Career coaching has a distinctive shape: short-window engagements (3–6 months typical), high-stakes outcomes (a real job change), and a powerful alumni network that most coaches barely tap.
The snapshot’s career-coaching configuration is built around that shape — application-gated discovery, transition-package billing, structured deliverables (resume, LinkedIn audit, interview prep), and a post-placement check-in flow that turns alumni into referral sources.
What changes when you install it
Application form sorts by career level. Entry-level, mid-career, and executive applicants get routed differently — your $4,500 executive transition package isn’t pitched to an entry-level applicant, and your group cohort isn’t pitched to a Fortune 100 VP. The scoring rule does the routing automatically.
Transition-package billing with milestone payments. The Stripe integration supports up-front, deposit-plus-balance, and milestone-based billing (deposit, mid-engagement, post-placement). Failed-payment recovery runs on each milestone independently.
Deliverable cadence inside the client portal. Resume drafts, LinkedIn audits, interview prep notes — all packaged inside the branded client portal so clients aren’t digging through email threads asking “where’s that doc?”
Post-placement nurture (30/90/180 days). When you mark a client as placed, the system fires three check-in touches over six months. At the 90-day mark, it asks for a testimonial and a referral. At the 180-day mark, it asks if there’s a friend or colleague who could use the same help.
Alumni database that doesn’t go stale. Past clients get a quarterly “where are you now” touch that pulls them back into your funnel for a second engagement (career changes happen every 3–4 years on average).
What career coaches typically pair this with
- Resume / LinkedIn audit tools — Jobscan, Resume Worded, etc., embeddable inside the portal
- Interview prep platforms — Big Interview, Pramp, embedded into deliverable workflow
- CRM for job-search tracking — Huntr, JibberJobber, sometimes Notion templates we ship
- Assessment tools — Hogan, Birkman, CliftonStrengths, depending on your methodology
All of these get wired during your 10 dedicated configuration hours.
What this looks like over a year
Career coaches typically see:
- 2–3× lift in qualified discovery calls (application gating)
- 70–80% close rate on application-qualified calls (vs. ~25% on un-qualified open calendar)
- 35–45% of placed clients return for a second engagement within 36 months
- 2–4 referrals per placed client over 18 months from the post-placement nurture
The alumni-to-referral ratio is the surprise. Most career coaches don’t believe past clients will refer them — until they see the structured ask actually go out.
