Your Instagram is getting likes but not clients. I fix that. I build organic lead generation systems for coaches and personal brands. Not by posting more. By rebuilding the positioning, content architecture, and conversion logic that turns attention into booked calls. In the last 24 months my systems have generated $1.2M+ in tracked client revenue. One coaching client went from zero inbound to 60+ qualified DMs a day within 30 days. Another closed £20,000 in high-ticket sales starting from 546 followers. A single strategic post I built generated 2,400 inbound leads and reached 2.8M people organically. I've done this across 40+ high-ticket coaches and creators. The pattern is almost always the same: good content, broken conversion flow. The fix lives in your bio, your CTA structure, and how your content moves people from scroll to message. I work in whatever shape fits the problem. Focused Strategy Sprints when you want a fast diagnostic and a system installed. Ongoing strategic partnership when you want someone in the trenches with you on content, ads, and funnel optimization. Either way, you get the blueprint and the execution logic that turns Instagram into a client acquisition channel. If your content gets engagement but your DMs are quiet, message me. I'll tell you what's broken in the first 5 minutes.
