The Lead Magnet Path: An Honest Read

What the data says, what I'm still not sure about, and where I think we go from here. Prepared for Sarah and Kaylee · June 1, 2026

This isn't another list of questions. It's my honest read on the lead-magnet and dialing path now that we have real data behind it: what I'm seeing, what I'm still unsure about, and what I think we should do next.

The Number That Matters
0 of 107
survey leads have bought a ticket

Checked by email and by phone, against every ticket order.

Section One

What the Data Says

I checked all 107 survey leads against every ticket order, by email and by phone. Zero of them have bought a ticket. Not one.

When I looked at who these leads actually are, the picture got clearer:

76%
are coaches just getting started, before their first paying client (about 3 in 4)
15 to 18
of the 107 look like genuine near-term buyers (about 16%)
Already
in your world: a good chunk recognized you, and some had bought from you before

That last point matters: the funnel is partly re-touching your existing audience rather than bringing in brand-new buyers, so the lead count looks bigger than the real opportunity inside it.

Kaylee's feedback confirmed it from the front line, and her notes were genuinely useful here. The people she reached were mostly folks who already knew you, a few from Andy's audience, and some who weren't a fit at all. The one person who agreed to book a call no-showed and then went quiet. That tells you most of what you need to know about the buying intent on these specific leads.

Section Two

What I'd Change, and It's on Me, Not Kaylee

The motion we ran was right for a different price point. Here's the honest version of what I'd do differently.

The friction we created

We had Kaylee running a phone-call-first motion. That is exactly right for a $20K mastermind, but it is heavy for a $47 ticket. Asking someone to hop on a call to buy a $47 thing is friction, and plenty of people in 2026 would rather just sort it over text. Kaylee's instinct to text first was spot on. The clearer direction on the motion should have come from me sooner.

The fix

The fix is text-first selling, with Kaylee still doing the selling. She runs the conversation over text, link in hand, and a call only comes near the end if it actually helps close it. People buy $1,000 to $7,000 things over text with a salesperson all the time. A $47 ticket should be even easier.

Section Three

What I'm Still Not Sure About

Two honest open questions, so you know exactly where the edges of my read are.

Wrong leads, or wrong message?

I don't have eyes on exactly what's being said on the calls and texts yet, so I can't fully separate "wrong leads" from "wrong message." My strong read is it is mostly the leads plus the forced-call friction, but I want to see the actual opener.

The warmer leads, measured on their own

We have also been blending two different lead types into one pile: the cold survey leads, and the people who opted in on the ticket page just to see prices. Those ticket-page folks are much warmer, and I haven't measured them on their own yet. I am pulling that list separately so we know whether dialing the warm ones is actually worth it. That part is a real open question, not a dead one.

Section Four

So, Is This Path Viable?

The verdict comes in two parts. One "no" and one "yes," depending on what we ask the path to do.

Verdict One · No

As a cold-leads-dialed-into-ticket-sales engine

No. The data is clear on that.

Verdict Two · Yes

As a feeder into your Q&As, webinars, and events

Yes, between now and June 24. That is where it earns its keep. With three weeks left there is no time to nurture slowly, so the play is a quick email plus an invite into the next live room, where you convert far better than any cold call will. It won't be a huge conversion piece on its own, but it can absolutely assist.

Section Five

Where I'd Put the Budget

With three weeks to go, the move is to concentrate fire on what is already working. Here is where each dollar does the most.

  • 1. Behind what is actually producing tickets right now The Andy-forward campaign, plus affiliates and cart-recovery. Those quietly drove the recent ticket sales, and that is where the next dollar does the most work.
  • 2. Keep the lead-magnet leads flowing as fuel for the Q&As and events They are cheap, but don't scale that spend chasing direct ticket sales. Cheap leads that don't buy tickets aren't really cheap.
  • 3. Hold on launching a second lead-magnet funnel for now Until we have proven the first one can even assist, spinning up a second one with three weeks to go just splits our focus when we should be concentrating fire.
  • 4. Point Kaylee's energy at the warmest people The ticket-page opt-ins and cart-abandons, using the text-first motion, and at driving attendance to the next live event.
Section Six

Next Steps (On My Side)

Three things I'm taking off your plate this week.

  • Pull the ticket-page opt-in list and measure it on its own.
  • Get these leads slotted into the next Q&A.
  • Tighten the text-first script with Kaylee once I see the current one.

This is exactly the kind of thing we want to catch early and pivot on fast. And we caught it early.
