Study This First

Read this carefully before completing the test. You have 48 hours. The test will ask you to apply what you learn here, so understand the WHY behind each step, not just the words.

Who You Are in This Role

You represent May Long, an online health and fitness coach. In every DM conversation, you ARE May. The prospect always thinks they are talking to May directly. You speak in first person as May at all times.

Your job is NOT to sell or convince people. Your job covers three steps: qualify prospects in the DMs, run the rapport call yourself to confirm they are ready, and book the sales call Zoom for May. May only closes on the Zoom. Everything before that is your responsibility. There is a big difference. People hate being sold to. They love being genuinely helped.

The core mindset: You are the authority. You are not chasing anyone. You offer help only to people who want it. The moment you start pushing or feeling eager to book a call, pull back. You never want to sound like you need them. They need you.

The Business — What May Does

May coaches men and women of all ages who are struggling to lose weight, have low energy, deal with high blood pressure, bad cholesterol numbers, blood sugar issues, early blood sugar problems, type 2 diabetes, or body changes like menopause. These are people who have tried things before and nothing has worked long term.

Her program has four things: a full health check to understand what is going on in their body, a nutrition plan they can actually stick to, a workout plan that fits their life, and weekly check-ins so they stay on track. Everything is personal to them.

In the DMs you never explain the full program and you never talk about price. Your job has three steps and all three are yours.

May only takes over at the Zoom. Everything before that is your responsibility.

You never quote price. Your job covers three steps: qualify the prospect in the DMs, run the rapport call yourself, and book the sales call Zoom for May. May only takes over at the sales call Zoom. Everything before that is yours.

The Three Phases — The Curious Framework

Every conversation moves through three phases in order. Never skip ahead.

Phase 1
Connection

Build a real, warm, human connection first. Get them talking. Be genuinely friendly. This is also where you naturally learn where they are from and what they do for work.

Example opener — new follower"Hey [Name]! Thanks for the follow! Anything specific you were hoping to find on this page?"
Example opener — commented on post"Hey [Name]! Thanks for the comment on my post, really appreciate it! Out of curiosity, what about it resonated with you?"
Example opener — free guide request"Hey [Name]! Here's that free guide you asked for [link]. Out of curiosity, what made you reach out for this one specifically? Is there something you're working on right now?"
Phase 2
Find the Struggle

Once connection is established, ask permission to dig in. Then find out what they are struggling with, what they have tried, how long it has been a problem, and what their goal is. You need all of this before you can pitch a call.

Asking permission first"Honestly, would you mind if I asked a few quick questions? Would love to see if I could point you in the right direction or send over a relevant resource. No worries either way!"
Finding the struggle"So for starters, what's been the biggest challenge for you with nutrition, training, or just your health in general?"
Going deeper"Got it. And how long has that been going on for you?"
Finding the goal"What are you trying to achieve in the next few months? Do you have a specific goal in mind?"
Checking priority"So I think I've got some ideas, but I always have to ask. Is fixing this a real priority right now or more of a get-to-it-eventually kind of thing?"
Phase 3
Pitch the Call

Only after you know their struggle, their goal, and that it is a priority do you pitch the call. Keep it casual and low pressure. You are not selling. You are offering a conversation.

Call pitch"Honestly this is worth a quick chat. Would you be against a quick 10 to 15 min call? Nothing being pitched, just way easier to actually help you than going back and forth here."
If they hesitate"Totally fair, nothing being sold, just easier to talk than type it all out. If you don't mind me asking, what's holding you back?"
Booking it"Awesome! What's the best email and number to reach you at? I'll get you booked in."

The RAQ Formula — Use It Every Single Message

RAQ stands for Repeat, Acknowledge, Question. Every message you send should follow this structure. It is what makes you sound like a real, caring human and not an interrogator firing questions at someone.

🔁
Repeat: Briefly repeat back what they just said so they feel heard.
Acknowledge: Acknowledge it warmly. Show empathy. Make them feel understood.
Question: Ask ONE question to keep moving forward. Only one. Never stack two questions in the same message.
Example of RAQ in actionProspect says: "I've been trying to lose weight for two years and nothing is working."

Your reply: "Two years of putting in the effort and still not seeing results, that's honestly so frustrating. Out of curiosity, what have you actually tried so far?"
Notice how the reply repeats their situation, acknowledges how frustrating it must feel, then asks exactly one question. This is what every message should feel like.

Permission Language — Always Ask Before Digging

Before you ask personal questions about someone's health or struggles, always ask permission first. It feels less intrusive and people are much more likely to open up.

Rotate these so you never sound scripted. Never use the same one twice in a row:

What to Confirm Before Pitching a Call

You must know all of these before you pitch the call. Claude AI will help you track these, but you need to understand why each one matters.

1️⃣
Their main challenge — specific, not vague. "I want to be healthier" is not enough. "My bloodwork came back concerning and my doctor is worried" is specific.
2️⃣
What they have tried — what did they already attempt? If they haven't tried anything, the pain isn't high enough yet.
3️⃣
How long it's been a problem — the longer, the more frustrated they are, and the more ready they are for real help.
4️⃣
Their specific goal — a number or an outcome, not "feel better." "Lose 25 pounds" or "get off my BP medication" is specific.
5️⃣
Their why — the deeper reason behind the goal. What does fixing this mean to them personally?
6️⃣
Their job — what they do for work. This tells you if they can realistically invest in coaching.
7️⃣
Their location — where they are based. May coaches virtually and works primarily with US and Canadian clients.
8️⃣
Urgency — is this a real priority right now or a someday thing? Only pitch people who say it is a priority.
9️⃣
Willingness to invest — do they signal they are open to investing in their health? This does not mean asking about price. It means reading whether they are serious.

When NOT to Pitch a Call

Do not pitch if any of these are true:
Exception — pitch a new follower when ALL THREE are true:

The Hard Rules — Never Break These

🚫
Never coach in the DMs. Tell them WHAT they need, never HOW to do it. If they ask how, that is your cue to pitch the call.
🚫
Never quote price. If they ask, say the program varies depending on what they need and the best next step is a quick call to figure out the right fit first.
🚫
Never stack two questions. One question per message, every time. Always.
🚫
Never sound pushy or eager. You are not chasing. You are offering. If they hesitate, pull back. If they say no, respect it.
🚫
Never explain the full program in DMs. Keep it short. The Zoom is where May explains everything in detail.
Always use proper grammar and capitalization. Every sentence starts with a capital letter. No exceptions.
Always sound warm and human. Write like a real woman texting a friend. Not corporate, not robotic, not salesy.
Always give free resources. When someone mentions a struggle, send them a matching free guide. It builds trust and shows you genuinely care.

Free Guides — Match to Their Situation

May has free guides for almost every situation. When someone mentions a specific struggle, offer the matching guide. Never dump multiple guides at once. Give one, follow with a question.
