One of the most frequently asked questions I receive is, 'How do I find new clients?" There is no one size fits all answer for this question. However, there are a set of answers that will work for most new coaches. There are several variables in finding new clients. The good news is, once you know the set of answers or fundamental truths, you can begin enrolling new clients.
I know most life coaches I speak with do not really know much about marketing, online or physical. When you were in the process of becoming a life coach, you probably thought that once you received your certification, people would come find you. Unfortunately, this is not how it works in the real world.
Another problem new coaches have is converting a qualified prospect into a paying client. Many new coaches start talking to prospects and have no idea how to enroll them. They fumble through a free session, and end up losing the prospect. Their conversation usually ends with, "Well, give me a call if you ever need a coach." The truth is, this prospect will never call you back.
My friend, Carey Peters, at Holistic MBA, with her business partner Stacey Morgenstern, have created a free 4 video series that can specifically help coaches get more paying clients. This is an excellent video series that you should listen to several times to get all of the valuable content out of these videos. I have watched them and they are top quality. These are not 5 minute quick videos, but in depth videos with explanations and some role play to show you how to convert prospects into
clients.
If Carey Peters sounds familiar to you, I posted an earlier blog about her niche starter kit. If you have not downloaded it, please do. It is a very good pdf explaining on how to determine the viability of your niche.
If you are a new coach and struggling to find clients, don't feel alone. Also, don't feel like it's your fault that you cannot find paying clients. I talk with so many coaches who feel that their dream of being a coach is nothing but an expensive hobby, but it doesn't have to be that way. Just by learning what is in these videos and taking action on that information, can transform your coaching practice into a thriving business. I know you have valuable information that can be used to help someone. With these videos, you can find that someone and coach them to their desired results.
Please let me know what you think of these videos. I value your feedback.
