“FREE Live Training Reveals The Weird (Almost Backwards) Way To Turn More Of Your Leads Into High-Ticket Clients, Built To Get You To 10+ A Month… Without Hiring A Marketing Team, Writing Prompts Or Learning Any Tech!”

This week you spent $853 and got 20 leads, which works out to $42.65 a lead. Your target is $40, so you're a little over. Almost all of that gap comes from one ad.

Pause (needs your yes)

•Carousel: 5 hiring mistakes. It spent $120 in the last 3 days and got no leads. That's the pause limit (3 × your $40 target). Over 7 days it spent $279 for 1 lead. It isn't one of this week's proven performers, so the rule that protects good ads from being paused doesn't apply. Pausing it saves about $40 a day.

Watching

•Static: 'can't find staff', retarget. It's at $45 a lead over the last 3 days and $41.80 over 7 days (5 leads). That's just over target, so leave it alone for now.

Healthy

•Video: clinic owner story, broad AU. It's your best ad: 13 leads at $26.69 each. It isn't ready for more budget yet. The rule wants it at or under target for 3 days running with 10+ leads in that time.

Too new to judge

•Reel test: day in the clinic. It's only 39 hours old and has 1 lead for $18. Meta needs 48 hours to learn before it's worth judging.

Without the carousel, the other three ads got 19 leads for $574, or about $30 a lead.

Should I pause the carousel? Reply "yes, pause it" and I'll do it. The change gets logged with an undo command so you can reverse it.

Out of 12 contacts, 7 need follow-up this week and 3 more need you to check something first. I've written all the messages but sent nothing. They're saved in follow-up/this-week-2026-10-19.md.

New leads nobody has contacted yet (send Monday):

Gone quiet (send Tuesday):

Worth getting back in touch with (send Wednesday):

Check these first: Noel Fitz (14 Oct), Mia Lopez (15 Oct) and Hannah Lee (16 Oct) still say "Call booked", but those call dates have passed. Either the calls happened and the sheet wasn't updated, or they didn't show. I wrote a short, no-guilt rebooking email for anyone who missed. Tell me which it was.

Left out on purpose: Aisha Khan became a client yesterday, so she needs onboarding, not follow-up. Omar Haddad was last contacted 4 days ago, so he isn't quiet yet. Check on him from 21 Oct.

Week of 12 to 18 Oct 2026 (Harbourline Coaching, demo)

New clients 1 · Booked calls 4 · Spent $853 · Leads 20 ($42.65 each, target $40)

Revenue: not connected. No payments are linked and contacts.csv has no deal values.

What worked

•"Video: clinic owner story" brought in 13 of the 20 leads at $26.69 each, well under target. Each person has seen it 1.6 times on average, so it isn't worn out yet.

•4 calls were booked: Aisha Khan, Noel Fitz, Mia Lopez and Hannah Lee. Aisha became a client on 17 Oct.

What didn't

•"Carousel: 5 hiring mistakes" cost $279 for 1 lead. It spent $120 in the last 3 days and got no leads. Both ad checks tonight flagged it, but it's still running: auto-pause is off and you haven't said yes.

•"Static: can't find staff" is just over target at $41.80 a lead. I'm keeping an eye on it.

•3 new leads have never been contacted: Leo Park (waiting 8 days), Sarah Nguyen (5) and Tom Reid (2). James Walker hasn't heard from us in the 12 days since his call.

•The numbers don't match. Meta counts 20 leads, but only 4 people were added to contacts.csv this week. Either leads aren't reaching the spreadsheet or the export is out of date.

What the system did for you

•Checked the ads twice tonight.

•Drafted Monday's follow-up emails. They're waiting for your yes and nothing has been sent.

•Paused, launched and changed nothing. There's no action log yet.

Next week, I recommend (yes or no to each)

1.Pause the carousel now. That saves about $40 a day.

2.Approve the follow-up drafts so Leo, Sarah and Tom hear from us at 8am Monday.

3.Find out why only 4 of the 20 Meta leads reached contacts.csv before adding any budget.
