Get Coaching Clients: Step One to Positive Profits


OK, so you're a coach. No, make that "COACH." Capital letters. Lots of positivity. You've studied. You're credentialed. Heck, you can do this! This is your dream career.

Now what?

If you stroll the internet you'll find no shortage of coaches. You'll find great site, horrific sites and everything in-between.

But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Before you create the site and system that will draw people to you, you have to do one thing: Decide what you really want.

"I know what I want. I want clients," you say rolling your eyes. "I already know what kind of coach I am. (Choose one or insert your own title) I'm a life coach. I'm a business coach. I'm a love coach."

Seriously?

Life coach? What exactly does that mean?

It means I help people get their life on track. I help them get unstuck. I help them decide who they really are and what they want.

OK, cool. But you already know telling someone you're a "life coach" is a recipe for confusion and maybe even a yawn, right?

Well, yeah...

So... that's why you need to decide what you really are.

But I already told you...

No, wait! You're not a life coach. (Who came up with that generic title anyway?) You help people get on-tack and stay focused. Sound good?

Yeah.

So, that's what you do. Is it really what you want? Do you LOVE this part of your coaching or is there another area you enjoy more?

Hmm, yeah, I like it. But you know, now that I think of it, I really like helping people make new career decisions. I helped a woman stuck in a dead-end job decide to get training to become a Realtor and now she is really happy and successful. That was great.

OK, so now we're getting somewhere...


***
This is just the first step in making your coaching career more successful. Once you decide what it is you truly want to do (get specific), you can hone your message and people will understand what it is you can do for them.

Get Coaching Clients: Marketing for Clients-- The Basics

Part Two: GET COACHING CLIENTS THE BASICS -- How to start marketing for your clients The bottom line is you need clients to make money. For some this is akin to stabbing themselves in the eye. For others, it's not big trick. They market, network and basically act like a Town Crier for themselves. They are their own best media. I totally get the first one; the second is a mystery to me. However, for the last several years I've been a pretty successful marketing coach and consultant. No, I'm not a zillionaire, but I've bought several homes, had top-level cars, yada, yada, yada. It's not the material stuff that makes me swoon, though. It's the rewarding connections with customers who use my advice and guides to help them. It's the great testimonials and happy people I work with. That's what jazzes me. But, I do like to eat, so I have to continue to market and "sell" myself. And I can tell you I've learned a thing or 90 about...

Online Marketing Trends in the Next Decade - What will continue to grow; what will die off

Online Marketing Trends in the Next Decade - What will continue to grow; what will die off If you're a small business owner and entrepreneur, you know that selling is a high-priority, key aspect of keeping your business growing. This involves consistent marketing, branding, media (in some cases) and personalized selling. Bringing in new leads and business can be as easy as going to where your leads source is. These days, often social media platforms and groups are where your target market congregates. You can reach them, provide information, engaging videos and do your personal selling to bring them into your business. One key trend will be more personal engagement with each prospective customer. For example, mass emailing and "hit and miss" scattershot messages will give way to more targeted, personalized emails that are directed at a prospect. These are designed to not only personally invite a prospect to your business/site, but to create a relationship. Another...

Where to Get Free Life Coaching Leads

When you're starting your coaching business, the toughest thing could be getting new leads. It's where most coaches struggle. However, if you're resourceful, you can come up with leads in your very own neighborhood. One way is to start a networking group. This isn't just any old networking group, however. It's a coach networking group. By working with a small group of dedicated coaches from every discipline (love, life, weight, business, etc.) you can create a "forum" of sorts that not only helps you grow, gives you credibility in your community and exposure, but also gives you a constant source of leads to share with others. By setting up a group like this you can mandate that all members bring and share leads, offer resources for learning and even help share in any costs associated with running the group. You can advertise on local sites like craigslist.org or even set up a Meet Up group dedicated to this.
