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.

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.

Get Coaching Clients: How to Get Leads

Getting leads is easy. You can buy them, swap them, even sweat a little and give away a good offer to subscribe them. But getting good leads is harder. Good leads are those who are interested--truly interested--in what you've got. For example, if you sell hot dogs and someone comes and asks for ice cream, no matter how great your hot dogs are, if they are really looking for chocolate, no sale. In other words, unless someone wants what you've got, it's a pretty losing proposition. Yet, I find so many going after who they think is a great prospect and losing out on the actual prospect. If you have to talk someone into something, they don't really want it. However, if you just have to gently lead them to the decision, they probably do. Leading them is just a matter of asking the right questions and picking up on cues from their answers, hesitations and voice modulations. If you ask someone how business is going and they hesitate or skirt the issue, you can b...
