- Freemium expert clone embedded at Step 7 in all playbooks
- 3-5 free questions per user tracked in trials table
- Usage tracking capturing questions + AI responses
- Hand-raise triggers operational (30% conversion target)
- Conversion readiness scoring algorithm live
- Automatic transition to Phase 5 Loom generation
Quick Actions
Freemium Expert Clone Embed
Step 7 is optimal placement: user has invested 60-90 minutes in playbook, understands methodology, and is thinking "how do I apply this to MY situation?" The trial answers that question.
User Psychology at Step 7:
- Consumed 6 steps of methodology (high investment)
- Cleared email gate โ qualified and committed
- Context-aware: understands expert's approach
- Ready to execute: thinking about their specific situation
- Natural question point: "How does this apply to me?"
Freemium at Step 7 = demonstrate value AFTER teaching methodology:
- Steps 1-6: "Here's HOW the expert thinks"
- Step 7 Trial: "Try asking the expert YOUR questions"
- Post-Trial: "Want unlimited expert access? 5-min demo"
Question Limits & Paywall
3-5 free questions optimizes for value demonstration without cannibalization. After limit, paywall appears with "Want more? Watch 5-min demo to see how [Expert] AI works".
Too Few (1-2): Not enough to demonstrate value
Just Right (3-5): Show competency, create appetite, maintain scarcity
Too Many (6+): Cannibalize paid offering, reduce conversion urgency
- Don't: Hard sell with urgency ("Limited time offer!")
- Don't: Ask for credit card before demo
- Don't: Use generic "upgrade now" language
- Do: Frame as "see how this works for YOUR situation"
- Do: Use Frankie's Loom model: Show outcome AFTER service
Usage Tracking
Every trial interaction captured for conversion intelligence: questions asked, response quality, time spent, follow-up patterns. This data feeds Phase 5 Loom personalization.
Key Metrics to Track:
- Trial Start Rate: % of Step 7 viewers who start trial
- Questions Per Trial: Average 1-5 questions used
- Time to Paywall: Minutes from start to limit reached
- Hand-Raise Rate: % who click "Watch Demo" at paywall
- Question Patterns: Most common question types
- Response Quality: User ratings (if implemented)
Hand-Raise Triggers
Automatic signals that user is conversion-ready. Three trigger types: limit reached (passive), high engagement (active), explicit request (direct).
Conversion Readiness Scoring
0-100 score predicting likelihood of watching Loom and converting. Combines trial behavior, lead data from Phase 3, and engagement patterns.
Automatic Loom Trigger
Hand-raise detection automatically triggers Phase 5 personalized Loom generation. No manual intervention requiredโsystem detects conversion readiness and delivers demo.
Key Insight: Show outcome AFTER service, not BEFORE
Standard SaaS Demo: "Here's what our product can do" (features)
Frankie's Model: "I analyzed YOUR trial questions, here's the outcome" (results)
- Opens with: "I reviewed your 3 questions about [specific topic]"
- Shows: Actual analysis + recommendations based on THEIR trial
- Proves: AI already delivered value (sunk cost)
- Closes with: "Want more? Here's pricing for unlimited access"
