Video production business coaching
Video Business Academy: $0 → $250K/mo
Built from zero, with clients who stay two to three years.
The situation
Video Business Academy teaches videographers to run a profitable production business. At the start there were no clients, no delivery team and no systems.
The decision was to build the back end first, so that every client signed would be retained, tracked and offered the next step at the right time.
What we built
- Client success systems from day one: onboarding, check-in cadence, and a defined result each client is working toward.
- Retention tracking: every client's progress and engagement visible weekly, with drop-off flagged early.
- Upsell and resell flows: continuation and expansion offers built into the program's structure, not bolted on later.
- A delivery team scaled with the client base, so the founder's time stayed on coaching, not administration.
What moved
- Revenue grew from zero to $250K a month.
- Client lifetime value rose from around $4K to more than $50K.
- More than half of clients reach the program's stated result.
- More than 30% of revenue comes from resells, and the average client stays two to three years.
Timeline
In what order.

“Diego built our entire backend from scratch: client success systems, upsell flows, retention tracking. We went from $0 to $250K/mo and our clients stay for 2 to 3 years on average.”
