INTERNAL PROPOSAL  ·  Clinic Launch Lab → Contour Research  ·  12 August 2026  ·  Nothing here is live

Provider experience proposal

We are selling a revenue system at the price of a discount.

The current pricing page presents two options separated by $2,495. Everything Clinic Launch Lab delivers — the campaign, the four-day launch, three days of live selling, the training, the scripts, the kits and the guarantee — sits inside that $2,495.

The page is not underselling the launch by a little. It is pricing it at roughly 7% of what it delivers.

Read this first

There are two separate things here

1. This document

Our recommendation to Doug. The findings, the arithmetic, the rep-commission problem and the rollout plan. It is internal to this conversation and never goes on contourlight.com. It scrolls top to bottom in order — there is nothing to click past.

2. The template site

A working example of what we are proposing, built on Contour Light's own fonts, colours, logo and imagery. Three pages at /demo/, each marked with a gold PROPOSED TEMPLATE ribbon so it is never mistaken for the live site. Doug can take the whole template or just the pricing page.

The pricing page is the ask. Everything else is optional.

Section 1  ·  The core problem, in one line

The page teaches reps that the launch is worth $2,495.

Option 1
$29,995
Complete Revenue Generation System
Option 2
$27,500
DIY equipment only
The delta
$2,495
everything Clinic Launch Lab does,
as read by a buyer and a rep

The page itself lists $2,499 of Practice Naturals value inside Option 1 — $500 account setup plus $1,999 in Metabolic Reset Kits. That single line item already exceeds the entire price difference.

By the page's own numbers, the launch event, the training, the campaign and the guarantee are free — and we still lose the sale to Option 2.

Section 2  ·  Findings

Eight things the page is doing to the sale

Every item below is taken from the live page at contourlight.com/contour-light-pricing/ as of 12 August 2026.

01 The choice architecture prices the system at the delta

Two cards side by side, same visual weight, same button treatment, same CTA verb. A buyer reads them as two legitimate products separated by $2,495. Nothing on the page reframes that number, so the buyer does the only arithmetic available to them and concludes the launch costs $2,495 — then decides whether it is worth it.

02 Option 2 is visually easier to say yes to

Option 1 carries more than twenty bullets. Option 2 carries three. On a laptop at normal scroll position, Option 2's button is on screen and Option 1's is far below the fold. The recommended option is punished by its own completeness, and the only visible CTA belongs to the option we do not want sold.

03 The most valuable line item has no number

The 4-Day On-Site Launch Event — the single thing no competitor offers — is listed as "(Priceless)", while the $500 Practice Naturals account setup gets a hard dollar figure. In a value stack, the unpriced item reads as the unjustifiable one.

On-Site 4-Day Launch Event (Priceless)

04 The guarantee asymmetry is never stated

Option 1 carries a 120-Day Profit Guarantee. Option 2 carries none — and the page never says so. The strongest sentence available is missing entirely: there is no profit guarantee on equipment only, because without the launch there is no process to stand behind.

05 The page is written about the buyer, not to them

The guarantee reads "if they are not on the path to profitability... we continue working with them." The deliverables read "marketing to the clinic's existing client database." This is internal rep-facing language pasted onto a customer-facing page. There is almost no "you" on the highest-intent page on the site.

"If they are not on the path to profitability within 120 days, we continue working with them until they are."

06 No money math anywhere on a $29,995 page

The page asks for thirty thousand dollars and never shows what a launch produces. No revenue range, no payback period, no worked example. The number that closes this sale — a real launch that beat the clinic's best month ever — appears nowhere.

07 Zero proof on the highest-stakes page

No testimonial, no named clinic, no photograph of an actual launch, no case study. The patient testimonials page has more social proof than the page asking a business owner for $29,995.

08 A dangling income claim with no disclaimer

"Add a passive revenue source to your business**" appears on the pricing page, the physician guide and the purchase page. The double asterisk points to a footnote that does not exist on any of them. Separately, "passive revenue" is the wrong promise for this product — the entire value of the launch is that the service line is actively run by trained staff. It undercuts our own pitch and carries avoidable earnings-claim exposure.

Section 3  ·  The finding that isn't on the page

The rep earns $5,000 either way.

20% on a $24,995 base, paid immediately on the sale of the system, identical on Option 1 and Option 2. This is the real reason Option 2 keeps winning, and no amount of page design fixes it.

