Niches: Driving Schools & Restaurants • Mode: Phone/Zoom • Program: Starter Site + Social 4 Pack
PART I — Foundations
1) Why Discovery Wins (and Pitching Fails)
Owners care about weekly revenue and capacity utilization. Your job: locate the choke point (lead flow, conversion, no-shows, weekday footfall) and present one obvious next step.
- Higher close rates: one pain → one fix → one “yes.”
- Shorter cycles: quantify impact to create urgency.
- Scope control: avoid free-tier customization creep.
- Upsell fuel: today’s notes power 30-day upgrades.
Examples (x3)
Pain: missed calls during lessons → Offer: free one-pager + WhatsApp CTA → Outcome: +5 weekly inquiries → Next: build intake.
Pain: Tue–Wed soft → Offer: Social 4 cadence + promo hub → Outcome: +6 tables/day → Next: 30-day review.
Pain: “post & pray” social → Offer: Social 4 + trackable CTA → Outcome: attribution → Next: discuss SEO/SEM at review.
PART II — The Discovery Stack
2) SPIN (+ TED + 5 Whys)
SPIN
- S—Situation: “How do students/diners find you—Google, Maps, referrals, Instagram?”
- P—Problem: “What’s most frustrating about converting interest to bookings/covers?”
- I—Implication: “If this continues 90 days, what breaks—idle hours/empty tables?”
- N—Need-Payoff: “If we fix that single choke point, what changes first?”
TED Prompts
Use Tell / Explain / Describe to keep them talking: “Tell me about the last inquiry that slipped.”
5 Whys
Ask “why/what causes that” from different angles (3–5 layers) to reach root cause—without pressure.
Examples (x3)
SPIN: S “Mostly Google.” → P “We miss calls.” → I “8 idle hrs/wk.” → N “WhatsApp-first CTA would help.”
TED: “Describe a recent no-show and what you did.”
5 Whys: no online CTA → site dated → no owner time → need template flow.
SPIN: S “Locals + Maps.” → P “Tue–Wed dead.” → I “Waste climbs; cut hours.” → N “Promo cadence fills tables.”
TED: “Tell me about your last promo—what happened after posting?”
5 Whys: no schedule → inconsistent → staff unsure → need ready assets.
SPIN: S “IG DMs.” → P “Leads vanish.” → I “Lost 3 jobs/mo.” → N “Clear CTA + reminders.”
TED: “Explain your follow-up timing.”
5 Whys: no owner → no process → no templates → automate.
3) Paraphrase + Label + Precision Check
- Paraphrase: “So weekdays are inconsistent and posts are occasional…”
- Label: “Sounds like you’re worried about wasted spend/empty tables.”
- Precision: “Did I get that right, or what did I miss?”
Examples (x3)
“So calls land while you’re teaching, and no one can answer—sounds like lost lessons. Did I get that right?”
“So Tue–Wed slump and promos are ad-hoc—sounds like you can’t plan labor. What did I miss?”
“So DMs pile up and replies are late—sounds like leads go cold. Is that accurate?”
PART III — Niche Playbooks
4) Driving Schools — Patterns & Offers
- Missed calls while teaching → Free one-pager + WhatsApp CTA → +5 contacts/wk; fill midday gaps.
- No-shows/cancellations → Automation upgrade (reminders) → higher show-rate; saved instructor hours.
- Invisible on Google/Maps → SEO Local upgrade → rank + calls from Maps.
Examples (x3)
Pain: 3 no-shows/wk → Offer: reminders upgrade → Outcome: +30% show-rate → Next: scope at 30-day review.
Pain: missed calls → Offer: free page + WhatsApp CTA → Outcome: +5 inquiries/wk → Next: intake today.
Pain: competitor outranks → Offer: SEO Local → Outcome: top-3 pack → Next: proposal after 30-day data.
5) Restaurants — Patterns & Offers
- Tue–Wed dead → Social 4 + promo cadence + promo hub (free) → +6 tables/day.
- Weak GBP/reviews → SEO Local + reviews engine (upgrade) → rank + trust.
- Promo impact unclear → Promo hub + trackable CTA → attribution & repeatable wins.
Examples (x3)
Pain: Tue–Wed soft → Offer: Social 4 + hub → Outcome: stable mid-week covers → Next: review in 30 days.
Pain: GBP weak → Offer: SEO Local → Outcome: more calls from Maps → Next: quote after baseline.
