INSPIRATE webinar 1: $2,286 in Meta ads, 211 parents, 12 booked calls

One live webinar for a college admissions firm, start to finish. The five funnel steps, the number at each one, and the step where it leaked.

Final numbers for INSPIRATE Consulting's webinar 1. About $11 per registrant, and about 44% of registrants showed up live.

The situation

INSPIRATE Consulting is a college admissions firm. They wanted consult calls from parents, and one live webinar to get them.

What we built

The funnel, step by step

  1. Meta ads: $2,286 spent. The hooks that opened with a hard number won.
  2. Opt-in page: 211 parents registered, about $10.83 each.
  3. CRM and reminders: a webhook into email and SMS.
  4. Live session: 93 showed up, about 44%.
  5. Booked calls: 12.

Where it leaked

Steps 1 to 4 did their job. The leak was the step after the webinar: a room full of warm parents, and not enough of them made it onto a consult call.

Why it matters

211 registrants looks like a win on its own. Our guarantee only counts consults held, so that's the number we judge a webinar on.

What we'd do again, and what we changed

The ad engine, unchanged. For webinar 2 we kept the ads and rebuilt everything after the live session:

  1. A booking page with a 4-question application
  2. A bonus that expires 48 hours after the webinar
  3. Replay tracking at 10, 25, 50, 75 and 100%
  4. One value-first email per attendee

Webinar 2's numbers go up next to these when it's done.
