📈 Conversion Meeting: Turning Challengers into Long-Term Clients
The Conversion Meeting is the most critical part of the client journey when it comes to increasing Lifetime Value (LTV). This is the meeting that turns a $599–$1,299 challenge client into a $2K–$10K+ member. If you only nail one part of your long-term retention process — make it this one.
🗓 When It Happens
Schedule between Days 18–27 of a 6-week challenge.
Why?
Waiting until the challenge ends is a massive mistake. By that time:
-
Clients feel “done”
-
You lose control of the sales process
-
They have no motivation to meet with you again
Run the conversion before the final week while their buy-in and results are highest.
🧠 Why Week 3 Works
-
Most clients have already seen real results (5–15 lbs lost)
-
They’re in a consistent routine
-
Confidence in themselves and your system is peaking
-
You’ll have additional time to follow up if needed
💸 The Offer: Upsell Time, Downsell Weekly Price
Upsell: Extend from 6 weeks to 12 months
Downsell: Lower the weekly rate
Example:
-
Challenge: 6 weeks at $100/week = $599
-
Long-term: 12 months at $49/week (with deposit applied across the contract)
Key Rule:
Your public weekly rate must be:
-
$60/week minimum for large group
-
$139/week minimum for semi-private
(EFT rates post-discount should be $49 or $119 respectively — minimums)
⚠️ Don’t discount too heavily by applying the full $599 all at once.