09 Identical pay, identical timing, harder sale

The commission is not delayed and it does not depend on the launch event ever happening. The rep is paid the same $5,000, at the same moment, whichever option closes. So the only thing that differs is how hard the sale is:

  • Option 1 costs $2,495 more, so there is more price resistance to work through
  • It requires explaining a four-day event and a second company the buyer has never heard of
  • It introduces a scheduling conversation, since launches are booking two to three months out
  • It has more moving parts, and therefore more ways to stall a deal that is already closeable

Same money, same day, more work. A rational rep sells Option 2 every time. They are not going off-script — they are following the incentive exactly as it is designed.

10 The only reason to sell Option 1 is deferred and uncertain

There is a real long-term incentive: a clinic that succeeds buys a second and third system, and that is the rep's account. Jerry's assessment is that this is not happening in practice — and that is predictable. A commission today is certain; a repeat sale in eighteen months is a maybe. Reps discount maybes to nearly zero.

That deferred value has to be made concrete and visible, or it will keep losing to the certain $5,000. That is a rep-enablement problem, not a website problem, and it needs its own one-page piece: what a successful clinic is worth to the rep over three years versus what a clinic with an unused device is worth, which is nothing, ever again.

11 The $2,495 delta is already funding two things

On the current structure the premium on Option 1 covers the Clinic Launch Lab fee, or contributes to the monthly training payments. A rep incentive would be a third claim on the same $2,495.

$2,495  −  CLL launch delivery  −  training obligation  −  rep incentive  =  does not close

That $2,500 is the only money in the structure that is not already spoken for by the device itself. It is where a rep incentive has to come from, and deciding how it splits is the single highest-leverage change available — higher than anything on the page.

The page fix and the comp fix are the same fix. Doing either one alone fails:
  • Fix the page but not the comp → the rep offers the DIY option verbally anyway, because they still get paid the same for less work.
  • Fix the comp but not the page → the buyer finds the cheaper option on the page and self-selects into it.

The fix: make Option 1 worth selling

The $2,500 difference between the two options already exists inside the current structure. The simplest change that moves rep behaviour is to route part of it to the person actually making the choice.

Today

$5,000  /  $5,000

Identical on both options, paid immediately on the sale. The rep has no financial reason to take on the harder conversation.

Proposed

$6,000  /  $5,000

$1,000 of the $2,500 difference goes to the rep on Complete System sales. A 20% raise for choosing the sale that actually installs a working service line.

It costs nothing that is not already in the price, it requires no change to the $24,995 commission base, and it is paid on the sale like every other commission — not held until the launch event happens months later, which would discount it to nothing.

Why $1,000 and not a token amount: the bump has to be visible enough to change a decision the rep makes under pressure, in front of a buyer, with an easier option sitting right there. A hundred dollars is a rounding error. A thousand is a reason.

Section 4  ·  The fix

What the new page does differently

Now

Two equal cards. Buyer compares $29,995 to $27,500 and sees a $2,495 upgrade.

Proposed

One offer, presented alone with a full value stack totalling $65,999. The equipment-only path appears far below as a plain, gated exception — not a peer.

Now

"On-Site 4-Day Launch Event (Priceless)"

Proposed

Day 1 training $5,000 · Days 2–4 live selling $15,000 · campaign $3,000 · sales kit $2,500. Every line carries a defensible number.

Now

The delta is left for the buyer to interpret.

Proposed

The delta is stated and reframed: "Equipment only is not $2,495 cheaper. It is $35,999 less." Same two prices, opposite conclusion.

Now

Both options have a self-serve "Get Started" button.

Proposed

Complete System has two paths — book a call or reserve and skip the call. Equipment only has no button: "released after a qualification call." It stays in the rep's pocket instead of on the buyer's screen.

Now

No proof, no economics.

Proposed

A real, named launch: Lux Bio Therapy, Henderson NV — 71% close rate on day one, 11 packages, $22,229 committed against a previous best month of $20,000. Disclaimed as one clinic's actual result, not a projection.

Now

The 30% revenue share on launch-event sales appears nowhere on the site. A buyer finds out about it after the fact, from a rep or a contract.

Proposed

Stated on the pricing page as a feature, with its scope spelled out: 30% of what we sell together during the launch, and nothing else — everything after is 100% yours, permanently. It is the strongest alignment proof we have. Hiding it wastes it and makes it feel like a catch.

Now

Nothing tells a buyer when any of this happens.

Proposed

The real sequence, stated plainly: system delivered in about a week so they can start treating immediately, launch events booking two to three months out, and an explicit section on what happens in the gap. The wait becomes proof of capacity instead of an unpleasant surprise.

