I am going to teach you exactly how you can get your first 5 paying clients on skool in 10 steps.
Struggling to land your first few clients?
Trust me. Forget the complicated strategies.
Just put your faith in this 10 step system to get your first five customers quickly.
You’ve probably seen a million YouTube videos about scaling and growing a business, but must of them make things more confusing than they need tobe.
In this post, I’m breaking everything down.
All of this information is taken from 100 million dollar leads by Alex Hormozi.
Best part?
This is exactly what you can use to build out your skool community and get those initial members excited and engaged.

The first step is to start gathering your existing contacts.
For email, you can start by exporting your entire contact list. (it’s pretty easy)
For social media, I want you to list out everyone you can DM across all platforms from Instagram to LinkedIn.
For phone contacts, literally just export your phone list.
Now, I want you to combine the number.
Now you’ve got more leads than you think!

Focus on one platform at a time.
Right now, I am focusing on YouTube.
I want you to focus on the platform where you have the most connections.
It would be building your email list, maybe it’s instagram or even your phone contacts.

Don’t just blast a generic message.
I need you to take 30 seconds to personalise each one.
I want you to mention something you know about them (a new job, mutual interest, etc).
E.g: “Hey (name), saw you started a new job, congrats! I’m launching something I think you’d love, can I share some more details?”

Consistency is key here.
I want you to set a goal of reaching out to 100 people everyday.
Once you get into the rhythm, it’ll just get easier.
Just start!
Because nothing happens if you don’t.

When they reply, use the ACA framework:
Acknowledge: Mention what they said
Compliment: Add a positive remark
Ask: Lead with a question that ties to what you offer
Example: “You’re amazing! Working full-time and managing two kids—how do you even find time to work out? (Btw, I help busy parents with fitness plans that fit into their crazy schedules.)”

Without being pushy, ask them if they know anyone who could benefit from what you’re offering.
This is just a soft way to let them know what you’re up to, without directly selling.
Example: “Hey, do you know anyone who’s looking to [solve a problem]? I’m opening up a few spots to help people do exactly that.”

Since you’re just starting, offer your service for free in exchange for a testimonial or feedback.
This lowers the barrier, and gets you real world experience (plus more confidence for you)
Tell them: “I’m offering this for free, and all I ask in return is that you use the service, give me feedback, and leave a killer review if you love it.”

Once you’ve contacted everyone, go back and re-engage.
Some people won’t bite the first time, but they will for the second and third time.
Sta consistent!

Once you’ve built some momentum and gotten your free clients some results, then start chagrin.
Begin with a discount rate (70-80% off for the next 5 clients), then gradually raise your price as the demand increases.

Regularly check in with your leads and clients.
Even if they didn’t sign up for the first time, provide them value over time.

This process perfectly fits with building a skool community.
Start by messaging your existing contacts and then inviting them to join your Skool group for free.
Engage with them personally. Offer value upfront. Ask for feedback as you grow your community.
As you start to grow your free community, start to introduce paid offers, challenges, and high ticket mentorships.
Use the feedback that you got from your first few members to refine your skool offer.
