Bottlenecks Quiz

Five checkpoints. Most coaches pass two.

We audit coaches at $25K a month and up. Most pass two checkpoints out of five. This page holds the messaging for each result, so the follow up speaks to the checkpoint they actually failed.

The five checkpoints

Fix all five and the bank statement changes on its own.

Checkpoint 1

Speed to lead

How long a new lead waits before a human replies. Every hour of silence is a lead cooling toward someone else.

If they fail hereThe lead didn't go cold. They were left waiting. Speed is the cheapest fix on this list, and it's the one nobody wants to own.

Checkpoint 2

Qualification

Whether anything filters a prospect before a call gets booked. Without it the calendar fills with curiosity, not intent.

If they fail hereYour close rate isn't a sales skill problem. You're closing the wrong people. A real funnel filters before the call, not during it.

Checkpoint 3

Show rate

How many booked calls actually happen. A booking is not a meeting until someone shows up.

If they fail hereYou're paying for calls you never take. Reminders, confirmations and a reason to show are a system, not a personality trait.

Checkpoint 4

Follow up depth

How many times a lead is contacted before being written off. Most coaches quit after one or two. The money sits in follow ups five through ten.

If they fail hereYou didn't lose the deal. You stopped early. The follow ups you never sent are where the revenue was.

Checkpoint 5

Ascension

Whether a buyer has a next step to buy. No rung above the current offer means every client caps out at one transaction.

If they fail hereYou're refilling the top while the bottom leaks. The people who already paid you are the warmest list you own.

Which type of coach are you

Most coaches try to fix a problem they don't actually have.

Type 1

Under $10K a month

A great coach doing everything by hand. Nothing is wrong with the coaching. Everything is wrong with the scaffolding around it.

The fixA real system. Not more leads, not more hours.

Type 2

$10K to $25K a month

Real revenue is landing and the coach is still the bottleneck. Every deal still routes through one person.

The fixGet out of your own way. This is not a lead problem.

Type 3

$25K a month and up

There is a team, and the coach is still in every conversation. The work has been hired out. The decisions have not.

The fixA delegation problem, not a lead problem and not a bottleneck.

The mismatch that stalls everythingFixing a Type 3 problem with a Type 1 solution is why nothing's working. Name the type before you send the offer.
