A Funnel Full of Ghosts
Ryan runs a popular online fitness coaching business. His webinars were packed with energy and 10,000 people opted in, but most never responded afterward. Only 30 calls were being booked each month.
“People loved the content but once the webinar ended, they vanished,” Ryan said.
Where Things Fell Apart
Half of leads never clicked a single follow-up email
Ryan and his VA could only make a few follow-up calls each day
Most of the few who booked didn’t show up
Sharpen-AI Delivered Two Powerful Agents
Within a week, two new assistants went live:
A Voice Callback Agent called leads within 60 seconds of webinar exit, sounded natural, and answered key questions
A WhatsApp Bot followed up with helpful tips and nudges to book a call
Once someone booked, reminders were sent 24 hours, 3 hours, and 30 minutes before the call with a reschedule link.
Here’s What Happened Next
Discovery calls rose from 30 to 150 per month
Show-up rates improved from 60% to 90%
$75,000 in new business was linked directly to the follow-up system
Conversion from attendee to booked call increased by 312%
“My calendar exploded. I finally get to coach instead of chase leads. People show up ready, excited, and prepared to work,” Ryan said.
Why It Worked
Instant callbacks kept momentum alive
WhatsApp messages felt human and authentic
The reminder sequence protected every slot
Automation handled all the manual effort, letting Ryan focus on clients
Ryan’s funnel now runs itself, bringing in over 150 calls each month and giving him back the freedom to do what he does best: coach.
