What is The Coach's Flow Map?
The Coach's Flow Map is a free 14-page fillable PDF that audits the nine stages between a stranger and a paying client: Attract, Capture, Respond, Nurture, Book, Show, Convert, Retain and Reactivate. At each stage you score yourself from one to five, check the statements that sound familiar, and read what your answers likely mean along with the one fix that stage usually needs. The goal is not a perfect score, it is finding the one or two stages actually costing you clients right now.
What are the nine stages of a coaching client journey?
The nine stages of a coaching client journey are Attract, Capture, Respond, Nurture, Book, Show, Convert, Retain and Reactivate. Every client moves through them in that order, from the first time she notices you to coming back after she has gone quiet. Most coaches look at each problem separately, but a leak at one stage, such as a slow reply at Respond, quietly shrinks every stage after it.
How do I find where my coaching business is losing clients?
Score every stage of your client journey side by side instead of fixing the one that feels loudest. The stage that makes the most noise is rarely the one losing the most people, which is why The Coach's Flow Map has you start at your lowest score, not your most urgent one. Two or more checked statements at a stage usually means that is where the leak is.
Who is The Coach's Flow Map for?
The Coach's Flow Map is for health and wellness coaches who already get leads, including nutrition, fitness, hormone and gut health, and mental wellness coaches. It assumes people are already finding you and helps you see what happens to them next. If nobody is reaching out yet, the map will show you that at the Attract stage, but it is not built to fix a lack of traffic.
How long does The Coach's Flow Map take to fill in?
The Coach's Flow Map takes about fifteen to twenty minutes if you answer honestly. Each of the nine stages has a one-to-five score, four checkboxes and a notes field, and you can answer from what you already know about your business. You can also split it across two sittings, because your answers save into the PDF.
Do my answers save, and what do I need to open the Flow Map?
Yes, your scores, checkboxes and notes are real form fields, so saving the file keeps everything you typed. You need a PDF reader that supports form fields, such as Adobe Acrobat or most desktop PDF readers, because some phone and browser viewers show the map but will not let you fill it in. Saving it also means you can redo it every few months and compare your scores as your systems change.
What should I do after I get my Flow Map scores?
Start at your lowest-scoring stage, not the one that feels most urgent. Those are usually different stages, and the lowest one is where clients are actually going missing, so fixing it tends to lift every stage after it. Each stage page tells you what the pattern likely means and the one change that stage normally needs.
Is The Coach's Flow Map the same as a discovery call?
No, the Flow Map is a self-audit you fill in on your own, while the discovery call is a free 30-minute conversation with Shapei Tragico. Many coaches fill in the map first so they arrive at the call already knowing their lowest-scoring stage. You can use either one without the other.
Is The Coach's Flow Map free, and what happens after I download it?
Yes, The Coach's Flow Map is free. The PDF opens straight away and a copy arrives in your inbox, followed by a few short emails about what happens after someone raises her hand. You can unsubscribe from those emails at any time with one click.
Who made The Coach's Flow Map?
The Coach's Flow Map was made by Shapei Tragico, a client acquisition systems specialist for health and wellness coaches. The nine stages are the same ones she maps and rebuilds inside HighLevel when she builds a coach's client acquisition system, which is why every stage comes with a fix and not just a score. If you want your own map read with you, the free 30-minute discovery call is where she does that.
