You’re on a call.
You’ve uncovered the pain.
You’ve shown a path forward.
You’ve even got them nodding, maybe even a little excited.

Then it happens.

You say, “So… what do you think?”

And just like that, the energy drops. They pause. They hesitate. And they say the most dreaded phrase in coaching sales:

“I just need to think about it.”

But here’s the thing: the problem wasn’t the coaching… it was the question.

If you want to close more clients without sounding salesy, there’s one line that shifts the entire conversation:

“Would you like help implementing this?”

Let’s break down why this works—and how to use it properly.

The Psychology of Indecision

When you ask someone what they think, you trigger their analytical brain.
That part of the brain loves to:

• Weigh options
  
  

• Delay decisions
  
  

• Avoid risk
  
  

That’s why open-ended wrap-up questions—like “What are your thoughts?”—usually lead to delays. They invite overthinking instead of action.

On the flip side, when you offer support instead of pitching a program, you make the decision safer, easier, and more personal.

Why “Would You Like Help Implementing This?” Works So Well

This one line flips the entire frame of the conversation.

It says:

• “You’ve got a clear path now.”
  
  

• “You don’t have to figure this out alone.”
  
  

• “We can do this together.”
  
  

It’s not a sales pitch—it’s a coaching invitation.

And psychologically, it places you as the trusted guide who’s already in motion with them. You’re not offering a program. You’re offering help.

That small distinction changes everything.

How to Make This Question Land

Here’s how to set yourself up so that line feels natural—not scripted:

1. Lead With Discovery

Start by deeply understanding their goals, struggles, and what’s not working. Don’t rush this part—it builds trust.

2. Diagnose the Problem

Help them see the root issues behind their surface-level frustrations.
Example: It’s not just about more leads—it’s that they’re not converting the ones they have.

3. Outline the Path

Sketch a few specific steps they could take to get results. Make sure they see the value of a strategy—before you offer coaching.

Then ask:

“Would you like help implementing this?”

It’s smooth. Supportive. And highly effective.

Want to Make It Even More Powerful?

If you want to stack the odds in your favor, pair this question with a live, data-driven consultation.

That’s where the real magic happens—because you’re not just offering to help, you’re showing them exactly what that help looks like in dollars and cents.

The Shortcut: Profit Acceleration Software™

This is the tool I use to make every consultation structured, visual, and ROI-focused.

Karl built it to help coaches like you turn conversations into conversions—with real numbers, real projections, and a custom roadmap.

Here’s what it does:

• Walks you through a consult that uncovers financial gaps
  
  

• Runs real-time ROI projections based on their numbers
  
  

• Automatically builds a 12-month profit roadmap
  
  

• Ends with a natural moment to ask:
  
  

“Would you like help implementing this?”

It’s the smoothest, most professional close you’ll ever deliver—because the prospect sees the path, the numbers, and the value before they ever say yes.

Why This Works

You’re not pushing. You’re not pitching.

You’re presenting a solution and offering support—with data to back it up.

This builds confidence, lowers resistance, and leads to more natural, high-converting “yes” moments.

Final Thoughts

Most coaches lose clients in the final five minutes of the call—not because they said the wrong thing, but because they didn’t ask the right question.

“Would you like help implementing this?” is simple. It’s clear. And when used in the right context, it turns hesitation into action.
