Overview

This skill designs high-ticket application funnels that combine a Video Sales Letter (VSL) with a qualification application and calendar booking to convert qualified prospects into premium clients. It focuses on building desire with a VSL, filtering fit via targeted application questions, and closing with a seamless scheduling and follow-up process. The goal is to maximize deal value while protecting time by only booking vetted prospects.

How this skill works

I create a VSL-driven landing page that leads viewers into a short but strategic application. The application asks situation, goals, timeline, investment readiness, and commitment questions to qualify leads. Approved applicants receive booking access and a tailored email sequence (post-application, pre-call, post-call) to increase show rates and conversion. For declined applicants, I provide polite declines with alternative pathways to retain future interest.

When to use it

  • Launching or selling high-ticket services (coaching, consulting, done-for-you engagements).
  • When leads need qualification before sales time is spent on calls.
  • Converting long-form VSL viewers into booked strategy sessions.
  • When you need to raise average deal size and protect sales bandwidth.
  • Repositioning a service as premium and communicating ROI-focused value.

Best practices

  • Open the VSL with a specific transformation promise and social proof within the first minutes.
  • Use concise, high-signal application questions that reveal urgency, budget, and commitment.
  • Make qualification language exclusive: state who you work with and who you don’t.
  • Automate confirmation and reminder sequences to maximize show rate and reduce no-shows.
  • Provide clear next steps for declined applicants to preserve goodwill (resources or lower-ticket offers).

Example use cases

  • A 6-figure business coach selling 3-month premium intensives via a 20-minute VSL and a 5-question application.
  • An agency offering bespoke growth packages that screens leads for budget and timeline before booking strategy calls.
  • A founder selling high-ticket mastermind seats and using the funnel to qualify commitment and cultural fit.
  • A consultant replacing discovery calls with an application-first flow to reduce low-intent meetings.
  • A premium service launch using VSL to build desire, then applying strict qualification to raise close rates.

FAQ

How long should the VSL be?

Typically 15–45 minutes: long enough to tell a transformation story and present proof, short enough to maintain attention.

What is the ideal number of application questions?

Aim for 5–10 high-impact questions that uncover situation, goals, timeline, budget, and commitment.

What happens to declined applicants?

Send a respectful decline message with helpful resources, an invitation to reapply later, or a lower-ticket offer to stay engaged.
