Client Overview
Dr. Joel is a finance coach and a founder of sutton capital in a competitive niche, specializing in helping professionals transition into Private Equity, Venture Capital, and Investment Banking roles.
Client Profile
Dr. Joel possesses deep industry knowledge and a passion for advancing finance careers. While his expertise established him as an authority in PE/VC/IB, his business infrastructure wasn't optimized to leverage this expertise effectively.
Industry Focus
The finance career coaching market for PE/VC/IB positions offers high-value opportunities amid intense competition. These exclusive roles make quality coaching invaluable to ambitious professionals seeking entry into these fields.
Core Offering
Dr. Joel's high-ticket career transition system provides comprehensive guidance, insider knowledge, and strategic planning for professionals pursuing opportunities in private equity, venture capital, or investment banking.
Despite his valuable service and expertise, Dr. Joel's business underperformed relative to its potential. His high-ticket offering was well-positioned for growth, but lacked the necessary systems to facilitate expansion.
The Challenge
When Dr. Joel first approached us, his business was generating approximately $1,000 per month despite offering a premium service in a lucrative market. Despite his expertise in finance and career transitions, his marketing and sales infrastructure was preventing growth and draining resources.
Prohibitive Acquisition Costs
Dr. Joel was spending between $600-$900 to acquire a single booked call, making his marketing efforts financially unsustainable and preventing profitable scaling.
Poor Lead Quality
The leads coming through his funnel were inconsistent and often unqualified, resulting in wasted time on calls with prospects who weren't serious about investing in his program.
Ineffective Nurturing
Without proper follow-up systems, potential clients were falling through the cracks, and opportunities to build trust and demonstrate value were being missed.
Technical Barriers
Fundamental issues with his calendar system and funnel were creating friction in the booking process, causing interested prospects to abandon before scheduling.
Prior to our engagement, Dr. Joel had attempted to solve these issues by hiring various freelancers and managing advertising campaigns himself. These efforts not only failed to produce results but further complicated his systems and drained his resources. The disconnect between his expertise and his ability to attract clients was preventing his business from achieving its potential.
Our Solution: The High-Impact Client Acquisition System
After analyzing Dr. Joel's business, we implemented a comprehensive client acquisition system designed to address each critical failure point while creating a sustainable framework for long-term growth.
Funnel Rebuild & Optimization
We completely overhauled the existing funnel, fixing the broken application page and restructuring the calendar form to eliminate technical barriers. The 25-minute video sales letter (VSL) was rewritten and redesigned to engage prospects and drive conversions. These improvements led to higher quality leads and a consistent 3x-8x ROI monthly.
Offer Repositioning
Dr. Joel's original positioning lacked clarity and impact. We reframed his offer to the clear, outcome-driven promise: "We help professionals transition into PE/VC/IB roles in 60 days." This precise positioning resonated deeply with his target audience and immediately differentiated his services.
High-Converting Ad Campaigns
We launched targeted campaigns using proven direct response frameworks. The copy was specifically crafted to attract qualified prospects ready to invest. With $20,000 spent on Meta Ads, we generated over $100,000 in tracked revenue directly attributable to these campaigns.
CRM + Email Automation
We built a comprehensive backend nurturing engine featuring a 7-part email sequence post-opt-in and three newsletters per week focused on real success stories and results. This system significantly boosted trust, credibility, and conversions among prospects.
Sales Scripting & Messaging
All ad scripts and VSLs were developed using high-performing persuasion frameworks, consistently updated to stay ahead of market saturation and maintain effectiveness.
Technical Integrations & Tracking
We implemented automated notifications for Dr. Joel whenever a call was booked. Lead data was stored and reviewed bi-weekly to track performance and make continuous improvements to the system.
This integrated approach addressed all the critical weaknesses in Dr. Joel's previous setup while creating a scalable, automated system that could grow with his business. By focusing on both the technical infrastructure and the persuasive messaging, we created a client acquisition machine that delivered consistent results without requiring his constant attention.
The Results
The implementation of our High-Impact Client Acquisition System transformed Dr. Joel's business, taking it from a struggling practice to a thriving enterprise. The results were both immediate and sustainable, creating a foundation for continued growth.

350+
Booked Calls
Generated over 350 qualified consultation calls every month, creating a consistent pipeline of potential clients
$50-80
Cost Per Call

5x
ROI on Ad Spend

$0.17
Best Cost Per Call
One of our top-performing ads even brought the cost per booked call down to just $0.17 an exceptional result that outperformed industry benchmarks.
Beyond these impressive metrics, Dr. Joel experienced a complete transformation in his business operations. His calendar became consistently booked to capacity—so much so that he couldn't personally handle the volume of calls coming through the system. This positive "problem" allowed him to focus on delivering exceptional service to his clients rather than constantly chasing new leads.
The system we implemented continued to perform consistently month after month, creating predictable revenue and growth. This stability allowed Dr. Joel to make confident business decisions and investments in further expanding his coaching practice.

This testimonial encapsulates the core value proposition of our system: allowing experts to focus on their zone of genius while the client acquisition process runs efficiently in the background. For Dr. Joel, this meant he could dedicate his time and energy to what he does best—helping professionals transition into prestigious finance roles—rather than getting bogged down in marketing and sales activities.
The transformation wasn't just financial but also affected his quality of life and professional satisfaction. By removing the stress and uncertainty of lead generation, Dr. Joel could operate with confidence and focus on delivering exceptional results for his clients.
His success story demonstrates how the right systems and strategies can unlock exponential growth for coaches and consultants who have valuable expertise but lack the marketing infrastructure to reach their ideal clients effectively.
