Had them review a DM conversation and this was the review - I love where it pulled out where I missed the frame, however I am not a fan of "on a scale of 1-10 where are you at".. that always throws me off personally especially with the work I do. It didnt quite understand my dry humor gif and text that was sent out…but all good. I use it as a pattern interupt. (for me a soft bump, can tend to be easily ignored, but I guess it just depends on the person) I liked where is showed me where I missed a client proof. (it's always interesting where you drop the ball without realizing) Obiviously I should of just dropped a zoom link but I was thinking regarding the VSL for case studies and wanting them to watch that but I guess the truth is not everyone is going to watch those- I think it is just going to take me a little getting used to and how I can better utilize for my work flow. Stage Identification You made it all the way through Assess → Frame → Invite and got a verbal yes to book. Solid work. You're now in the Post-Invite Follow-Up stage — specifically, you're chasing a booking that never landed. --- Flow Diagnostics Here's what went well and what needs tightening: What went well: Your opener was a clean binary "this or that" — textbook ECAFI™ Engage You transitioned into Assess naturally and uncovered real pain (over-internalizing, worry, drinking to cope) You got the A–B Gap: he knows he's the problem, wants less stress, more freedom The invite was smooth — offered value either way ("free resource") Where momentum was lost: The "Are you mute for the holidays" message — risky. Could've felt pushy. He didn't respond to your opener, so a softer bump would've landed better. You stayed little long without a strong Frame. You gave one light reframe ("it's just a pattern… nervous system dysregulated") but never dropped a client story or proof. No authority anchor before the invite. When he said "I would be open to that" — that was your golden moment. Instead of dropping the link immediately, you should've done a commitment test first.
