Luke Iha: Client Mastery & Business Operations

This skill operationalizes the business side of being a creative strategist — not what to write, but how to get hired, build proof, acquire clients, and leverage AI-era judgment as a monetizable skill. While luke-iha-creative-strategy handles upstream strategic thinking, this skill handles the downstream business engine: client acquisition formulas, proof ladder sprinting, testimonial extraction, and the "Paid to Feel" methodology that makes the creative strategist role AI-proof.

Core Frameworks

• CR × OU Formula — Clients = Conversion Rate × Outreach Units. The only two variables.
• POP Stack — Positioning + Offer + Proof (80% of conversion = proof)
• 7-Rung Proof Ladder — Resume → Samples → Certifications → Testimonials → Track Record → Case Studies → Blue-Chip Client
• Paid to Feel — Monetizing nervous-system judgment in an AI production world
• Creative is the New Targeting — Post-Andromeda creative diversity mandate
