Chris Dufey Podcast

Work with me: I've built hundreds of funnels. I've spent millions on ads. This one converts better than all of them. $282,000 in monthly revenue on $10,000 ad spend. 28.2X ROAS. From cold strangers clicking ads to closed $6,000 deals. This is a complete breakdown of the 5-engine system that produces these results with real client numbers, real metrics, and nothing held back. The 5 Engines:  → Engine 1: The Offer Engine — how we positioned a $6K offer to feel like a no-brainer → Engine 2: The Ad Engine — $10K/month spend, 1.9% CTR, $4.80 CPC, 2,080 visitors → Engine 3: The...

Work with me: https://jointherainmakers.com/choosetime?utm_src=organicyoutube $240K in extra profit. From one conversation. Here's what we fixed: He was attracting the wrong clients. His messaging said "get your first $10K" so he got beginners. We flipped it. His offer was buried. We rebuilt it so the right people see it and say "I'd be stupid not to buy this." He was giving too much access. We set boundaries that actually scale. This is a full coaching call. Uncut. You'll hear exactly how we diagnosed the problem and what we changed.

AI is killing your coaching business. Not because you're not using it. Because you're using it the same way everyone else is, and it's making you invisible. n this video, I'm breaking down the 3 biggest mistakes coaches make with AI that are costing them clients, killing their conversions, and turning their marketing into generic noise. And I'm showing you exactly how to fix it. Most coaches think they're ahead because they're using ChatGPT to create content. They're posting more. They're "automating." They feel productive. But productive and profitable are not the same thing. And while you're churning out AI-generated posts that sound like everyone else, coaches who understand how to use AI strategically are taking your clients. Here's what you're getting in this video: Why AI-generated content is making you invisible (and what to do instead) The 3 AI mistakes that are costing you thousands per month in invisible losses How to use AI to sharpen your positioning instead of just producing more content The hierarchy of what to automate first (most coaches have this backwards) Why ChatGPT is not your business partner and what to use instead The difference between generic AI tools and purpose-built AI systems for coaching businesses How the coaches pulling away from the pack are using AI right now I've audited over 100 coaching businesses in the last 3 months. The pattern is clear: coaches who adopted AI early thought they were ahead, and now their content gets ignored, their funnels convert worse, and their sales calls have dried up. It's not an AI problem. It's a strategy problem. The coaches winning right now aren't the ones with the flashiest AI setup. They're the ones who automated the boring, high-leverage stuff that directly touches revenue. Speed to lead. Sales prep. Delivery admin. The things that actually make money. I'm Chris Dufey, founder of The Rainmakers. We build full marketing ecosystems for coaches and consultants. I've built and sold a multi-7-figure coaching business, been behind the scenes of 7, 8, and 9-figure online businesses, and right now we're deep in the trenches building AI-powered systems that actually move the needle. I started sleeping on a couch with my baby daughter, wondering how I'd make rent. Built my first business to multi-7-figures, sold it, then spent years getting paid $25K/month retainers to fix some of the biggest info-businesses on the planet. Scaled my consulting offer to $1M/year in 63 days. Launched an agency, took it to $200K/month in under 90 days, then burned it all down because "bigger" doesn't always mean "better." Now I live between Bali and Australia with my four daughters, work 2-4 hours a day, and help coaches install the systems that gave me my freedom back. The window where "using AI" is enough is closing fast. The question isn't whether you're using it. It's whether you're using it in a way that makes you uncopyable.
