What if Getting More Clients was Not An Issue
What if Getting More Clients was Not An Issue
What would be like to be coaching dozens of clients who value your services so highly that they work with you for a year or more? Because they continually refer their colleagues, you have this stream of pre-qualified prospects contacting you every week. You raise your fees significantly and you still have a wait list! So you put together groups so you could serve more people at one time. And, you carved out a block of time to work on that book you want to write. You’re scheduled to take a two week vacation to Hawaii at the end of this month…
Not only do I know coaches who are this successful, I am blessed to be one of them. Do we still have problems? Sure, but it’s never about getting more clients. How do you get beyond the constant issue of getting more coaching clients?
It comes down to these five keys:
5. Highly value your time.
4. Act as if your coaching business is successful already in every choice you make.
3. Deliver valuable services and products.
2. Have several support systems to keep resourced and learning.
1. Market to one very specific niche market.
This last one is really the first key. Once you choose a niche market and click on the certainty button, you’ll not only feel better but you will also attract the best clients for you. Get ready to make marketing a whole lot easier!
Figuring out your best niche market sometimes requires expert help. It did for me. And most coaches have some pretty big resistance to narrowing their niche. But getting past that resistance is one of the most important breakthroughs needed to help you be a successful coach. I’m not just talking about a six-figure income kind of success. I’m talking about making a difference, supporting others to more prosperity, which starts within yourself.
My personal definition of success is coming out of any challenge as a better person than I was before. I wouldn’t find that success without the support of others.
