For coaches, trainers and mentors

# Stop giving away _the first session._

Fitness, career, business, life: every coach knows the message that starts with "quick question" and ends with a free consultation. Put a fair price and a guaranteed turnaround on those questions. Help more people than you could ever get on a call, and let the serious ones qualify themselves.

How "quick question" usually goes

1.  1
    
    **The DM**
    
    "Hey, quick one: I've plateaued for three months, here's my split, what would you change?"
    
2.  2
    
    **Your twenty minutes**
    
    You read the plan, spot the problem, write a proper answer, because that's who you are.
    
3.  3
    
    **The reply**
    
    "Thanks so much!!" Then silence. No booking, no follow-up, and tomorrow there are three more.
    

The advice was worth money. Only the delivery channel said it was free.

Review my plan · €30 · "You're doing 22 sets of chest and 6 of back. The plateau is posture, not effort."

The same twenty minutes, paid

## Mark it up.  
Send it back. _Get paid._

They upload the plan and answer two questions: what's the goal, where are you stuck. You mark it up like you would for a client and send it inside your window. Training plans, business plans, weekly schedules, meal plans: whatever people keep asking you to "just take a look at".

### Apply for coaching

A real application before anyone gets on a call: where they are, where they want to go, what they can commit. You read it and decide. Every applicant paid for a thoughtful answer either way.

Prices are template defaults you can change. Whether applicants become clients is up to you and them.

Common worries

## "Isn't this just a  
_paid consultation?_"

It's the step before one. A paid question lets you help people who will never book a call, and the application qualifies the ones who should. You set the scope in the form, so nobody expects a full session for the price of a question. Can't answer something properly in text? Say what the next step is, record a short video, or refund it in one click.

**Your intake, paid**

Make the application your only intake link. Every enquiry arrives structured, serious and already paid.

**Video replies**

Paste an unlisted Loom or YouTube link instead of typing. Many coaches find it faster.

**Deadline you control**

Three days, a week, whatever fits your schedule. Miss it and the requester is refunded automatically.
