🌟 Module 18: Social Proof & Content 101
Turn happy client results into simple content that attracts ideal clients on repeat.
2. Why It Matters
People don’t buy coaching—they buy outcomes and proof that those outcomes are possible for them. Social proof lowers risk, shortens sales cycles, and makes your offers feel safe. When you pair proof with consistent, helpful content, you create a trust engine that brings clients to you without constant pitching.
3. Step-by-Step Guide
Choose 3 Wins You Can Publicly Share
List three recent client results (with permission): a metric change (e.g., energy, labs, weight), a habit win, and a quality‑of‑life quote. These will anchor your first content set.
Collect Consent the Easy Way
Send a short consent form with checkboxes for name usage, anonymized initials, or fully anonymous. Include a question asking what they’d say to someone on the fence.
Turn Each Win into 3 Content Pieces
Use the Proof Trio: (A) 150‑word mini case study, (B) 3‑slide carousel, (C) 45–60s talking‑head video summarizing the key shift and takeaway.
Publish on a Simple Weekly Rhythm
Pick two days per week: one proof post, one helpful tip post that ties back to your framework. Consistency beats volume.
Close the Loop with a Soft CTA
Every proof piece ends with a simple CTA: “Want this result for yourself? Comment ‘PLAN’ or book a no‑pressure consult here → your link.”
4. Examples & Options
Mini Case Study (Template)
Client: “A.” (anonymized)
Starting Point: Afternoon crashes, inconsistent meals, stress snacking.
Plan: Protein anchor at breakfast, 10‑min walk after lunch, 2x weekly accountability check‑ins.
Result (4 weeks): Energy 4/10 → 7/10, 2.5 lbs down, fewer cravings, better sleep onset.
Quote: “I finally stop thinking about food all day and have energy for my kids again.”
Implementation Options
DIY: Write posts in Google Docs; design a simple carousel in Canva Free; record a phone video.
Mid‑level: Use Typefully/Buffer to schedule; Canva Pro for brand kit; Descript for quick captioning.
Advanced: Hire a freelancer to turn each case study into a blog + carousel + video clip pack monthly.
Sample CTA Script
“If you’re dealing with afternoon crashes and cravings, this is exactly what we solved for A. I’ll map your first 2 steps on a free 15‑min call. Comment ‘PLAN’ or grab a time → [your link].”
5. Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Vague wins: Instead of “felt better,” say “Energy 4/10 → 7/10 in 4 weeks.”
- No consent: Instead of posting casually, use a simple consent form with clear options.
- Inconsistent posting: Instead of random bursts, commit to two posts per week for 8 weeks.
- No CTA: Instead of ending with nothing, invite a comment or link to a consult.
- All selling, no helping: Pair proof posts with one useful tip post each week.