Now

No objection handling on the page. Every doubt goes to the rep, or nowhere.

Proposed

Seven FAQs answering the objections the avatar actually raises — burned before, can't sell high ticket, can't afford it, staff won't buy in, already own a device.

One thing we did not do: delete the equipment-only option. Jerry's position is that it should never be shown publicly, and we agree it should never be offered by a rep. But removing it also removes the contrast that makes $29,995 look inexpensive — a single-price page has nothing to be cheap against. So the mock-up keeps it, strips it, and locks it behind a qualification call. The pricing page has a live toggle in the top bar so both versions can be compared in the meeting, and the final call is Doug's.

Section 5  ·  Built and ready to review

Three working pages

Built on Contour Light's own fonts, colours, logo and imagery pulled directly from the live site, so they drop into the existing Divi theme without a redesign. Read them in order — they are the buyer's journey. Each carries a gold ribbon marking it as a template, never the live site.

Section 6  ·  Beyond the pricing page

The message cannot start at checkout

A buyer arriving at the pricing page has already formed an opinion about what Contour Light is. Right now, everything upstream tells them it is a device.

A The homepage opens with a patient hook

The first words on contourlight.com are "Tired of yo-yo dieting?" and the primary button is "I WANT TO LOSE INCHES." The provider — the person who spends $29,995 — is a subordinate section further down. One site is being asked to convert two completely different buyers, and the patient is winning.

B Every provider page sells hardware attributes

"German-made LEDs." "Supreme coverage." "Easy to use." "Delivers power." All true, all device features. Across the physician guide and purchase pages there is no mention of a launch event, on-site training, or anyone selling alongside the clinic. A prospect can read the entire provider section and never learn the most valuable thing we do.

C "Marketing program" is doing far too much work

The physician guide describes "an innovative marketing program [that] helps Contour Light® users unlock the potential of their product." That sentence is carrying the entire Clinic Launch Lab ecosystem, and it reads like a PDF library. It is the least believable sentence on the site and it describes the most valuable thing on offer.

What we propose instead

  1. Split the front door

    Homepage asks one question — are you a patient or a provider — and sends each down a dedicated track. Patient messaging stops competing with a $29,995 decision.

  2. Make "The System" a top-level nav item

    Sitting between The Technology and Pricing. Every provider page links into it. This is the page that changes what the buyer thinks they are buying.

  3. Rewrite the provider pages around the service line

    Keep every clinical credibility asset — the IRB trial, both FDA clearances, the reflective coating. Reframe the benefit from "add a revenue source" to "install a service line your staff can run."

  4. Retire "passive revenue source"

    Wrong promise, no footnote behind the asterisk, unnecessary earnings-claim exposure. Replaced throughout with defensible language.

  5. Put proof on the provider track

    Launch event photography, staff-training footage, and one named clinic case study. Currently there is none anywhere on the buying path.

  6. Two cuts of the sales video

    One for cliniclaunchlab.com. A second for contourlight.com framing the purchase as installing a revenue department. Filming in Austin in the coming weeks; this page structure is the storyboard.

Section 7  ·  If Doug says yes

What happens next, and who does it

Phase 1 — this week

Pricing page goes live. Clinic Launch Lab supplies the finished copy, value stack and Divi build notes. Contour's team publishes, or gives us staging access and we build it. Lowest risk, highest return, one page.

Phase 2 — two weeks

"The System" page added to top-level nav. Provider home reworked. Passive-revenue language and the orphaned footnote removed sitewide.

Phase 3 — after Austin

Both video cuts land. Contour cut embeds on the provider home and system pages. Launch event photography and the first named case study go on the provider track.

Decisions we need from Doug in this meeting:
  1. Does equipment-only stay on the public page as a gated exception, or come off entirely?
  2. Will he route $1,000 of the $2,500 difference to the rep on Complete System sales, so Option 1 pays $6,000 against Option 2’s $5,000?
  3. Can the case-study clinic be named, or does it stay anonymous with the numbers intact?
  4. Who publishes — Contour's web team from our build notes, or do we get staging access?
  5. Is the revenue-share scope on the pricing page worded correctly, and is he comfortable stating it publicly?
One item that is not on this page and needs its own decision: the 120-Day Profit Guarantee. If the 120 days run from purchase rather than from the launch event, a clinic that buys in August and launches in October has almost no guarantee left by the time the system is actually installed. The mock-up states it as 120 days from your launch event. That wording needs to match the contract, or the contract needs to change.

Start with the pricing page.

It is one page, it is already built, and it is where the money is being left.
