You’re great at what you do. You know how to coach, program, and get your clients real results. But when it comes to launching a high-ticket coaching offer — the kind that commands $500, $1,000, even $2,000+, It’s easy to feel stuck.
“Do I need a huge audience?”
“What if no one buys?”
“Where do I even start?”
The truth is, you don’t need fancy tech, a massive email list, or months of prep. What you need is a clear, actionable roadmap, and the confidence to follow through.
This blog gives you a 30-day plan to go from idea to income, launching your first premium offer with clarity and confidence. Plus, you’ll see how TrueCoach can help you deliver a seamless, high-ticket experience from day one.
What Is a High-Ticket Coaching Program?
A high-ticket coaching program is a premium, results-driven package typically priced between $500 to $2,000+. Unlike low-ticket or one-off sessions, high-ticket programs are:
- Outcome-focused (not just “access to workouts”)
- Time-bound (e.g., 8-week or 90-day transformations)
- Personalized (via 1:1 support, coaching calls, accountability systems)
- Designed to help clients achieve a significant, measurable result
Now let’s break it down, week by week.
WEEK 1: Lay the Foundation
If you skip this step, everything else becomes harder. Before you price, post, or promote, get clear on the core of your offer — the transformation.
Key Tasks:
1. Define your niche and your “transformation promise”
Ask yourself:
- Who is my program for? (e.g., busy moms, CrossFit athletes, post-injury lifters)
- What’s the major transformation they’ll achieve?
Examples: “Lose 15 lbs and rebuild your metabolism,” or “Return to lifting post-surgery with full confidence.”
2. Clarify the outcome
Remember: high-ticket buyers aren’t just paying for workouts — they’re paying for results, clarity, and support.
Write your outcome like a promise:
“Over the next 12 weeks, we’ll rebuild your strength, confidence, and routine so you feel like an athlete again.”
3. Validate the offer
Before building anything, talk to your current/past clients:
- Send a DM or email asking: “If I offered a more hands-on 8-week coaching experience to help you [goal], would you be interested?”
- Host a poll or Q&A on Instagram Stories
- Schedule 5 short market research calls to gather insights
4. Start a waitlist or beta group
Create a simple Google Form or Typeform with:
- A brief program description
- A few qualifying questions
- A call-to-action like “Join the VIP list to get early access and a beta discount”
TrueCoach Tip: Use your current coaching data to pinpoint your best-fit clients for this offer. Who’s consistently completing workouts? Who asks deeper questions? These are your ideal high-ticket candidates.
WEEK 2: Craft Your Offer
Now that you’ve validated interest and defined your transformation, it’s time to build the program.
Key Tasks:
1. Decide the program structure
Choose a format that fits the transformation and your availability:
- 8-week intensive (great for body comp or mindset shifts)
- 12-week transformation (ideal for strength or long-term lifestyle change)
- Rolling monthly with a 3-month commitment (for ongoing support)
2. Create your deliverables
Ask: “What do my clients truly need to succeed?”
- Training: Personalized programming via TrueCoach
- Nutrition: Meal templates, tracking, or weekly reviews
- Accountability: Weekly check-ins, habit tracking, progress photos
- Coaching: Voxer/email access, 1:1 or group Zoom calls
3. Price the program confidently
A good pricing starting point:
Think of your time, the value of the transformation, and how many clients you can realistically serve.
If unsure, start with $750–$1,200 for a 6–12-week program and adjust from there.
4. Write your program landing page or outline
Include:
- Who it’s for and what results they’ll get
- A breakdown of what’s included
- Social proof/testimonials from past or similar clients
- Clear pricing or application instructions
Coach Tip:
Make sure your offer stands out from your regular services. Help prospects understand why this is more personalized, more effective, and more exclusive. For more info on how to price your services, check out our comprehensive guide here.
WEEK 3: Promote & Build Demand
You don’t need a massive audience — you need the right message in front of interested people. This week is about warming up leads and creating buzz.
Key Tasks:
1. Create awareness through content
- Share teaser posts and Reels about the transformation you’re offering
- Use before/after client stories or coach-led storytelling
- Show your face — talk about why this offer matters to you
2. Use Instagram Stories + Email
- Daily IG Story touchpoints: countdowns, polls, Q&As
- Use email to share your personal journey, client wins, or sneak peeks of what’s inside the program
3. Host a live Q&A or workshop
This positions you as an authority and gives people a low-commitment way to learn more.
Topic ideas:
- “The 3 Shifts My Clients Make to Lose 15 lbs Without Burning Out”
- “What You Actually Need to Build Strength Post-Injury”
4. Connect via DMs or email
- Reach out to past clients or warm leads
- Use messages like:
“Hey [Name], I’m launching a new coaching experience for [niche]. Thought of you — want the details?”
5. Pre-qualify leads
Send them to your interest form or waitlist page with a CTA like:
- “DM me VIP and I’ll send over the early access info.”
- “Apply now to be one of the first 5 beta clients.”
WEEK 4: Sell & Deliver Like a Pro
The interest is built — now it’s time to close and onboard your first high-ticket clients.
Key Tasks:
1. Open enrollment
- Post your offer with a clear CTA: “Doors are open. Apply now.”
- Use urgency: “Only 5 spots for this round.”
- Share FAQs and address objections in Stories
2. Schedule discovery calls or application reviews
Ask questions like:
- “What are your top 1–2 goals over the next 90 days?”
- “Why now?”
- “What’s been your biggest challenge reaching that goal?”
3. Onboard your new clients
Use TrueCoach or your preferred CRM to:
- Send intake forms
- Review goals and baseline data
- Set expectations and weekly accountability check-ins
4. Deliver an exceptional Day 1 experience
- Welcome message or personal video
- Clear instructions on how to access workouts, coaching calls, and check-ins
- Encourage your new clients to share their journey — they become your next testimonials
Tip: Use TrueCoach’s habit tracking, custom video messages, and automated programming to create a white-glove onboarding experience that feels as high-touch as your price point. Learn more.
