Is the Lean With Plants Call a Sales Call? What the Call Is Really Like
A 45-minute Zoom with someone from our team, all about you. What happens, how the investment comes up, and how to get the most out of it.
Yes, and here is why that is a good thing. Lean With Plants is a 12-week one-on-one plant-based weight loss coaching program for women founded by Chelsea Mae Cullen, and the call is a 45-minute Zoom with someone from our team. It is all about you: where you are today, what has kept you stuck, and whether coaching is the right fit. It is also where the investment is discussed. By the end, you are clear on who we are, we are clear on who you are, and if it is a fit, you can get started straight away.
That is the short answer. The rest of this article walks through the call from start to finish, so you know exactly what to expect before you join the Zoom.
Why we are upfront about it
Our clients work with us to get out of the dieting cycle for good, so they never have to start over again. The call is where you see whether that is what you need, and if it is, exactly how we would help you do it. We would rather be upfront about that than dress it up.
It is also 45 minutes where the whole conversation is about you: your history, your life, and what you actually want. A good sales call and a good planning call are the same call.
Who you actually speak to
You speak to someone from the Lean With Plants team, on Zoom. It is not Chelsea, and it is not your future coach. Coach matching happens after you join.
The person on the call has one job: understand your situation well enough to tell you honestly whether one-on-one coaching will get you where you want to go.
What actually happens in the 45 minutes
It is all about you. The conversation moves through four stages.
- Where you are today. Your health, your weight, and your behaviors around food. Not a lecture, just an honest picture.
- Looking backwards. The moments that caused the weight gain. The real reason you bought the gym membership and used it for a month. The real reason you have been stuck, or lost weight and watched it come back.
- Looking forward. Your genuine goal. Not the one you think is realistic, the one you actually want. Forty pounds? Strength? Energy to keep up with your grandkids?
- Bridging the gap. What would have to change for you to get there and stay there: habits, behavior, and the way you see yourself around food.
After that, if it looks like a fit, we explain how the program would work for you and what it costs.
What the call is not
It is not a cooking class, and it is not a calorie calculation. You will never be asked to count a calorie, on the call or in the program.
It is also not a one-size-fits-all pitch. The whole point is to find out whether coaching fits your life, and if something else would serve you better, we will tell you. Lean With Plants works because clients get real results, so we only take on women we are confident we can help.
How price comes up
Price is discussed on the call, near the end, once both of you know whether the program fits.
We do not put a number on the website, because the right plan, and the right way to pay for it, is specific to you. That is what the call is for.
What we can tell you now:
- It is not the crazy number most women imagine. For most women it is very doable.
- We partner with Klarna and Affirm, so you can spread the investment out over time.
- If it is the right fit, we want to make it work, and we can usually get creative to do that.
The full reasoning is in how much does Lean With Plants cost.
How the call ends
If it is a fit and you both say yes, you get set up straight away. If it is not a fit, you part ways, and you leave with more clarity than you arrived with. Either way, you have spent 45 minutes with someone paying close attention to your situation.
The women who get the most out of the call are the ones who come curious, with their questions ready. Reading this article counts.
Your questions are answered before you even get there
After you book, your confirmation page has short videos from Chelsea answering the questions women ask most: what coaching looks like day to day, whether it works through menopause, whether you need to be vegan, and how the investment works. That way the call itself can be all about you.
How to get the most out of your call
- Reply YES to the text. Someone from our team will message you personally after you book. A quick YES tells them you are coming.
- Be somewhere quiet, ideally on a laptop. It is a Zoom call, and it goes better when you are not driving or juggling dinner.
- Watch the short videos on your confirmation page first. They cover the investment, what coaching looks like day to day, menopause and health conditions, and what results look like.
- Bring the list. Every diet, app, challenge and program you have tried. It tells us more than any questionnaire.
- Know your real goal. Not the polite one.
What happens after you book
Someone from our team will text you personally, and you will get a few friendly reminders by email and text so the call does not slip your mind in a busy week. Chelsea is big on this, because a forgotten appointment should never be the reason a woman misses the change she was looking for.
