Let’s talk about something that doesn’t get nearly enough attention, how to take a follower from "just looking" to "where do I sign up?" A lot of people focus on growing their audience, but if you don’t have a system in place to nurture and convert, you’re leaving money on the table.


The secret? Understanding the customer journey and guiding potential clients through it step by step. Let’s break it down.


Step 1: Attraction – Get the Right People to Notice You

It all starts with visibility. But not just any visibility, you want to attract the right people, the ones who actually need what you offer.


How to Attract Ideal Clients:

  • Create content that speaks directly to their struggles and goals.

  • Use keywords and hashtags your audience is searching for.

  • Show up consistently in Stories, Reels, and Lives to increase reach.

  • Engage with potential clients in the comments and DMs (aka, don’t just post and ghost!).


Step 2: Engagement – Build Trust & Connection

Once people find you, the goal is to keep them engaged so they start seeing you as their go-to expert.


How to Keep Them Hooked:

  • Post conversation-starting content (polls, questions, controversial takes—get them talking!).

  • Share personal stories and client success to create an emotional connection.

  • Offer free value in the form of tips, mini-trainings, or quick wins.

  • Show up in your DMs! Answer questions, start genuine conversations, and be helpful.

Step 3: Conversion – Turn Followers into Paying Clients

This is where a lot of coaches struggle. They give so much value but never actually ask for the sale or make it easy for people to take action.


Ways to Convert More Followers into Clients:

  • Use clear, compelling CTAs in your posts and Stories.

  • Talk about your offer often, if you’re not, people won’t know it exists.

  • Make booking a session or buying from you as simple as possible (no long forms or confusing steps!).

  • Use urgency and exclusivity to encourage action (limited spots, limited time, etc.).


Step 4: Retention – Keep Clients Coming Back

Once someone becomes a client, the journey isn’t over. Loyal, repeat clients and referrals come from amazing client care and ongoing value.


How to Keep Clients Happy & Engaged:

  • Check in regularly with current and past clients.

  • Offer exclusive resources, bonuses, or insider perks.

  • Create a community (Facebook group, private chat, or membership) where clients feel supported.

  • Ask for testimonials and referrals—and actually use them in your marketing!


Final Thoughts

Turning leads into loyal clients isn’t about luck, it’s about strategy. When you create a seamless journey from attraction to conversion to retention, you’ll build a business that grows on repeat customers and word-of-mouth referrals.
