We also offer payment plans — [monthly amount] per month for [number] months. Does that make it more manageable?"
Script 5.2: "I Do Not Have Time"

Our program requires [X] hours per week of live instruction plus [Y] minutes daily of app practice. Most of our students fit the app practice into their commute or lunch break.
[Share specific example]: Sarah is a [similar role] with two kids. She does her practice during her morning commute and blocks [day/time] for the live sessions. If she can do it, you can too.
What does your typical week look like? Let us find the windows together."
Script 5.3: "I Tried Before and Failed"
"You are not alone. Most adults have had frustrating language learning experiences. But here is what I want you to understand: The problem was not you — it was the method.
Traditional classes teach grammar rules and vocabulary lists. Our approach teaches communication. We immerse you in real-world scenarios from day one. You are speaking [language] in your very first session.
[Reference their trial]: Think about your trial lesson. In 30 minutes, you went from [before] to [after]. That is the method working. Imagine 12 weeks of that.
Plus, you are protected by our [guarantee name]. Complete the program and if you do not [specific outcome], we [guarantee terms].
The only way to fail is to not try again with the right approach."
Script 5.4: "I Need to Think About It / Talk to My Spouse"
"Absolutely. This is an important decision, and I want you to feel completely confident.
What specific aspects do you need to think through? [Listen]
I will send you our program guide and a testimonial from [similar student] that you can share with [spouse/partner]. I am also happy to jump on a quick call with both of you if that would help.
I do want to mention: Our [date] cohort has [X] seats remaining, and I have [Y] other people considering that start date. I cannot hold your spot indefinitely, but I will reserve it until [specific date].
Can we check in on [day]? I will answer any questions that come up."
Script 5.5: "I Want to Compare Options"
"I encourage you to compare. Here are the three things I recommend you evaluate at any school:
Outcome proof: Ask for specific data — what percentage of students achieve [target proficiency]? We track and publish ours.
Instructor quality: Ask about instructor qualifications and training. Our instructors are [credentials].
Support between sessions: Most schools teach for 90 minutes a week and disappear. We provide daily practice through our app, conversation clubs, and instructor check-ins.
Make sure you ask about those three things everywhere you look. When do you think you will complete your comparison? I will follow up [timeline] to see if you have questions."

Email 3 (Day 4): Educational Content
Subject: The #1 Mistake [Language] Learners Make
Hi [Name],
After training [number] students, I have noticed one mistake that holds almost everyone back:
Trying to achieve perfect grammar before speaking.
It sounds logical, but it is completely backwards. Children do not learn grammar rules before they speak — they speak first and refine later. Adults should do the same.
Our method flips the traditional approach. You start speaking from day one, in real-world scenarios. Grammar comes naturally as you need it, not as abstract rules memorized from a textbook.
The result? Confidence and practical ability in weeks, not years.
