✨ Executive Summary
You want three things in the next 3–6 months: (1) more inbound deal flow for the agency, (2) direct revenue from a course, and (3) a genuinely valuable product your market loves. We’ll design the Big Idea & Strategy, build the Course + Funnel, and manage 30 days of ads to validate fast.
Two launch tracks fit your goals:
Flagship Build (Recommended) – full video-based course, premium funnel, automation, and creative: $25,000 + ad spend. Lean Launch – text-first “ship fast, validate” version you can later upgrade: $10,000 + ad spend (credit the full $10k toward Flagship if you upgrade—pay the $15k difference). We’ll aim for a self-liquidating front end (ad spend covered by sales) within the first 14–30 days, then use the audience to upsell agency retainers and/or scale course revenue.
🎯 Client’s Stated Goals
Add +$50k/month to reach $100k/month within ~12 months. Increase visibility & inbound (qualified sales conversations). Generate direct course revenue while proving authority. Capture TikTok Shop momentum before the market consolidates. Keep your time focused on expertise, not tech/ops. 🛠 Scope & Deliverables (3 Phases)
1) 🔭 Strategy & Big Idea (Week 1)
Market scan (TikTok Shop, adjacent offers, pricing, angles). Positioning & Offer Architecture (price tier, promise, proof, risk reversal). Big Idea naming + messaging pillars. Go-to-Market plan (ad channels, budget, KPIs, high-ticket vs. low-ticket flow). 2) 🧱 Build (Weeks 2–5 for Flagship; 1–2 weeks for Lean)
Course
Course platform setup (GoHighLevel sub-account—no per-student fees). Lesson plans & word-for-word scripts for video modules. Up to 7 hours of video editing for course content. Interactive workbook to boost completion. Text-first course delivery on our lightweight stack (video placeholders allowed). Lesson outlines & copy (no video editing included). Upgrade anytime (pay the $15k difference). Funnel
Flagship: Full funnel incl. sales page, checkout, 2 upsells + 1 downsell, and automated email sequences (nurture, abandonment, onboarding). Lean: Landing + checkout (clean, conversion-focused). No email automations at this tier. Creative
Ad concepting & UGC-style scripts (you film key bits; we handle ad editing). Option to include selective AIGC/UGC variations for rapid testing. Flagship: Optional VSL—we script; you film; we edit. (We often launch without a VSL first, then add one after initial learnings.) 3) 📣 Launch & Ads Management (30 Days)
Campaign setup, daily optimization, budget pacing. Creative iteration (new hooks, angles, thumbnails) based on early data. Weekly review with clear actions; dashboard with KPIs (CPA, ROAS, CTR, CVR). 🌐 Tech & Hosting
Primary: GoHighLevel agency sub-account (included; no per-member fee ceilings). Alternative (Lean): our lightweight course/funnel framework for speed. Ownership: You own all copy, content, domains, and creative. We host/manage; you can export anytime. 🤝 Support & Communication
Private Slack channel with your team + ours. Turnaround: 24–48h on minor edits; weekly ship cycles for larger items. Cadence: Weekly strategy/metrics call during build & 30-day launch. Shared task board (Notion/Jira) for full transparency. 📆 Timeline
Week 1: Strategy & Big Idea workshop; offer, pricing, funnel map. Weeks 2–5 (Flagship): Course filming & edits, funnel build, emails, upsells. Weeks 1–2 (Lean): Text-first course + lean funnel live fast. Week 6: Launch ads; daily optimizations (30-day window). If filming stretches, we launch with text-first + placeholders, then roll in video modules as delivered.

Either: $3,000/month retainer (ads mgmt, new creatives, CRO, quarterly content drops) Or: Profit Share (typ. 25% of profit = revenue − ad spend) when performance is dialed—keeps incentives aligned. 📈 ROI & KPI Targets
Phase 1 (first 14–30 days): Goal: Self-liquidating or 1.2–1.8x ROAS on front-end. Metrics: CPA on course purchase and/or cost per qualified call (if high-ticket flow). Scale winners; add VSL if needed; introduce upsells/downsells (Flagship) to lift LTV. Drive agency ascension (explicit CTAs inside curriculum + post-purchase email). 12-month outcome: Blend of course MRR + agency retainers to reach +$50k/mo increment. We’ll reference relevant comparables (e.g., <$1k offers at $197–$297 vs. mentorship-style $1.5k–$2k+) to choose price/flow aligned with your audience and acquisition economics.
🛡️ Risk Reversals
Strategy Fit Guarantee: If after Strategy Week you feel the direction is misaligned, we’ll refund your build fee minus research time and hand over the findings. Offer Re-Haul Guarantee: If we don’t achieve positive ROAS in the first 14 days of spend (with agreed daily budget and assets delivered on time), we’ll rebuild the front-end offer & creatives at no extra fee and relaunch once. ✅ Next Steps
Choose a track: Flagship ($25k) or Lean ($10k). Payment option: Pay-in-Full (save 10%) or Split. Kickoff: Book Strategy Week; we open Slack + asset checklist. Build → Launch: We ship on the timeline above; you focus on expertise & filming (Flagship). 🙋 FAQ Quick Hits
Who owns everything? You do—content, domains, creative, data. Ad spend included? No—kept separate so every dollar is traceable. Start $50–$100/day. High ticket (e.g., $1.5k–$2k): book-a-call funnel; strong for agency ascension. Low ticket (e.g., $197–$297): volume + self-liquidation; add upsells to lift AOV. Can we start Lean then go Flagship? Yes—pay the $15k difference later. Email/SMS automations? Included in Flagship; can add to Lean as an upgrade. What if we want steady help after launch? Pick $3k/mo retainer or 25% profit share. Filming burden? We script; you batch-film. We handle editing (Flagship) and all post. Will this help agency deal flow? Yes—explicit agency CTAs in course + post-purchase email, retargeting creative, and qualification in funnel. 🎉 Recommendation
Given your authority goals, desire for a premium asset, and need to fuel agency ascension, we recommend Option A: Flagship Build with Split Payments and a $3k month-one ad budget. We’ll launch without a VSL initially (faster testing), then add a VSL once messaging is proven.
If you want to loop in your cofounder, I can tailor the funnel map (high-ticket vs. $297 path) and draft the first 5 ad angles so you can see how the positioning lands. Ready to lock Strategy Week?
