyword on a budgeting Reel
They comment “BUDGET” on a zero-based budget Reel. After the spreadsheet, the setter asks their money goal.
A reply to a debt Story
Someone replies “I need this” to a debt payoff Story. Answer without judgment, then ask one question.
A WhatsApp challenge sign-up
People join your no-spend challenge by texting “JOIN” on WhatsApp. The setter asks what they’re saving for.
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 investment picks, tax filing help or legal advice: refer them to a licensed professional. Faces an urgent crisis like eviction or collections: hand the chat to you. Expects coaching to raise their income by a set amount.
Coaching only, never financial advice
The setter talks budgets and habits from your offer details. Investment, tax or legal questions get a referral to a licensed pro, and income is never promised.

The DM script, ready to copy
Opener after the spreadsheet
Right after your flow sends the budget spreadsheet.
Your budget spreadsheet is ready above! Before you fill it in: what’s the money goal that matters most to you this year?
- Next
- Wait for one goal, in their words.
- Why it works
- A goal makes the spreadsheet, and the chat, about them.
What they tried
Once they’ve named a money goal.
That’s a solid goal. What have you tried so far to get to Replace [result], and what made it hard to keep going?
- Next
- Listen for a habit or accountability gap.
- Why it works
- A habits gap is what you coach, not a missing app.
Fit and scope
When the gap is one you coach.
Makes sense. My Replace [offer] helps Replace [ideal client] build the habits, not pick investments. Does weekly coaching like that sound like what you’re after?
- Next
- Investment or tax questions: refer out. A yes: offer times.
- Why it works
- It sets the scope before the call, so no one books for advice.
Book the money call
After they confirm it’s coaching they want.
Let’s look at your numbers together on a quick call. Does Replace [day] at Replace [time] or Replace [day] at Replace [time] fit better?
- Next
- The setter books the slot in the chat through your connected calendar.
- Why it works
- A choice of two times is a small, easy yes.
Follow up kindly
If they go quiet after hearing the times.
Hi Replace [first name], money talk can feel heavy, so no rush. Want me to send how Replace [offer] works and the Replace [price] options first?
- Next
- One more nudge at most.
- Why it works
- Naming the discomfort makes it lighter.

| I’ll just use a budgeting app.Reply with: Agree apps help. Ask how long the last one lasted. Coaching is for the part apps can’t do: sticking with it. | Agree apps help. Ask how long the last one lasted. Coaching is for the part apps can’t do: sticking with it. |
| Will this help me make more money?Reply with: Don’t promise income. Explain that coaching works on spending, saving and debt habits with the money they have. | Don’t promise income. Explain that coaching works on spending, saving and debt habits with the money they have. |
