People don’t buy “60-minute sessions.” They buy change. That’s why coaching case study marketing works so well: it shows the before → after your clients want—and makes the next step simple.
The problem: selling time invites haggling
Maya was a great coach, but her old page read like a menu of hours. Prospects compared prices, not outcomes. Sales calls turned into negotiations. Renewals lagged because clients didn’t see a clear arc from start to finish.
The shift: sell outcomes with story snapshots
Maya rebuilt her public hub on SphereCard around three short case stories. Each used the same, simple arc:
- Before: “Burned out manager. No mornings. Inbox chaos.”
- Bridge: “15-minute AM plan, one weekly deep work block, two boundary scripts.”
- After (30 days): “Two deep blocks/week. Inbox <30. Energy back by 3 p.m.”
Under the stories, her main button changed from “Book Session” to Start Your 30-Day Win. She grouped offers by outcome, not minutes: Focus Reset, Confidence Sprint, Career Clarity. Prices were fixed. Scope was clear. Haggling disappeared.
What changed
Leads arrived “pre-sold” by stories and screenshots (habits, calendars, quick wins). Discovery calls got shorter because people said, “I want that result.” Renewals improved too—clients could see progress against a 30-day promise, then choose to continue.
Make this work (step-by-step)
1) Pick three wins and script them
Write three 90-second stories in Before → Bridge → After format. Keep numbers small and human (e.g., “2 deep blocks/week,” “Inbox under 50,” “3 confident asks this month”).
2) Lead with an action promise
Your primary CTA becomes Start Your 30-Day Win (or Book Appointment/Book Order). Connect it to your daytime calendar to prevent double-booking. Offer two slots: 20-minute “Fit Check” and 45-minute “Kickoff.”
3) Show proof, not perfection
Add 2–4 screenshots: calendars, checklists, journal streaks. Pair each with one sentence of context. Trust rises when proof looks real.
4) Productize outcomes
Create 2–3 fixed packages by result (not hours). Include deliverables: cadence, templates, check-ins, and the single metric you’ll track.
5) Keep momentum after the click
Enable Messaging for quick prep and Video Chat for the kickoff. Use a short intake form: goal, constraint, schedule. Send a templated welcome right away.
Example: 3-minute screen-share that clarifies value
On a call, share your screen. Show the Focus Reset story, then a one-page plan template. Next, open your Book Appointment/Book Order form and place the kickoff on your calendar. Finally, paste your “Week 1 checklist” into chat. The client leaves with a date and a first win.
