Why CFA coaching providers lose candidates to online courses with a free mock exam
The decision window is two or three days
A finance professional considering the CFA Charter makes their enrollment decision in a very short window. It is typically within two or three days of first researching preparation options. During that window they compare two or three providers, and the decision almost always goes to the one that gave them something immediately useful.
A competitor online course that delivers a free 20-question Level 1 mock exam the afternoon of the inquiry has engaged the candidate in an active experience. By the time your follow-up PDF arrives, the candidate is three questions into a diagnostic that tells them exactly where they need to improve. The competing provider is now positioned as the solution.
