The Teacup Game → new client
One small, thoughtful touch with a client turned into a surprise referral (and why systems like this matter). Plus: it’s the final week to join PRO$PER — doors close soon and you could have a ready-to-sell nutrition offer in 90 days.

Kind Nerd Note: One small touch + a teacup coaching game turned into a client referral.
Tip #1:
The Little Detail that Landed Me a New Client
One of my nutrition clients mentioned a knee surgery coming up. I made a quick note in my calendar and, the day before, this simple email went out:
“Hi Rasa, just a quick note to say I’m thinking about you and wishing you good luck with your knee surgery tomorrow. Remember the teacup exercise we covered… here’s my own cup from right before my cancer surgery. Life will shake you, but whatever you’ve filled your cup with is what spills out.”
She wrote back saying it made her entire day.
And here’s the kicker: while recovering, she told her nurse about the teacup exercise → and that nurse asked for my info and turned into a new client.
One small, thoughtful detail (and a fun nutrition coaching game) turned into a word-of-mouth referral!
This is the kind of thing PRO$PER nutrition grads learn to systematize. Surprise-and-delight isn’t random — it’s something you can bake right into your coaching business. Plus, injecting some new and memorable coaching exercises is what sets you apart from the crowd.
