In this episode of Natural Born Coaches, Marc interviews Ian Gatzky, the founder of Implement AI, to discuss how AI helps coaches improve client engagement and completion rates in their programs.
What You’ll Hear In This Episode: - The brutal truth about course completion: Only 4% of people who purchase an online course actually finish it … a staggering problem that affects client results, testimonials, and your business growth. - What companion GPTs actually are: Custom AI models trained on your coaching content that guide clients through doing the work in your programs … - Real business impact: How one of Ian’s clients condensed her 12-week program down to 8 weeks using companion GPTs, allowing her to run 6 cohorts per year instead of 4 - adding $60K in annual revenue. - What AI should NOT be doing: Ian draws a clear line - don't give AI decision-making power for things like pricing, discounts, or critical business decisions. That's not what these tools are for. - The ripple effect of completion: Higher completion rates lead to better testimonials, happier clients, repeat business, referrals, and customers who are more likely to buy your next program. - Why coaches need this: Every coach Ian's worked with got into coaching to help people - but you can't help people if they don't do the work. Companion GPTs bridge that execution gap! LINKS Register for Ian’s live workshop on Wednesday, March 11th at 2 pm EST: http://www.naturalborncoaches.com/dothework
