Today I'm joined by John Meese, creator of SOLD OUT Coach Club, for a deep dive into his 7-step framework for building a high-ticket group coaching business—with zero social media, zero paid ads, and just 30 hours a week.
We explore how John earns $30K/month with one assistant and a lean coaching model, why most memberships fail, how to launch without scale, and how to turn client wins into your best marketing engine.
You’ll learn how to find your bullseye client, craft a 10x promise, enroll with “hand raiser” emails, and use coaching calls to refine your pitch—all while building a creator business that funds your life and gives you your time back.
