Verbatim extraction from the PPTX canvas (9 slides parsed)
« Ça pique ma curiosité, ça me parle. »
Aller à la rencontre de vos personae. Où sont-ils ? Groupes Facebook ? Organismes professionnels ? Qu'avez-vous à leur apporter (innovation, prix, service, valeur) ?
« J'aime mon expérience de ce premier contact. Je souhaite en savoir plus. »
Inscription infolettre, clic sur une vidéo démo, demande d'informations via formulaire, demande de RDV — les différents points de contact et CTA. Qu'aiment-ils ? Récoltez avec leur consentement ce qu'ils ont à vous transmettre.
« Je le veux ! Shut up take my money. » Valeur perçue (ROI, …) ✓ $$$
Le déclencheur de l'achat ? La fréquence ? La croissance de mes revenus est-elle toujours en adéquation avec le changement et l'impact + souhaité ?
« Je reviens, je rachète, je re-visionne, j'interagis dans la communauté. »
Ce qu'ils aiment chez vous ? Ce qu'ils aimeraient trouver d'autres ? Quels avantages à rester avec vous ?
« Je suis un ambassadeur. Je partage ce bon plan. Je partage mon adhésion à un mouvement. »
Pourquoi voudraient-ils vous référer ? Simple ou compliqué pour eux de le faire ? Et pourquoi ?

Lead the conversation · Ask the right questions
"We've nailed the brand and the mission — now we're building the cohort."
Lynn-approved slogan canon · 800-founder framing · Pioneer 01 first 10"Distribution is broker-mediated, not direct — B2B2C, not B2C."
Real-estate-agent partnership = consultant model · referrals from rejected-full-chalet buyers · this changes the Attraction stage entirely"Mobile app V13 ships Apr 28-29 — demo-ready for Connexion stage."
37-night calendar · Concierge tiers · Owner Hub · Lynn called it "l'application du bonheur""Legal opinion (Michel Lebeuf · TCJ) is in flight — gates Conversion stage."
V31_14 brief sent Apr 2 · follow-up call this week · gates Desjardins financing + real-estate-agent channel activation"We need Maryline's read on persona/channel mix for an Attraction-first 90 days."
Resource allocation question — which 1-2 personae lock for the next quarterShould we focus first on Attraction + Connexion + Conversion (Phase 2 actions) and defer Cocooning + Impact to Phase 3 once we have actual customers?
Why it matters: avoids over-planning unconverted-customer journey work
Of A (Deep Worker) / B (Family Aspirant) / C (Founder/Pioneer), which 1-2 should we lock for the next 90 days?
Why it matters: agent partnerships vs IG vs Loom strategy is different per persona — resource focus
With our distribution thesis being real-estate broker partnerships (B2B2C), how does that change the Attraction stage canvas?
Why it matters: Defi's 5C framework assumes direct-to-consumer; we have a partner-mediated model
"Apply to Qualify for the Alpine Circle" + "Become a Founder" + "Continue" are CMPL-locked. How do we A/B test variations within canon constraints?
Why it matters: brand discipline vs marketing experimentation
We don't have a property closed yet. Can we run Attraction + Connexion this quarter with property TBD, or do we need property-in-hand to start?
Why it matters: sequencing — financing/legal blocks acquisition; conversion needs a closeable thing
Justin's origin story (McDonald's parking lot, $120K Airbnb, 48 months) is the strongest hook. How heavily should we lean on founder-led content in Attraction?
Why it matters: capacity tradeoff — Justin's time vs scalable content
What does post-S06 look like? Do we get a structured Phase 3 framework or move to Maryline 1-on-1?
Why it matters: scheduling clarity for next 90 days
