Sparking Interest: Why are they here?
Why did someone, anyone, sign up for your course? Maybe you were recommended to them by a trusted colleague. Maybe you had some great promo material on IG / FB or LinkedIn. Or maybe they just stumbled across your material and signed up. However there is one thing all of these scenarios have in common, they all have a need they think you might have a solution for.
