Support for Coaches
I have been coaching for many years. I built up my practise very quickly and with relatively little effort in comparison with many other coaches.
I have helped people across a range of areas including major career changes, creating successful businesses and removing life debilitating fears and phobias. I find this part of my work extremely rewarding and satisfying.
Ninety percent of my clients take my coaching services over the telephone or Skype. This method of coaching works well. When it is delivered effectively, it enables significant life changes, it pays well, there are no travel costs, it is very time efficient and I get the opportunity to coach from anywhere in the world to anywhere in the world at times which are convenient to me.
I am a big fan of Neural Linguistic Programming (NLP). I am an NLP Practitioner and I was fortunate enough to train with Richard Bandler (NLP Co-founder) and Paul McKenna. One thing that NLP has taught me is that strategies can be learnt and if one person is achieving results in a given area then anybody else can enjoy the same benefits if they know how. Simple isn’t it? Well, I have applied this to building a successful coaching practise. Over the last few months I have worked with lots of coaches and helped them to increase their confidence, generate more clients and build effective and profitable coaching practises.
I understand the value of coaching from first hand experience as a coach and a recipient of coaching. I want more coaches to be successful, which mean that it continues to grow rapidly as an industry and more people benefit.
I have talked to a significant number of coaches who have the qualification, the web site, the skills to help people, but for some reason they cannot generate sufficient paying clients. Many good coaches end up quitting the profession for this reason and this is a real waste of investment and talent.
As my practise became more successful I found myself starting to help other coaches build their practises by sharing techniques and knowledge.
I understand that starting a coaching practice and generating clients is extremely challenging. Many of the courses that coaches attend provide an excellent overview and some guidance around generating clients, but this is not always enough. The main reason for this is that we all need to do things differently and the one-to-one time you receive on a course is limited. We all have different strengths, weaknesses and circumstances that influence how we can build our businesses.
The return on investment is simple - you generate one or two coaching programmes as a result of working with me and your investment is paid back. Any further coaching programmes you sell as as a result of our work together are profit. Every coach and councellor I have worked with has seen an excellent return on investment. I will only work with you if I am confident that I can help you generate business.
I work with people who are starting or expanding their own coaching practices and enable them to create a strategy that works for their own invidual circumstances and plays to their strengths. The programmes consist of a combination of coaching, role play and a stack of tips and ideas that will enable you to get things moving quickly. Clearly, I am in a great position to help with this given my own track record. The bulk of my clients are telephone and Skype based, which works great for me given other constraints on my time. I can help you in the following areas:
- Selecting a training provider/challenging the need for training
- Generating clients
- Developing your marketing proposition/niche
- Constructing an effective pricing model
- Developing and promoting your web site
- Sales techniques with role play to enable you to convert free sessions into paying clients
- Creating an effective elevator pictch
- Prioritising your activities and focusing on the right stuff
- Advertising schemes
- Internet marketing
- Creating a passive income through online product sales (e.g. eBooks)
- Developing an effective marketing system to generate the number of clients you require to support your target income
- Enabling you to tap into your own personal motivation and discipline to ensure that you take action (activity = results)
- Exploiting you own personal network and resources, which may have more potential than you think
- Working through blockers, which are compromising your confidence or ability to sell and coach
- Building a strong telephone/Skype based clientele with the option of coaching across the UK or globally
I have worked with many people who had the potential to be great coaches, but were lacking in confidence or the skills to generate enough clients to fill their coaching slots. With my support they now have effective coaching practices with regular streams of clients. Also, I don't just coach you - I share a stack of my own proven techniques that will help you generate clients and combine this with role play to build your confidence.
I can use NLP to release any deep seated confidence issues or subsitute ways of thinking that are compromising you. I get you fixed up and ready to build your practise. I have a proven track record in this area and invite you to contact me if you need support. Your investment will pay back with one to two clients signing up for your programmes.
I am happy to spend one hour with you free of charge to help you assess your current position and provide you with some tips and a suggested approach. There is no obligation to move forward and this offer is available during May. Please contact me to secure your session.
