Day 1: The Big Announcement (Get Noticed & Start Attracting Leads!)
Your first step is to announce your online coaching offer in a way that grabs attention instantly. This means crafting your 5-1-90 Hook, a simple but powerful statement that makes it clear what you do and who you help. This is where you take a bold step and position yourself as a coach who is ready to serve.
✅ How to Get Leads:
- Post your 5-1-90 Hook as an Instagram post, Facebook post, and WhatsApp story.
- Update your social media bio and add a CTA (Call-to-Action) like: “DM me ‘READY’ if you want to get fit in 90 days!”
- Personally message 10-15 people in your network who may be interested.

Day 2: Building Trust with Social Proof & Success Stories
People buy from those they trust. Today’s goal is to showcase client wins (or your personal transformation) to establish credibility. If you already have past clients, this is the perfect time to highlight their success stories. If you don’t have testimonials yet, don’t worry—you can use your own fitness journey as an example or share how your knowledge has helped others.
✅ How to Get Leads:
- Post before & after results with a short story on how you helped a client.
- Use Instagram Stories to share DMs or testimonials from past clients.
- Create a poll or Q&A sticker on Instagram asking: “Are you struggling with [problem]? Let’s chat!”

Day 3: Giving Value (So People Come to You!)
Engagement is key! Instead of constantly selling, you’ll start giving—offering something valuable for free. This could be a free meal plan, a workout template, or a simple strategy that your audience finds useful.
✅ How to Get Leads:
- Post a lead magnet offer: “Drop a ‘MEAL PLAN’ in the comments, and I’ll send you a free diet guide!”
- Send follow-up DMs to everyone who engages with your post.
- Offer a free live Q&A session where people can ask fitness questions.

Day 4: Handling Objections & Closing Clients with Ease
By now, people are interested—but they may still have doubts. Today is all about addressing their biggest concerns and helping them feel confident about joining your program. You’ll identify common objections (like “I don’t have time” or “I’m not sure if this will work for me”) and respond to them in a way that removes fear and hesitation.
✅ How to Get Leads:
- Post an objection-busting post (e.g., “No time? My program only takes 30 minutes a day, from home!”)
- DM people who previously showed interest but haven’t signed up.
- Offer a limited-time discount or bonus for those who join today.
