Where your leads start the conversation
Most life coaches get buyers from three places. Each one deserves its own first question.
A keyword on a mindset Reel
They comment “CLARITY” under a Reel on feeling stuck. After the workbook, the setter asks what they’d change.
A “this is me” Story reply
Someone replies “this is me” to a Story. Thank them, then ask one gentle question about their situation.
A masterclass ad on Facebook
Your masterclass ad opens a Messenger chat. Confirm the seat, then ask what made them sign up.
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
Describes a mental health crisis: the chat goes to you right away. Wants advice in the DMs but no coaching: your free content serves them better. Says “maybe next year”: set a dated follow-up, not a call.
Coaching, not therapy
If someone mentions a crisis or symptoms a therapist should handle, the setter hands the chat to you at once. It never promises income or life outcomes.

Opener after the workbook
Right after your flow delivers the clarity workbook.
Your clarity workbook is here! Before you dive in: what’s the one area of your life you’d most like to feel different about?
- Next
- Let them pick the area themselves.
- Why it works
- Naming one area turns a vague feeling into a topic.
Why now
After they name the area.
Thank you for sharing that. What’s making it feel important right now, rather than a year ago?
- Next
- Listen for a trigger: a milestone, a move, a decision to make.
- Why it works
- A real trigger is the strongest sign they’ll act.
Fit and readiness
When there’s a clear reason to act now.
That makes sense. I work with Replace [ideal client] on Replace [result] through my Replace [offer]. Does starting something like that in the next few weeks feel right?
- Next
- Yes: offer times. Unsure: ask what would hold them back.
- Why it works
- It checks readiness before a price or a pitch.
Book the clarity call
As soon as they say it feels right.
Let’s talk it through on a 30-minute clarity call. Would Replace [day] at Replace [time] or Replace [day] at Replace [time] suit you better?
- Next
- Your connected calendar lets the setter book it inside the chat.
- Why it works
- Two concrete slots lower the effort of saying yes.
A gentle nudge
If they go quiet after seeing the times.
Hi Replace [first name], no pressure at all. If a call feels like a big step, I can send a short overview of Replace [offer] and the Replace [price] options first.
- Next
- Send one more nudge at most, then let it rest.
- Why it works
- A smaller step keeps the door open.

| Isn’t this just therapy?Reply with: Say coaching looks forward, at goals and actions. If what they describe needs a therapist, pass the chat to you. | Say coaching looks forward, at goals and actions. If what they describe needs a therapist, pass the chat to you. |
| I should be able to figure this out myself.Reply with: Agree they could, then ask how long they’ve been trying. Coaching shortens the guessing, it doesn’t replace their effort. | Agree they could, then ask how long they’ve been trying. Coaching shortens the guessing, it doesn’t replace their effort. |
