Peter Svenning studied 1,000 coaches and found most fail because they rely on expensive agency funnels. Ellie spent $11,000 on ads and got zero clients, then sent 15 personal messages to her network in 20 minutes and landed 8 paying clients at $1,000 a month each.

Most coaches waste a fortune on agencies that promise them leads. But these leads almost never turn into real clients. And after studying thousand coaches who struggle to get clients, I discovered why coaches fail when they're using agencies. So in this video, I'm going to show you the biggest mistakes coaches make and exactly what to do instead. To actually bring in clients who are the right fit so that you can start coaching by simply being who you already are. And to show you exactly what to avoid if you want more clients. I'm going to show you what Ellie, a student in my program, did. People always come to Ellie for advice. She fixes problems in 20 minutes that others takes months. She's already coaching, but she just doesn't get paid for it. But when she finally decided to charge for what she does best, something happened that as he destroyed talented coaches every single day and it costs her dearly, Ellie got an invitation from a marketing agency. It wasn't an ad saying, here, here's what we want to sell. But they're sneaky. They're saying we're looking for partners. Smart, right? For someone with LS background, this felt serious. Here's what they got her to pay for agencies fees, which was $6,000. Facebook ads, which was $5,000. And then starting to produce a webinar that was months of work that led to nothing. In total, it was over $11,000 and months of wasted time she'll never get back. But the worst part was that it got her to create content for that web. Felt completely wrong to her. That destroyed everything she had built up. Look at this webinar she had to create. It's not her at all. And it's bad grammar. This happens when authentic leaders get forced into soulless marketing that goes against everything they stand for. It's very transactional and it doesn't reflect the depth and the profound change that true heart centered coaches want to make in the world. And after burning true $11,000 and feeling f week, here's the results. She got hundreds of leads from Facebook. All good people, but completely strangers to Ellie. And she had to call, call them. When Ellie called, I was like, huh? I don't remember signing up for anything. It was hours and days and weeks wasted calling confused people who had no idea who she was. That led to zero attempted conversations, zero paying clients. And Elle felt completely defeated. $11,000, months of frustration and zero clients. And worst of all, she felt like she had betrayed herself. Here's the thing that agencies don't understand about people like you and me. You have Built respect over many years. You won't throw that away for cheap tricks that makes you sound and feel fake. Coaching isn't about selling to strangers on Facebook. It's about helping people who already trust you. And agencies trust coaching. It's selling sucks online. But real coaching needs trust, and you can't buy that with transactional ads. You don't need to sell your soul to get clients. There's a way that honors who you really are. So what did we do instead? I have this simple free tool I made with eight questions about your real story. Who you are, what you've been through, and who you want to help. In just 20 minutes, I learned about Ellie's journey from being a stressed out professional to someone who wanted to help others find their silence. Then I wrote a message for her that sounded just like her. Did not sound like a robot. See the difference? The agency version is fake and embarrassing. My version speaks from her real experience to people who actually care. When Ellis saw the message that I made for her, she said, ah, this is so me. And she said it again and again and again, five times in a row in that conversation. Finally, it felt right. But here's what happened when Ellic sent this message to just 15 people she knew in her network and I help her find those 15. And then 12 of them wanted to talk to her. That's 80% response rate. Out of those 12, eight of them became paying clients at $1,000 a month each. That's $8,000 per month from sending just one right message. And this cost her $0 compared to the $11,000 she wasted. And the time was just 20 minutes to send a message that I wrote for her versus with a generic, frustrating webinar. And this story keeps getting better from here. For the first time, Elle could help people at a deeper level and get paid for her wisdom. By the way, if you want me to write your real message personally, just like I did with Elle, you can use the link in the description or you can find it@piercevening.com I write these messages myself. I work hard to capture who you really are. That's why I can only help a limited number of people. Click the link in the description and you'll be first in line. And by the way, it's free. This isn't just Ellie's story. This happens everywhere. Your network knows who you are. That's why they want to help you. You don't need fake systems. You just need to share your real story with people who already respect you. We help each other. It's what you do. Your network wants to support you in your meaningful work if you ask the right way. And that's exactly what I help you with in the message that I write for you. Here's what agencies don't tell you. They make money keeping you dependent on systems that feel wrong. But you already have everything you need. You have life experience that qualifies you. You have a network that trusts you. You have the ability to create real, deep breakthroughs for people. And you have that deep wisdom that people need. While everyone else gets overwhelmed with AI and automations. People long for real human wisdom, now more than ever before. The coaches who succeed aren't the ones with the complicated systems. They're real people brave enough to be themselves. Your story, your transformation, what you've learned, that's what people want. Your network is waiting. Your dream clients are waiting. People who need your wisdom their own, one real conversation away. So stop pretending to be someone else. Start being yourself. You can get your personal message written through my tool, just like Elly did. The link is below or@petersfunding.com so if you want to see exactly what to say in those conversations to get people to say, I must work with you, watch this video next, where I show you exactly what creates waiting lists. I'll see you there.
