Looking to start coaching business and have questions about coach training? Many new coaches, those who are starting a coaching business, usually have many questions about coaching training.
What Kind Of Coaching Training Do I Need?
Which Life Coach Training Do You Recommend?
What Do I Need To Do To Get My Coach Certification?
All these are the questions that have been asked many times on quite a few coaching forums.
The goal of the coaches asking these question is to create a successful coaching business, but they are not asking about that. Many coaches just assume that once they do their coach training and become certified coaches, clients will just come to them.
Unfortunately, that is not the case. I have worked with many coaches who have gone through coach training, but could not find any clients for their coaching business. Truth is, you can be the best coach, but if you don't know how to market your business, you will not get any clients.
In fact, that is what many coaches, who are looking to start coaching business, do. They pay a lot of money for their coach training, but they could not get any business. After a while, they are ready to throw in the towel.
You can be a great coach, but the issue could be that you do not know how to market your coaching services. If you are waiting for coaching clients to find you, chances are, that will not happen. Instead of just waiting for coaching clients to show up, you should create a marketing plan for your coaching business.
So if you are a great coach, but are not able to find clients for your coaching business, what kind of training do YOU need? Here is what I recommend you do:
Do you want to create a successful coaching practice? What does successful coaching practice mean to you? It means different things to different people.
Do you want to only work with clients one-on-one?
Do you want to design a new program for your clients?
Do you want to write a book?
Do you want to give speeches?
Do you want to create your own information products?
Do you want to .... ?
The sky is the limit, but before you move forward with your business, you must know which way you are going.
Write out what you are looking for and where you want to be a year from now and 3 years from now.
Based on your goals above, get business and marketing training. No one marketing training is right for everyone. Take a look at a few different programs and decide which one is right for you.
You can join a group program or hire a mentor to work with you one-on-one. You can read marketing books and ebooks, attend teleseminars or read articles and reports on how to market your business. There are many possibilities and I want to encourage you to pick one that is right for you.
The journey of ten thousand miles begins with the first step. Take one step TODAY - write out your goals, create a plan to market your business, take one marketing action that will help you bring in clients. Click Here For A FREE Tutorial On How To Market Your Coaching Business.
Bottom line: Even if you are the best coach in the world, you will not get clients unless your potential clients know about you. And you MUST market in order to let your potential clients know about your business.