Pain: no tracking → Offer: trackable CTA/QR → Outcome: see which posts fill tables → Next: iterate promo.
PART IV — Mapping & Talk Tracks
6) MEC Grid: Pain → Offer → Outcome
Rule: one dominant pain → one offer → one outcome → one next step.
Pain: missed calls → Offer: free one-pager + WhatsApp CTA → Outcome: +5 inquiries/wk → Next: start build today.
Pain: Tue–Wed soft → Offer: Social 4 + promo hub → Outcome: +6 tables/day → Next: 30-day review.
Pain: “post & pray” → Offer: Social 4 + trackable CTA → Outcome: attribution → Next: propose SEO/SEM.
7) Value Summary (3-Step) — Klaric Cues
“Here’s the shortest path: (1) Launch a one-pager with a clear CTA (certainty: draft in 7 days), (2) Publish 4 ready-to-use posts monthly (effort saving), (3) Review numbers in 30 days to decide on SEO/SEM/Reminders (specificity/proof). Would that help with this pain?”
Examples (x3)
“WhatsApp-first page → Social 4 → check show-rate → add reminders only if needed.”
“Promo hub + Social 4 → track QR scans → layer Local SEO if consistent.”
“Free page → monthly assets → choose SEM (speed) vs SEO (compound) at 30 days.”
8) Scope Guardrails (Free Tier)
- IN: template one-pager; brand colors, logo, headlines, CTA, contacts; 4 generic assets; 7-day typo/link fixes.
- OUT: custom sections, integrations, multi-page, long-form copy, posting/community management.
- Zoom-before-build: protects scope, improves show rate.
Examples (x3)
- “Add online booking now?” → Out of free scope; park for 30-day review.
- “Custom video posts?” → Out of free scope; keep Social 4; consider add-on later.
- “Extra sections?” → Out of free scope; keep template fast; propose upgrade if needed.
PART V — Live Delivery
9) 8-Minute Discovery Script (Phone/Zoom)
- Permission (0:20): “Okay to take 8 minutes to map your situation and a 3-step plan?”
- SPIN (5:00): S → P → I (quantify 1 number) → N.
- Paraphrase/Label/Precision (1:00): “So ___; sounds like ___; did I get that right?”
- Value Summary (1:00): 3-step Klaric talk track.
- Close (0:40): “If that helps, we start the free build today; 10-min intake; draft in 7 days.”
Examples (x3)
“8 idle hrs/wk → WhatsApp CTA now → review reminders at day 30.”
“Tue–Wed soft → Social 4 + hub → QR tracking proves lift.”
“DM leaks → phone-CTA page → decide SEM vs SEO after baseline.”
10) Holding Scope (Friendly “No”)
“To keep it free and fast, we personalize the template (colors/logo/headlines/CTA/contacts). If after 30 days data shows you need [X], we’ll scope it properly.”
Examples (x3)
- “We need multi-page.” → Free tier is one-pager; upgrade post-data.
- “We want integrations now.” → Keep first win small; revisit in review.
- “We want heavy copywriting.” → Free tier adjusts headlines only; copy add-on is paid.
PART VI — Practice & Scoring
11) Roleplays (10-minute cycles)
- RP-A (Driving): missed calls → WhatsApp CTA; quantify idle hours; close free build.
- RP-B (Restaurant): slow Tue–Wed → Social 4 + hub; quantify empty tables; close free build.
- RP-C (Driving): no-shows → diagnose timing/content; start free page; tag reminders.
- RP-D (Restaurant): weak GBP → cadence now; tag SEO Local for review.
Examples (x3)
- “Reminders didn’t work.” → ask why (timing/message); page first; test variant later.
- “We post daily.” → show no attribution; add trackable CTA; measure.
- “Staff can’t handle complex flows.” → keep CTA simple; train one action.
12) QA Scorecard (100 pts)
- S/P/I/N + one quant (25), TED/5 Whys (10), Paraphrase/Label/Precision (10), Pain→Offer→Outcome (15), Value Summary (10), Scope control (10), Close next step (5), Notes completeness (10), Opening/Agenda (5).
Examples (x3)
- 85/100 pass: one quant clear; scope held; next step booked.
- 72/100 re-coach: no quant; suggested two offers; fix with MEC.
- 95/100 star: crisp SPIN; strong Klaric cues; perfect notes.
