Trading educator (anonymized)
5x backend revenue per lead without raising ad spend or shipping a new course.
J.E. came to us running a trading education business that lived launch-to-launch. Front-end leads were cheap, the course backend was healthy during launches, and revenue cratered between them. We rebuilt the offer ladder so each stage converted on its own economics, rewrote the sales page and webinar script, and shipped a lifecycle email and SMS system that converted course buyers into coaching clients. Backend revenue per lead climbed roughly 5x - on the same ad spend, the same audience, and without launching anything new.
