Common mistakes online coaches make – and how to fix them
If you’re responsible for generating your own leads for your classes, you may be losing leads simply because there are so many tasks for you to complete in a day.
So even though you may be generating leads through Facebook Lead Ads, TikTok Lead Generation, or Google Forms, you may not be reaching out to those leads until you have a chance. This can mean the end of the day, the end of the week – or maybe, sometimes you forget altogether because of all the other things you have to do!
Ideally, contact potential students within 10-15 minutes of them submitting interest – or you may lose them.
Once you check on those leads, you likely have to download them. Then, perhaps you’re transferring them to your phonebook or another database to contact them. This takes a lot of time – time when your leads can lose interest altogether.
Ideally, you’re contacting potential students much faster – within 10-15 minutes of them submitting interest. So how do you speed things up?
How to increase online course sign-ups on-the-go 🏃
The good news is that there’s a faster, easier way to generate leads and contact them quickly – all without leaving your phone. 📱
Consider the number of online and offline spaces you visit during a typical workday – such as WhatsApp groups, message boards, and in-person conventions or student recruitment events. You may also have a lot of physical material to share about properties and your real estate services – flyers, brochures, and more. These are all opportunities to collect leads!
It’s quick and easy to capture leads at all of these events by using Privyr Lead Forms. You can create a Privyr Lead Form in under a minute. Then, share it with all of these channels you visit every day, to start generating more leads in no time.
How Privyr Lead Forms work
You can use these lead forms to quickly capture the information you need from your potential students, and automatically send their details to your mobile device. You’ll even get an instant alert the moment they submit their contact details.
Then, in just a few taps, you can quickly send them a template message you’ve created to follow up on their interest via WhatsApp, iMessage, email, and more. Your leads’ details will be stored within your Privyr CRM, and from there, you can easily contact them as needed.
You can create Privyr Lead Forms as long as you have a Privyr account. So, if you already use Privyr, you already have Privyr Lead Forms!

How to increase online course sign-ups by sharing your lead generation form
Every Privyr Lead Form comes with its own unique link and QR code. When a prospect clicks the link or scans the QR code, they’ll see your form like below.
Then, they can fill out their details quickly and easily.
Where do I share my lead form?
If you need some inspiration, here are our top tips for sharing your Privyr Lead Form:
- Put the QR code on your flyers, brochures, and other physical marketing materials. This way, leads scanning your materials will go directly to the lead form. When they have filled out the form, you’ll not only be able to contact them quickly but also will have their details stored in your Privyr account for future follow-ups. You’ll even receive automatic follow-up reminders from Privyr.
- Post the link on your website and in your social media posts or profiles (including that link in your bio). This helps you quickly and easily capture leads from your existing audience and send them directly to your Privyr account on your phone.
- Print out your QR code and keep a screenshot in your phone’s photos, where you can easily access it. This way, the next time you’re at a convention or simply run into a prospective customer on-the-go, you’re ready and able to engage their interest and more quickly get them connected to your course offerings.

How to increase online course sign-ups with superstar intro and follow-up messages
So, you’ve set up your Privyr Lead Form and have started to see leads coming in. Congratulations! 🎉 Now, it’s important to remember to reach out to them quickly – ideally within 10-15 minutes – of them submitting their details to hold their interest.
Many prospective students need multiple follow-up messages before they enrol.
But the journey doesn’t stop there! A crucial part of how to increase online course sign-ups is regular follow-ups.
Most leads don’t convert after your initial outreach message. That means that many prospective students will need multiple follow-up messages before they decide to enrol.
To help, the Privyr app makes it easy to send template intro and follow-up messages via WhatsApp, iMessage, email, and more. You can even schedule follow-up reminders so that you don’t leave your lead in silence for too long.
Additionally, Privyr will auto-personalise the message with your student’s name, so all you have to do is tap and send. 👆✨
