Your offer isn’t weak — it’s just in the wrong cup


I’ll admit it…

I’m a bit of a coffee snob.

I’ve worked from enough cafés around the world to know the difference between a flat white made with love…

…and one made by a machine with buttons instead of a barista.

But this isn’t about coffee (well… not exactly).

It’s about how perception shapes value — and how I learned that lesson in the most unexpected way.

Here’s the story:

I once had a double espresso in Melbourne (the coffee capital of the world in my humble opinion).

Same beans I’d tasted the day before.

But this time it was served in a small, heavy ceramic cup — thick-walled, matte black, beautifully made.

It felt premium before I even took a sip.

The shot was the same.

But I swear it tasted better.

Why?

Because the container changed the experience.

Same coffee. Different cup. Different perception.

This is exactly what’s happening with your offer.

Your skills are the espresso shot.

Your positioning is the cup it’s served in.

Most fitness pros spend years learning, coaching, investing in courses and certifications…

…but then package their brilliance as “4 PT sessions a month” or “Get fit with me for $50.”

And they wonder why they get ghosted.

They’re offering high-quality espresso — in a paper cup.

The problem isn’t your skills. It’s how they’re presented.

A 4-week “fat loss challenge” sounds like a class.

A “Freedom Body Reset for Men 40+ who hate gyms” sounds like a solution.

Same trainer. Same expertise. Totally different vibe.

When I started helping fit pros reposition their offers using simple tweaks to messaging and packaging…

Everything changed.

✅ They finally felt confident raising prices.

✅ Prospects started seeing the transformation, not just the sessions.

✅ And sales felt less like pushing and more like inviting.

Here’s the truth:

You don’t need more letters after your name.

You need a better cup.

If you want help crafting your version of the “espresso shot in a premium cup” — and finally charge what you’re worth — reply with "COFFEE" and I’ll send you the details before the next group opens up.

Let’s make sure the world experiences your offer the way it deserves to be experienced.

“I don’t have time.” It’s the excuse clients use to skip workouts. And it’s the excuse coaches use to dodge marketing. But let’s be real: it’s not about time. It’s about systems. If a client tells you they don’t have time to train, you don’t shrug and say “fair enough.” You give them a plan that fits — short, efficient, effective. Marketing works the same way. Without a system, it feels like an extra job. With the right system, it runs in the background — booking consults while you coach....

Last week, I watched a coffee shop meltdown. One barista looked like they were auditioning for Fawlty Towers: milk everywhere, orders forgotten, customers giving death stares. Chaos. The other? Zen master. Calm. Measured. Every move part of a system. Guess which one got the tips? Guess which line moved faster Here’s the truth: most fit pros run their business like Barista #1. Hustling. Forgetting follow-ups. Scrambling to post. Always playing catch-up. But the ones who build systems? They’re...
