Ever go to a weekend table eventโฆ collect a clipboard full of leadsโฆ
โฆonly to get ghosted by 90% of them?
Thatโs more of a bummer than scoring a suite at a Coldplay concertโฆ
โฆand then watching your entire career and personal life implode in public over a Kiss Cam.
You give up your Saturday. You sweat your face off. You get tons of โinterestedโ people. And by Monday? Crickets.
Iโve been there. And it sucks.
But if youโre going to give up your weekend, you better get something out of it.
So today, Iโm giving you 3 stupid-simple strategies to boost your response rates and turn more of those leads into actual enrollments.
Even better? These tips take almost zero extra effort.
โ Strategy #1: Pre-frame the text or call
Before they walk away from your booth, say this:
โYouโll get a text later from a 484 number, thatโs me, so you know itโs not spam. You can reply to it directly.โ
Why it works:
We all ignore unknown numbers these days because spam is out of control. This one sentence makes your outreach feel personal and expected, which means more people actually read and respond.
โ๏ธ Strategy #2: YOU (the instructor) write their info
Do not let them write it down.
Why?
-
You wonโt be stuck trying to decode chicken scratch like itโs ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics.
-
People are less likely to lie or give fake info when theyโre saying it directly to you.
Youโll get cleaner leads and more accurate contact info. Period.
โก Strategy #3: Reach out the same day
Donโt wait until Monday. Donโt wait until youโre โless busy.โ
Get those leads into your CRM ASAP, ideally immediately after the event.
Pro tip: If you have paper leads, take a photo and use ChatGPT to transcribe them into a spreadsheet so you can upload them in minutes. [Thanks @Cris Rodriguez for the tip]
Why it matters: Strike while the ironโs hot. If you wait, theyโll forget who you are faster than you forget where you left the TV remote.
And hey, Iโve got 1 more bonus strategy that can DOUBLE your response rate with just one text template.
