Phase 5: Proof & Close

This is it. Everything from Days 1-10 feeds into these final 4 days. Every connection, every hand-raiser, every Loom viewer, every workshop attendee — they all come back here.

Follow Up with Page Clickers
DEREK-13.1
30 min
  • Message each clicker: "Noticed you checked out the page — any questions I can answer?"
  • Genuine curiosity, not pushy. Open a conversation, don't close a sale.

Handle Objections with Micro-Looms
DEREK-13.2
30 min
  • "Will this work in my niche?" → 30-sec Loom showing yes, with example
  • "I don't have time" → Address time commitment realistically. "2-3 hours/week, all async"
  • "What if I'm not technical?" → "It's methodology, not code. If you attended the workshop, you're ready."
  • Use Tool 27 library — just send the right pre-recorded link based on their concern
Re-send to Workshop No-Shows

Target3-5 paid enrollments closed
TimeDerek 90m | Will 60m | Jason 15m
Depends OnDay 13 pipeline + all Phase 5 momentum
KPI$4,500-7,500 closed + sprint retrospective
Day 14 Success Criteria
Final 24-hour push completed. 3-5 paid enrollments at $1,500 each = $4,500-7,500. Paying members onboarded (Slack invite, calendar links). If overflow: waitlist created for Cohort 2 at $3,000. Sprint retrospective completed. Full funnel documented.
Decision Gate: Overflow vs Underflow
If 5+ people want in: Take first 5, create waitlist. Message overflow: "Cohort 1 is full. Join May cohort at $3,000." This creates FOMO for next launch.

If <3 people commit: Analyze what broke. No signal? Signal but no conversion? Document learnings. Decide: extend deadline 48h OR pivot offer OR iterate for next sprint.
Make the overflow/underflow decision by 2pm — don't wait until midnight
