Coaching business lifts close rate from 18% to 32%
The Challenge
The founder was booking 15-20 sales calls per week but closing only 18% of them. Calls felt inconsistent, objections were handled reactively, and follow-up was sporadic.
What We Found
- No structured call framework
- Objections caught the founder off-guard
- Follow-up lacked urgency and sequence
- No visibility into pipeline health
Actions Taken
- Built a structured call framework with clear phases
- Created an objection handling bank for the top 10 objections
- Implemented a 7-day follow-up sequence with urgency drivers
- Set up weekly KPI tracking and call review rhythm
Commercial Impact
Same number of calls, nearly double the clients. The founder estimated an extra £40K in revenue over the following quarter from the improved close rate alone.
