DS Academy  Transformation

From being the admin clerk of his own academy, to just creating and closing.

Every new student used to mean one more task for him: take the payment, open the account, chase the instalment. With the system in place, those three things run on their own, and he's left creating content and closing the calls that arrive qualified.

How it works

The shift

The founder's week

Before the system, this is how his week filled up: between creating content and closing the calls that actually bought, everything else was on him.

  1. Mon

    • Nurturing interested students by hand≈ 25 min
    • Creating content

  2. Tue

    • Checking Bizum payments, opening accounts, sending access≈ 20 min
    • Chasing people to show up for their call≈ 20 min

  3. Wed

    • Closing calls
    • Chasing people to show up for their call≈ 20 min

  4. Thu

    • Nurturing interested students by hand≈ 25 min
    • Tracking and logging instalments≈ 25 min

  5. Fri

    • Checking Bizum payments, opening accounts, sending access≈ 20 min
    • Stopping billing that has run its course≈ 10 min
    • Creating content

An example week at 10 new sign-ups a month (illustrative volume, not DS Academy's): ≈ 2 h 45 min of manual work switched off, the same ≈ 11 hours a month as in “The result”. What's left is creating content and closing calls. APM's estimate.

How it works

One student's journey

From the first message to the last instalment, six moments — in each one, what it used to cost him against what the system takes.

  1. By handnurturing them with messages, one by one, until they buy: ≈ 20 min.

    With the systemautomated messaging does it on its own.

  2. By handchasing them to show up for the sales call: ≈ 15 min.

    With the systemthe filter only books people who can pay.

  3. By handchecking the Bizum payment, opening their account and sending access: ≈ 15 min.

    With the systemthe account is created on its own the moment the payment lands.

  4. By handwatching for it to land and logging it: ≈ 5 min.

    With the systembilling repeats on its own.

  5. By handwatching for it to land and logging it: ≈ 5 min.

    With the systembilling repeats on its own.

  6. By handstopping billing before it overcharges: ≈ 5 min.

    With the systemthe subscription cancels itself.

In total, ≈ 65 min that no longer land on him.

The result

What the system gives him back, one student at a time.

Time saved, approx.

65min

saved on every new student paying in instalments

  • ≈ 20 min: nurturing them by hand, one by one, until they buy.
  • ≈ 15 min: chasing them to show up for the sales call.
  • ≈ 15 min: checking the Bizum payment, opening the account and sending access.
  • ≈ 10 min across the next two instalments (≈ 5 min each): watching for each one and logging it.
  • ≈ 5 min when the last instalment lands: stopping billing before it overcharges.

With 10 new sign-ups a month, that's ≈ 11 hours a month — illustrative volume, not DS Academy's own.

APM's estimate, not a measurement: it includes nurturing them and chasing the call, on top of onboarding and instalments. Doesn't include calls with people who couldn't buy, which the filter keeps out.

That's the difference between having a business and being the business.

The first call is a diagnosis, not a sales pitch.
