A steady front end, a sharper back end, and one clear efficiency gap
The promotion roughly matched February on front end volume while concentrating back end demand into higher value tiers. The single biggest lever for next time sits in lead quality, not lead volume.
The funnel is healthy from purchase onward, and leaky before it. Once someone buys the VIP ticket, 82% show up and a meaningful share deposit. The loss happens earlier, in how leads are sourced. Ebook leads make up a large share of volume but convert at roughly half the downstream rate of webinar registration leads, dragging the blended numbers down.

Biggest concerns
Two lead engines feeding one paid challenge
The promotion ran a free value offer at the top, a low cost VIP ticket as the front end, and a tiered high value program as the back end. The objective was back end demand, measured first through deposits.

February versus June, deposits by tier
The lead quality gap that defines this promotion
Two entry points fed the same free webinar: a direct registration page, and the ebook pages where webinar registration came bundled with the download. Same webinar, same OTO offer, very different lead quality. This is the centerpiece finding and the clearest place to act.
Ebook leads versus webinar registration leads
Buyer behavior by source cohort and ebook variant
Geographic and device data were out of scope, so this view profiles the audience through the lens that drives decisions here: intent by acquisition path and by lead magnet.
Ebook variant performance
Intent by cohort
They opt in specifically to attend a live training, show up to the free webinar at 27%, and convert to paid at 18.3%. They self select for the topic and the format.
They opt in for a free download, attend the webinar at just 19.8%, and convert on page at 2.3%. The lead magnet attracts information seekers, not buyers ready to commit.
The path a lead enters through predicts whether they will buy and commit. Optimizing the entry point is higher leverage than optimizing the offer itself.

The replay email sequence as a recovery engine
Two low cost layers did the heavy lifting after the live sessions: a 5 email replay sequence to 33,000 non buyers that added 874 VIP buyers, and a restructured SMS setup that lifted reminder delivery sharply over February.
Replay email performance by send
SMS deliverability, February versus June
Why it happened, and what to do about it
Four findings explain most of the promotion's behavior. Each connects a cause to an action.
Fewer deposits, more value
Deposits fell 27% versus February, yet maximum potential opportunity rose 87%. The mix shifted toward Master and Council.
Ebook pages convert late, not at source
76% of ebook VIP buyers did not buy on the ebook page. They converted live or through replay emails.
Paid buyers commit, free leads drift
VIP buyers show up at 82%. Free feeder show up sits near 25%, and ebook sourced leads at just 19.8%.
Volume and quality are inversely related
The highest volume lead magnet, Ebook 3, is the least efficient at producing deposits. The smallest, Ebook 1, is the best.
Split cold traffic between direct webinar registration and the ebook magnet, then compare deposit rate per lead to size the entry point quality gap. Test a higher priced or two tier front end ticket to strengthen the commitment filter. Add a sixth replay email and an SMS layer to the recovery sequence. Build a Master tier lookalike from this promotion's premium depositors.

The verdict, and the one thing to change
A solid promotion with a single, high leverage fix
The June 2026 5 Day Challenge held its ground on front end volume, improved the quality of its back end demand, and demonstrated a paid funnel that holds committed buyers well once they enter. The mechanics from purchase onward are working.
The defining issue is upstream. Lead quality varies enormously by acquisition path, and the funnel is currently fed by a large volume of low intent ebook leads that convert at roughly half the rate of webinar registration leads. The promotion succeeded in spite of this, by recovering value downstream through live sessions and replay emails. The opportunity is to stop paying that recovery tax by fixing the entry point.
The one thing to change next promotion: treat lead quality at the entry point as the primary lever. Send more cold traffic to direct webinar registration, rebuild the weak ebook OTO page, and rank every lead magnet by deposit per opt in rather than by opt in volume. That focus addresses the biggest leak in the funnel and compounds across every stage below it.
